Travelling in Denmark? Here's an advert for buses there.

The original Danish language ad is here.

Bryan Cranston of the TV hit show Breaking Bad was on Leno (a.k.a. The Tonight Show) last night ... they started by talking about how BC only got any really good roles late in life, and the kind of crud such folks usually have to do early in their careers. Right after BC stated that despite that "I'm proud of everything I've done in my career", Leno showed this TV ad from oh so long ago:

Preparation H commercial (1980s) - YouTube

"What's with the Clark Kent get-up? What are you supposed to be, the Superman of Hemorrhoidal itch relief?" :)

I can't read or say that name without cracking up. :)

KH was great playing himself as the slimy repairman-slash-low-budget-porn-star in the TV show the gal in Fargo was watching when Pete and Steve Buscemi kinapped her.

@Brian-E: Can you please tell me what song is used in that ad? I tried googling the ad and all I got were various versions of the bus commercial.

Just putting this out there for consideration...

The Church is supposed to have all the answers...

And then at 1230 the bell rings once...
And then at 1300 the bell rings once...
And then at 1330 the bell rings once...

Hmmmm....

[For non-U.S. folks not familiar with the slang term for Wednesday the following ad is built around, see here.]

Geico (once known by its non-initialism name of Government Employees Insurance Company - no longer has any special affiliation with the govt) has long been one of my fave companies as far as humorous TV ads goes - they have multiple funny advert series, only some of which feature the Geico gecko. Over the past several years one of these "side series" has been the "happier than a _____" series - I encourage folks who haven't seen these to look for the others on YouTube. My favorite is the recent one with the camel. (The human voice used for the camel is my favorite part).

I'm really not the person to ask when it comes to musical information, sorry. But on listening to it again, the music sounds to me like generic, possibly software-generated, stuff. Our resident youtube music expert will no doubt correct me if I've committed a heinous musical gaffe by saying that.

Who would that be?
I don't think it's Kraftwerk or Tangerine Orange.
Syd Barrett?
