What's your favorite TdF commercial?

[badgercat]

Since I hadn't seen any of them but just had to go searching for them on YouTube... figured I'd post them here for others like me who don't have TV

Lance "LOL"
Alphonse on the trainer--French babies and soft cheeses
Contador and Schleck trash-talking

[Catrin]

I no longer have access to Versus...sigh. I downgraded my television package to aid my budget and I wish I could have it back for 2 weeks! Realistically though I wouldn't have much time to watch it anyway...so I will just have to live vicariously through this thread and internet videos.

I did see the one with Alphonse on Lances bike in his office - not too many commercials make me laugh like that The trash-talking commercial is great too...

I know they get paid a lot of money to do those commercials, but it is a lot of fun to see them taking themselves less...seriously

I haven't seen the Contador/Schleck commercial but we dvr the Tour and ff through most of the commercials too. I like the Nike "Just Do It" commercial showing Lance on a climb as you hear the voices of people talking about exercising. I'm gone to training this week and they don't have Versus on the hotel tv....DARN IT!

+1 on this...so inspirational...makes me think of all the cancer survivors I know who have refused to let their diagnosis ruin their lives.

Awwww, I just watched a rerun of the podium moment where Mark Cavendish cries...those eyelashes!!

Another "what commercials, I use the DVR" person here. Take 3 hours of coverage and shorten it by 40%. Amazing.

I like the RadioShack ones. I think it's because I totally agree with the little rules he has.

I'm waiting for them to make one about talking on the phone while in a public restroom. Really, where is it??

Road ID when Bob Roll is on a roll...

...helmet, bazooka, road ID...

...I even wear it to bed in case an irate motorist follows me home...

I wasn't all that fond of the Radio Shack commercials until the "use our inside voices".

[ny biker]

What I want to know is, who the hell is Evan Longoria????

BTW I know the first Radio Shack commercial (no emoticons) was directed by Chris Guest (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, "This one goes to eleven"). Not sure about the others. I like the raising babies and throwing soft cheeses one.

Thanks for the links, badgercat. Now I'm sitting here at work - watching these commercials and I can't stop laughing. There are also other Radio Shack commercials on the right hand side of the page (Voicemail, Microphone, etc.) and they're just as good as LOL.

I like the RS one where Lance tells Alphonse that people should use inside voice while talking on the phone.

Andy and Alberto trash talking is funny too.

Oh, man...
Can you imagine the Tour de France becoming another Super Bowl of commercials?? Folks tune in to watch (and chat about) the commercials!
And, oh yeah...to watch the sport, too.

[azfiddle]

It's somehow good to know that I'm not the only one who has enjoyed those commercials

[XMcShiftersonX]

I, too, love the Radio Shack commercials, pretty much all of them are hilarious! I also like the Lance/Leaf commercial... more for the fact that I'm excited about that car coming out, but it was a pretty ingenious spin on it as well!
