**Sorry, couldn't find the right translation for this kind of insurance but I think you will understand.

Song played: 80's discohit, You can win if you want, by Modern Talking

 

Evening CJ:

I think the American terms for that type of insurance would be "Temporary Disability" or "Permanent Disability".

Given that the white boy homies invaded the land of the hood, I would assume they would want some sort of "Terminal Disability" insurance.

Thanks for the link, it was a really good commercial. May I assume it was made somewhere in the US? They did not show the number plates on the vehicles but the Escort could have been a European version and I know a lot of Cadillacs have been exported to Holland/Germany.

Thanks Bill,

I think it was made in the US.

Here is one from another insurance company Achmea.
Their slogan is: No matter how deep sh*t you're in, just call Apeldoorn and they will take care of it.

HeJ CJ:

First it is a given that I do not understand Dutch that well but I do get a sense of the language.



It is obvious that your commercials are a lot more fun than those we have in the US. A really great sense of humour you Dutch have.

On the second link, I really liked #'s 26, 28 and 31.

I have bookmarked that site and if you have more you can pass on I would appreciate it. Really an entertaining 40 minutes or so.

Actually, these are the best of 2003.
You can vote one here for the Golden Loekie Award.
Commercials like the first 2 I posted are great, there is a lot of crap out there too.

Yeah #28 is great too.
The guy hanging there is Ralph Inbar, the guy who is presenting Candid Camera (It's called Banana Split here)
At first, the 2 boys want to help him, then they notice that it's the guy from Candid Camera and they just leave him hanging there.

#4 commercial about letter shaped vermicelli

the father is really enthousiatic about this Italian tomatoe soup with Courgettes.
It smells like ehh.. it smells like.....

Then the little kid reads the word in his soup made up by the vermicelli (translation ?) and says :sjit

Bill, do commercials in the us play louder on the tv too.
You always have to turn down the volume a bit here.
The level is a bit louder when commercials are playing.
Very annoying and people have made complaints about it.
It's not that more decibels are involved but they did something to the audio, they used compressor techniques or something.
Anyway, very annoying.
