Each television network has different commercials that fit their audience. Cartoon Network features toys, Turner Classic Movies has a lot of AARP commercials and Spike TV has more Axe deodorant ads than necessary. Depending on specific the ads get, you can sometimes guess what channel you’re watching based on who the commercials target.
Tonight I’ve been watching NCIS reruns on Ion Television and in between seeing if Ari is going to kill Kate again (spoilers: he does!) I’ve been watching commercials for their weekend airing of Die Hard with a Vengeance. Instead of focusing on explosions or crimes it talks about how the two main characters are best friends and features John McClane’s famous catchphrase.
Well, not quite. In this ad, he says “Yippie-kai-yay, my friend!”
Apparently in this version of the movie, John and his best friend hang out in New York City for some sort of international tea party with their German buddies. It tickles me every time!
