Title: Those two wonderful Capital One TV ads
Bob Gutowski - June 23, 2008 06:56 PM (GMT)
If this is a repeat I'm sorry, but I'm still enjoying the two Capital One ads, one set in a very Frankensteinian lab, the other aboard a Star Wars Empire-like ship. The acting in both (apparently done by British actors) is excellent, and the effects in the Lucas spoof are drool-inducing.
I especially like the Emperor's second-in-command, big, bald and bad (and not a little fey), and his quick recovery after he accidentally destroys a space station - "Oops!" - as well as his request for clarification as to the image the Emperor requests on his credit card -"WAR kittens?"

There was also one featuring a Bondian super-villain, monologue-ing his Capital One card design option to an Emma Peel-esque she-spy, tied-up nearby in his secret lair. However, I haven't seen it for several months; it doesn't seem to be in the constant rotation that the two other ads have been in, lately.

Thanks for responding, Pete. I was beginning to feel as though I'd posted the chat board equivalent of a fart!
I think the level of craft in the two ads I noted is very high, and I love the acting of the huge but slightly girlish second-in command in the STAR WARS spoof. Watch his fingers and his slightly pursed lips after he mistakenly obliterates that space station. Priceless.
WAR KITTENS?

No sweat, Bob. And since your links reminded me that we live in the Age of YouTube, here's that other clip I was referring to:

Oh, God, yes! Love the Aryan Nation technicians. Thanks.
