Smell the Nike courage commercial!

Posted on August 28th, 2008 by Jim

Seen any decent commercials lately? Check out ‘I got soul but I’m not a soldier’ as featured in the Nike advert being aired in the UK right now.

A few familiar faces and any bit appeal to you in particular? Apart from the flower at the start, of course.

Do tell!

    Bit fed up see, I am. That’s life though right innit? Sometimes, like, you feel so great, an then you just get knocked down like, an you don’t not av to av done nuthin, part from like just bein there.

    Well anyway, got a bit fed up an that I did, bin lookin at my expenses see, it’s not that I don’t not want to share my stuff, just don’t like feelin as if I’m bein taken advantage ov I don’t……

    Whatever….. what else is an old, fat, stupid, rich, poof for?

    See its not that I can’t not afford nuthink, just sometimes like, people say thinks, then do other thinks, an sometimes the thinks they say don’t seem to match in like the slightest right, bout wot it is wot they av said before.

    Not ere lookin for sympathy, Just tellin you all ow I feel I am, that’s all. Fed up ov bein a doormat, not goin to be one no more…….

    I’m off to listen to Tony Christie (he’s an old mate) “In the avenues an alleyways!” – always cheers me up that does!

    Don’t know it? Suggest youz googles it then! (feels like I’m one ov them Avengers now see!)

      Soz evryone, don’t like to like misleads youz lot, see, I knowz ow youz ang on me evry word an all I does, but like, I meants, “Protectors”! not “Avengers!”

        The Protectors used to be on tv when i was a kid, sunday lunchtmes right after Farmer’s Diary. Then there was The Champions, The Adventurer, The Persuaders - the golden era of tv.

        Soz to here you’re feeling under the weather. Why don’t you order a personalised photo jigsaw with a picture of david on it - that would cheer you up!

    • Bridget Jones says:

      That’s what usually happens when you surround yourself with gold diggers EJ.. your gold get dug ha! ;)

      Drop the wig and leave the space shuttle your David built you at home, hit the road in an average-bloke disguise, and who still pays you attention then would be worth keeping.

      Or.. are you just stingy actually? :-P

    Just watched the video - funny how wayne rooney was followed by a punch & judy puppet - social comment by Nike? and the guy from the telephone directory service 11 (whatever - the 2 guys in running vests with moustaches) was in there as well.

    Brilliant, I wondered how long it would be before that song was used in a commercial, its wicked. Innit.

    I have a real soft spot for elite smarty pants falling flat on their collective faces… hehehhehhe…
    I think it has something to do with the Tall Poppy syndrome… lol..
    My fav part on the clip would have to have been the bull getting his own back on the Bull fighter… theres is something to be said for a little horn in the rear…

    oh that wasnt very nice…. hehehehe… ;)

  5. I really loved this commercial especially the song with the clips. I watched it three times to see if my memory could get jogged a bit more, but alas aging is happening in the brain!! Along with not being awake, I haven’t finished my first cup of coffee. The third time I started feeling like I was watching Koyaanisqatsi which was released in 1982. Nike really has some of the most enjoyable ad campaigns to me…and I’m not into sports.

    So, who did I recognize (after giving myself and anxiety attack)? Mary Lou Retton, Lance Armstrong, John MacEnroe, Arthur Ashe, LeBron James, Maria Sharapova, Carl Lewis, Kobe Bryant, Mary Decker Slaney, Micheal Jordon and Magic Johnson.
