Ever notice mistakes in the commercials?

[Todd-'o'-Vision]

Maybe its the effexor but I have noticed several today.

One is the commercial where the farmer is getting techknowlogy/stock ideas from a talking cow. I can handle the animals talking, its actually a cool comedy bit. The mistake I see is the Cow has udders but talks in a males voice.

Another whould be the Mr. T 1-800-collect commecial in the gym where he is hitting the punching bad with his 1800 rings. When the camera focuses on him while he talks you can read the number right to left, then he punches the bag twice knocking it off the chain you again see the imprint of the rings but it also is right to left. if you read them left to right on the rings they would be backwards on the imprint or wice versa if correct on the bag reverse image on the rings.

how about you any thing you notice on the commecials

I noticed that on the Mr. T comercial as well.

Well, from being on the other side of the camera, I've noticed that milk is glue, and when you see a close-up of a person's hand it's rarely the same person whose face you just saw.

I've also noticed that every car commercial for the past 25 years looks exactly the same.

the ones that kill me are the manly guys in a boat fishing with open faced spinning reels and holding them upside down and reeling them backwards..or people who are supposed to be musicians holding instruments wrong...you'd think some nimrod would have a clue...

thats the obviousl DCL I mean just the little things that as the viewer views it it looks all good and well , like the talking cow, but then upon pondering it, you realize that the cow has udders and is a females.

p.s - my hands were in a local commercial about 2 years ago.

Well, it's hard to really nit-pick about that stuff because they aren't actually "mistakes". The producers know that cows are girls and that the numbers should be backwards, etc -- they just don't care. They're commercials, and all that matters is branding and getting the message across.

It's more fun to nit-pick about movie flubs, which are honest to God boo-boos.

But, if you put a gun to my head I'd have to say that all the SUV commercials that show these things climbing mountains without tipping over make me laugh.

I notice things in tv, movies, commercials, all that shit, and say just one thing. Hollywood. I know it's generalizing where these things are made. But it's hard to believe anything you see anymore, unless you see it in person, even then it's hard to tell sometimes.

Speaking of movies, I love the (almost-made-for-Cinemax/Showtime) movies that show a Private Eye or cop or someone who should know how to handle a gun waving it around like it's a toothbrush... I just ask myself if anyone involved in that movie has ever shot a gun before.

I guess you don't remember the actor Jon Erik Hexum who put a .44 Magnum, loaded w/ "blanks" to his head, spun the chamber and jokingly said "Well, lets see if I get lucky" and proceeded to shoot the "wad" from the blank into his brain........dying 2 hours later.........

NO, Actors are not "trained' for guns............

I think I vaguely remember that... but I may be mis-remembering an episode of Matlock.

A few years ago one of the toilet paper commercials showed a bunch of ladies sitting around 'quilting' the tp.. with knitting needles!! There were so many complaints from Quilters that the commercial was changed. I can't remember which one, but I'm sure you've all seen it...

My favorite movie blooper is in North to Alaska.. a fight scene where John Wayne gets his toupee knocked off. Funny as heck.

Mastercard's commercial with listed items followed by prices has been shown just before the anti-drug terrorist-funding commercial with listed items followed by prices.

Although, its been "CG'd" out now, in Ben Hur.......in one of the scenes, there was an airplane (in the distance) flying thru

Or perhaps in 'Love Story' Ryan O' Neil plays hockey at "Haaa-vard" but in a scene where Ali Mc Graw visits him on the ice he is wearing "figure skates" with the toe stop.

"The Other Side of the Mountain" skier "Jill Kinmont goes off airborne releasing her ski poles in mid air, then they cut to a shot of her lying prone on the sand and "magically" they are back on her wrists.....

TSK TSK on the 'continuity" of these films

SO Neffie? What are you so worried about?

Dying a virgin....

 

[HoldenMcCrank]

ok how about

in Leathal Weapon whem Mel Gibson hand cuffs himself to the Jumper and they both jump off the building handcuffed together but in mid flight they come apart. Yet only with movie magic are they reconnected when they land in the air bag!

How exactly do they choose hand actors for commercials?

well my hands were dry cracking and stuff, so they fit perfect for the before hands for a locally made lotion commercial

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

How exactly do they choose hand actors for commercials?

They audition them, like the audition anything else. They also audition feet, legs, butts -- there are actors who specialize in body parts.

I have been sent on many hand modeling calls becasue I can do close up magic -- unfortunately I have a terrible habit of biting my nails, so I rarely book those gigs, which is fine, because I always feel damned silly with a camera pointing at my hands listening to a director tell me things like "I need more emotion from your fingers on this line..."

More an omission than a mistake but why do we never see pussy-shots in adverts for sanitary towels ?

 

[Spinaroonie]

Lipton commericals call Clay figuringes "puppets"

The latest ad for Vauxhall Astra cars (in UK) says there have been 750 improvements made.
