NEW David Hewlett version of the Stargate ad

[prion]

Not yet on TV, but perhaps this Friday, but it is online:

Go to http://www.scifi.com/atlantis/ then choose WATCH PREVIEW. When the screen finally pops up, you get a choice of three ads (the one that is playing - season 3 SGA, Joe Flanigan's pool ad, and now, David Hewlett's elevator ad)


--thanks to pavane of the david hewlett group for the tip!


Transcript:

Businessman gets into an elevator. Suddenly it plunges, but luckily, Rodney is also a passenger.

Businesman: "We're falling!"

Rodney (Calm): "Obviously, may I?" (gets out life signs detector or something)

Businessman: "Should we try the jumping thing?"

Rodney: "I've heard of people jumping through vertifically ????* through a falling elevator, which I don't think so... so, got it! Press seven eight four five two very quickly! Activate emergency braking system."

BUsinessman does it and they're saved. Doors open.: "It worked."

Rodney (smug): "I love me." and he leaves

WITH A LITTLE STARGATE, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

* Alas, he talked sooo fast I couldn't decipher it.

Here's my mini transcript

Guy: I'm falling!

Obviously, may I?

Guy: Should we try the jumping thing?

Brilliant if you're capable of jumping vertically at the velocity that of the falling elevator. Which . . . I don't think so. So, got it, press 78452 very quickly, activates emergency braking system.

Guy: It worked!?

I love me

I made some caps.. they are in the Hewlett Thunk but here are a couple of clear ones, these are capped from the file that appears on the SciFi site.

[Delka]

Yes, the last part "I love me" classic McKay speak. Bravo David!

And to be honest I like his ad better than Joe's (not that Joe did a bad job).

SGA fans will "get" the ad but would the casual viewer?

[Willow'sCat]

I love the last line too! How could you not?

Cool. They put my caps to shame (but then I made 'em small as what do you expect with a camera aimed at an 8 year old monitor?? <G>)
