10/5/2007 - Great Dutch commercials

SilverWind has written another entry about a commercial again, so I decided it was time for me to do the same. This time around I'm going to describe my favorite commercials, which are part of a long tradition of really funny stuff from insurance company Centraal Beheer. At the end they always show the punchline "Even Apeldoorn bellen", which means "Time to call to Apeldoorn", the city where Centraal Beheer have their HQ.

1- Two English men are driving to the airport, loudly singing a pop song about Rio the Janeiro ("When my baby", etc. - I forgot the title). Due to their lack of concentration they fail to spot a truck until the very last moment. They just manage to swerve out of harm's way, right into a jeweller's store. Knowing that many successful bank robbers, etc., have fled to Brazil with their loot, it's only to clear that they're in deep trouble when the police find their tickets to Rio.

2- A family of two chubby parents, and two chubby children are at a drive-thru zoo. A lioness puts her front paws on the hood. They drive home loudly singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", but they failed to notice that when the lioness leaned on their car, a lion climbed on top of their car, and now their locked inside their garage with the lion.

3- A Dutch tourist is getting acupuncture someplace in Southeast Asia. Suddenly fire breaks out in the building, and the only way out is thru the window, with firemen ready to catch jumpers. There you stand, looking 20 ft. down with about 200 needles in your body.

4- Two Finnish paramedics are driving around rural Finland with a patient. The patient suffers a heart attack, the monitor starts beeping, and one paramedic revives him with electric shocks. Back at the office, their supervisor comes in, and hands them the keys to the new state-of-the-art ambulance. They play with all the new gizmos and gadgets on board, until they have to respond to a call. A Dutch tourist fell of his bicycle and broke a leg. He's loaded into the Ambulance and rushed to the hospital. Then the navigation device starts beeping... Guess what happens next.

5- A man is cleaning in the sea aquarium pavillion. He accidentally touches the glass with the tip of his broom. Suddenly the glass starts showing ever growing cracks, and a that exact moment a Jaws-size sharks starts swimming in his direction.

I'm sure that in the next few days I will remember more commercials from this series.

You are Sandusky, OH

Loser!
You are boring, have no sense of adventure, no sense of humor, you have no friends, in fact you're no good to this world. You are definitely Sandusky, OH!
