Arnie: Are you ready for some footy?

Who saw the Origin TV advert with Arnie Schwarzenegger? 8)

It's been running for a week or so and I've seen it a few times.

I really don't see the point of getting Arnie to promote SOO.

I think it's a dumb ad. More league, less Arnie please.

Really? Compared to you El, I watch very little TV but I find it hard to believe that ad has been running for a week or so.

I thought it was great and Arnie would have come cheap for the few words he spoke.

I've seen it for about a week I think.

Ok.. ok.. I missed the bloody boat on this one. Shame on you all for not making a post before now. ;-)

I still reckon it's a good advert.

Im with you Willow, I think its a top ad.

 

[Z]

Haven't seen it yet . :evil:

 

[Justme]

I got a good chuckle out of it and thinks it's pretty good.

It's alright, nothing special. Though I like how he tries to say 'Lockyer and Webcke'. :lol:

I haven't seen it but did read over at the WORL boards that the ad is an edited/re-done version of an add that the NFL had Arnie do for Monday Night Football last season.

Below's what fortae wrote when another poster asked: Was that really made by him, or not??:

To answer your question yes but it was made for ABC sports in the U.S. which is why it ends awkwardly with 'Are you ready for some football?' - the tagline for Monday Night Football. All they did was supplant the footage of NFL players with SOO players and get Schwarzenegger to do some voice-over work.

I haven't seen it down in Victoria. As usual the frontier states are snubbed again.

The NFL thing sounds plausible, though I never saw that one.
