The Snowman, Round 2

Dec 05, 2006 19:39

Ok, so clearly no one has clicked the link which I posted yesterday. Here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfiqrkV_ZqI. This is partly my fault, I think, as I gave it a rather poor introduction. Let me just try to impress upon you the sheer genius of this clip ( Read more... )

I watched it. I was saving that news for later. Oh well.

:D I probably shouldn't assume (you know what they say about assuming...) that no one's watched it, but I just thought it was so great that I couldn't imagine that no one would have said anything at all if they'd seen it too. How are you these days, by the by? I had occasion to say bijou the other day, and I thought of you.

the_twilighted December 6 2006, 00:11:42 UTC

Oh, I am the same as ever.

Bijou?

yemminie December 6 2006, 00:18:45 UTC

Never mind. :)

the_twilighted December 6 2006, 00:20:38 UTC

I won't then.

I am too busy using xenoglossophobia at any opportunity to mind anyway.

yemminie December 6 2006, 00:25:35 UTC

Ooooh, I am well impressed with myself. I correctly guessed the meaning of that monster you just threw down before I looked it up.

Haha, that made me laugh!

Irn Bru really has the knack for making great adverts.

yemminie December 6 2006, 23:06:23 UTC

It cracked me up as well. Their advertising people are just great - I wonder if they get cushy offers from firms in New York and such all the time.

kibet December 6 2006, 09:06:33 UTC

I watched it as well, just never said too

yemminie December 6 2006, 23:07:30 UTC

And did you laugh?

kibet December 7 2006, 08:24:26 UTC

I may have smirked, but remember I was brought up on Irn Bru adverts so they need to be extra special to make me laugh.

I watched it -- but I never watched The Snowman as a kid so I was a little confused at first!

I have to say I'm disturbed by the fact that the Snowman wants the Irn Bru so damned much he rips his own nose off ;>

Ok, see, that's a problem. You need to take yourself off to a video store and rent it. If I recall, David Bowie is the narrator. Who doesn't like David Bowie?

Haha about the nose. It was a bit long and pointy - maybe he'd been looking into upgrading and seized the opportunity to be rid of that carrot eyesore.

David Bowie? He's more xmassy than I thought (see also: Little Drummer Boy duet with Frank Sinatra, wearing matching Mr Rogers cardigans)
