Legolas in a Loriel advertisment? That's not, um, the one when they make odd noises, is it? o_0

What about Galadriel in a light bulb advert? "You can have your rooms shine like me, without all that hassle of tempation from the one Ring! And if you call now, you can get that green glow FREE!" Now, that's just strange...

But not as strange as Elrond in a Rogaine commerical! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The Fifth 07-29-2002 07:34 PM

Bain, that IS funny! http://www.i-love-dogs.com/dog/plati...icon_happy.bmp Bwaha! Ha! Ha!

Why were the orcs in the refrigerator in the first place?

"Last night I killed an orc in my pajamas. How the orc got into my pajamas I'll never know."

Couldn't resist...

NazgulNumberTen 07-29-2002 07:49 PM

Telchar 08-08-2002 04:53 AM

Gandalf to Saruman:
Quote:

Saruman, Saruman' Gandalf stopped and looked at the menu. 'Saruman, you missed your path in life. You should have been Ronald McDonald, and earned you burgers and fries too, by mimicking the milkshake guy.

Wandering but not lost 08-08-2002 04:23 PM

so not an advert but i think that the ringwraiths should get jobs as models. that 'wasted away' look is sooooo in [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Robin Headstrong 08-12-2002 04:15 PM

Merry and Pippin in one of those coms (I think it was Budweiser) where everyone picks up a phone and goes "WHAASSAAAAAAAAAAP!?!?" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Merri 08-12-2002 05:16 PM

Merry and Pippin in that commercial where two kids jump in the car screaming, "We're going to the water park, we're going to the water park!", see their school books, and scream "NOooooooo!!" In an agonizing tone of voice. Then the camera zooms out and you see one of them pressing his face against the window. I think it's an Office Max advertisement.

Any of the hobbits in a car commercial where they have the kids in the back seat screaming, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" With Gandalf and Aragorn as the parents. Argorn and Arwen as parents would also work.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Gulp.

Yay! I'm a pile o' bones now!! *dances around for joy*

Sam doing an advert for "Galadriel's Miracle Gro" (ala the little box of dirt she gave him......) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Quote:

"For you, little gardener and lover of trees," she said to Sam, "I have only a small gift." She put into his hand a little box of plain grey wood, unadorned save for a single silver rune upon the lid. "In this box there is earth from my orchard. If you keep it and see your home again at last, then perhaps it may reward you. Though you should find all barren and laid waste, there will be few gardens in Middle Earth that will bloom like your garden, if you sprinkle this earth there. "

vanwalossien 08-13-2002 08:13 AM

I know Orlando has done a Gap commercial, but picture Legolas doing the same! Leather trousers and matching green tunic, now only $25!
OK, maybe it wasn't all that funny... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Morima 08-15-2002 09:06 AM

Arwen in a dyper commercial.

Telchar: Yours was funny!

Vanwalossien: Cool Nemi-pic! You're norwegian or something? The Nemi drawer Lise is.

Kaszul 08-15-2002 09:26 AM

This is so like the dwarf one, but one day while eating powerdsugar mini dougnuts I discoverd there was no milk in the house. My mind instantly flew to the got milk comercials. Then i began to think of how dougnuts are ring shaped.......................hmmmmmm

Picture the ring being destroyed, and the eye of Sauron going wide in suprise. Then cut to the black screen with the words, "Got Ring?"

Well, it was funny at the time!

Samwise 08-15-2002 02:59 PM

LOL, Kaszul! It made me chuckle! "Got ring..." http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon6.gif http://forum.barrowdowns.com/ubb/icons/icon5.gif

Out of the shadows a ladder was let down. Legolas ran lightly up, and Frodo followed slowly; behind came Sam, trying not to breathe loudly.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 08-28-2002 02:26 PM

Sauron just has to advertise for Vision Express.
And what is also clear is Eowyn for those really corny coffee adverts.

"Nescafe is SO great, and it's sure to get me a mannn! *flutters eyelashes*

Look, I didn't make up that concept so don't kill me!

Galadrie1 08-28-2002 02:52 PM

Merry, Pippin and Aragorn in that Motrin commercial:
Pippin is in the back seat of a car (in traffic) screaming "This is the song that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friends..." Aragorn is driving and holding his head. An announcer says "There's pain..." Suddenly, Merry pops up and starts screaming along with Pippin: "Some people started singin' it not knowin' what it was! And they'll continue singin' it forever just because.." Aragorn groans. Announcer: "And then there's Motrin pain."

(Gosh, I hate that commercial. It's soooo annoying... it makes me want to go take a Tylenol.. not a Motrin!)

At least four (4) Ringwraiths needed for a fashion show...

the latest fashion sweeping this summer: Tattered, dusty, ripped, old black robes!!!

Will pay all who join a wealthy sum of money. You must also receive permission from the Dark Lord before you can join. NO halflings and elves allowed. Trolls are not allowed unless they are wearing a leash. Watch out for man named Strider.

((Yes, I know, this is a lame attempt for a joke. It's an advertisment about Ringwraiths in a fashion show.))
