Commercials Playing Online

Great news, I just found out that I didn't get cut out of the Star Wars Battlefront commercial afterall. I got an email today from one of the other actors who was in the commercial telling me that I was in it and it's playing online. This was good news because I was bitter when I thought I had been cut out. I regret all the threatening letters I sent George Lucas and I will return the Ewok I took hostage as soon as I can. It seems like other people have seen it, and it's played all over the world. So that will be money I didn't expect to get. Which is good because this Wednesday I will be leaving for Vegas to perform in the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and compete in the finals of the Laugh Across America competition. So I'll need some extra dough to donate to the Golden Nugget Casino.

The commercial is pretty cool. It has the booming dramatic voice at the beginning and everything. My scene is of me running after another character from the movie in the snow, saying "Dude, hold up." I'm dressed up to look like a nerd, and they even made me talk like a nerd. I have no idea what scene I'm in or who I'm chasing because I don't know anything about Star Wars. I did check out the message boards on the website, however, and saw that people were talking about me. I'm going to paste some of the comments and respond to them on here, since I don't want to directly respond to them. I gotta keep some of that celebrity mistique ya know.

"It is the same trailer only difference is that they showed 3 nerds." - this guy is calling us nerds. doesn't he get that we're actors. isn't it funny how a guy who is writing on a star wars videogame message board is calling me a nerd.

"lol i thought it was pretty good... " - this was from a guy who goes by OldMan.exe, I guess I'm popular with the old geezers out there.

"i liked it when the guy said "duude hol' dup" - your a cool guy. we should hang out sometime. we can do calculus or whatever it is you like to do for fun.

"I guess, but if you look closer you can see that the guy has a droid blaster instead of a Rebel weapon " - this was the best post. this guy is the king of nerds and probably of virgins too. i can't believe he magnified the shot so much that he could see the kind of gun i was holding. i feel sorry for his parents, i'm sure this wasn't what they were expecting when they had sex that one night.

"yeah I like to big guy who was like, "dude hold up, I'm out a shape because I haven't left my mother's basement!" or something on those lines. And the albino guy who really hasn't had sun in a while. " - i can't believed i just got dissed by a star wars geek. it's pretty clever though, he must sit around and practice his disses when he's sitting around blowing up his blow up doll.

"The "dude hold up" was probaly the best part of it" - they even added a smiley face at the end. what a nice guy.

"the fat boy running in the ESB flash is bringing a Blaster Droid instead of a Blastech E-11.. " - this geek just called me fat. doesn't he know the camera adds 10 pounds. they were filming me with 3 cameras... ESB flash, Blaster Droid, Blastech E-11? This guy must of made his dad really proud growing up. His dad probably wanted a son who played sports, and ended up with an Erkel. I hope he gets severe handcramps and can never get online or play another video game...whaaaawhaaaawhaaaaa
