One of my Favorite Commercials...

I usually rant against commercials but there is one commercial out there that no matter how many times I see it I laugh. And it is from an unlikely source...Time Warner. It is the commercial where this stocky guy is sitting at his computer and apparently he locks up. He begins yelling at his monitor "MOOOOVVVE". Apparently to know avail. He then begins banging his mouse on the next yelling "GOOOOOO". Still nothing.

His facial expressions so crack me up...it looks like something I'd do too. He's slamming around, yelling at the monitor, smashing the mouse. The music, some opera music I can't remember off the top of my head, reaches a climax with a shrill high note and, as it hits, he opens his mouth as though he is screaming. That does it for me...it is funny. I mean, I probably have seen that commercial 40-50 times and I laugh every single time. It is funny. Next time I lock up, I'm going to play an opera song here at work and recreate the entire event...and probably be escorted from the buidling shortly thereafter.
