Funny commercial...
« on: September 05, 2004, 04:58:38 PM »
Has anyone else see this commercial? It takes place in what appears to be a NASA or Air Force centrifuge training room during the 1950's or 1960's. A pilot is in the spinning centrifuge and his face is being pulled back by the force, but he keeps asking for more g's.

"More! More!"

Then it shows him holding a bottle of A1 steak sauce in one hand and a piece of steak on a fork in the other, and then a small drop of sauce slowly gets pulled out of the almost empty bottle.

I thought it was hilarious... but you have to see it for yourself.  :lol:

That commercial has been shown in the US for probably a couple months now.  It is pretty funny.  I was under the impression that the guy in the centrifuge is like a janitor or something. :lol:

I've only seen it the one time. I tried to find a link on the web for it but the only one I could find was a pay site.

I didn't notice that the guy was a janitor... that makes it even funnier!  :)

I have to see it again to be sure, but I seem to recall that the guy operating the controls is holding a broom.  My impression is that it's just two janitors on the night shift using the centrifuge to extract that last drop of A1 sauce. :D
