  1. Yes, it may be on the Panther platform, it’s rear-wheel-drive, and it isn’t as modern as the front-wheel-drive GM full-size C-bodies, but this was a great dig from #Lincoln as it sold its Town Car for 1986. And it worked.

  2. Weird #TVC for Uber here with the line, 'You do the math.' I guess it is a US company but it sounds so odd. Next thing youʼll hear 'Go figure,' and 'I donʼt have issues with that.'

  3. Just saw an ad from the Irish electoral commission in Gaelic. What a lovely language. #TVC #Éire

  4. Good ad for the Alzheimerʼs Society. It does take all of us to combat it and to help those affected. #TV #ITV1 #TVC

  5. That new #Toyota commercial seems to be saying: 'Toyota. Cars for conformists.' And Dave Dobbyn. #TVC

  6. I hope Don Black, and the estates of John Barry and Matt Monro, are making a decent amount from those 'Born Free' insurance commercials. Theyʼre on often enough.
    Still donʼt know who theyʼre for after all these years. I only know the company is one of those that succeeded AA Mutual. #TVC

  7. We're catching up with Gruen while editing photos and THIS popped up. OMG.

    For those folks outside of Australia, Gruen is a comedy TV show that analyses TV ads and the thinking behind them. Each episode they give a couple of agencies $10,000 to make an advert for silly topics. This week, it was "Convince Aussies to Play Chess".

    And that led to a little bit of magic :)

  8. The first ad was interesting, but now I no longer care about that kid who went to Scotland to find his birth family. #OneNZ #TVC #NZ #Aotearoa

  9. That Klaviyo ad, a tribute to Ridley Scottʼs 1984 for Apple, does come across as Scott lite. But probably on a fraction of the budget adjusted for 2025 dollars. Interesting idea. #TVC

  10. Is the Skinny “AI” commercial the 2025 equivalent of Max Headroom? #TV #TVC

  11. I was in Hungary last week and with the help of @iszell (Thanks man!) picked up this original "Demonstrációs kazetta" (Demonstration tape) for the Videoton TVC. Although I don't even have a tape player for it yet. 😅 But at 5 EUR, I couldn't let it pass.

    The inner side of the paper label was stamped to indicate it was in the inventory of an elementary school in the town of Nagykőrös. For a partial translation of the label, see the Alt text.

  12. My friend Ian and his partner Jules treated me to a nice meal when I was in London (fish and chips, natch). Our waitress was called Kate.
    Later, Ian asked, ‘Was it Kate or Katie?’
    I said, ‘It was Kate. She doesn’t look like that girl from the Oxo commercials.’
    We all got the joke but I suspect we are all now officially old.
    I could say, ‘Boost if you get it,’ but I doubt anyone will …

  13. I picked up a couple more Videoton TVC goodies at @revisionparty. Thanks to @iszell who brought these for me all the way from Hungary 🇭🇺 .

    An Amiga PowerShark-style USB-C Power Supply, to replace the bulky original brick that runs infamously hot, and a dual Floppy Disk Drive with matching controller card!

    Probably I'm somewhat biased, but it's pretty cool that things like these even exist for such a niche computer.

  14. I'm fairly sure I'm the first person to ever test a Videoton TVC with a RetroTink 4K... Well, it works. Not so much of a surprise, as it worked quite well with the RT5XPro already. But anyway, here we go.

  15. Booster 7 and 9 have several significant differences, starting with the changeover from Raptor 2 to Raptor 2.1, which uses electric #TVC (Thrust Vector Control). A possible reason why #SpaceX has an issue with #methane leakage compared to other #rockets could be the high #pressure that #Raptor operates at in its Methane turbopumps, hot gas manifold, and the Main Combustion Chamber (MCC). One of the most obvious changes to Booster 9 was the addition of a hot stage vent ring on the top that will allow SpaceX to fire 🔥 the ship’s engines while still attached to the booster. nasaspaceflight.com/2023/09/st

  16. I can say that #Pdramas (Pilipino #TV dramas/series) are finally getting better.

    For decades (since the 80s? 70s?), it got stuck with melodramas, endless revenge, mistresses, and more endless revenge, plots.

    There are still a lot to change in the industry, for example, the strict hold/trap the big TV networks have on which shows, production companies, and talents, are aired here and there. But, signs that they are loosening their grip are starting to show.

    However, there is one thing that we all want to definitely change, the sooner, the better, 15 to 20-minute worth of #TVC (TV commercials) for a supposed 30 to 40-minute episode.

    If they air foreign shows in the #Philippines, they will insert that much of TVCs, for example, a single #Kdrama episodes turns into 2 to 3 episodes locally. LOL.

    More has to be done, but our efforts are not going to waste. Slow, but things are improving. ^_^
