US Marines TV Recruitment Spot

[basceman]

you know how many illegal moves that knight made?

[WarningVolatile]

@basceman he said fuck the rules.lol

[psionicman]

this is slightly different from real life: in real life, the marines side would be knights on top of diesel-powered rooks, and the other side would be nothing but pawns, some of which were just trying to go to the market to buy fruit

[BigFreeze83]

Fuckin hilarious comment, man!

[ONEXYSTON]

haha such a corny commercial but i still joined, SEMPER!

If you like the music in this video, you may like "O Fortuna". Search for it here. Maybe even try Nightwish while they had Tarja as a singer... but it's a stretch.

i heard that this song was taken from Carmina Burana carl orff, but I downloaded all of the songs from that performance and couldn't hear this melody in any of the songs... ehh. Do you know what the exact name is?

[NC360]

As far as I know, this melody was created specifically for this Marine commercial. I was just pointing that the "epic feeling" of this music can be found in other music.

[downtowncowtown]

i agree with it being the greatest commercial of all time - so great ppl like you & I would hunt it down after 30 or so years to find it lol L O V E

[Californiasoul05]

i remember seeing this on TV, one of the best commercials of all time

[StubbleJoe]

Holy hell that kicked ass! :P

[drumm1019]

i remember seeing this comercial when i was like 6 and thinking "holy s*** thats awesome", my dad was stationed in Ft. Hood and i asked him about "the Marines" (himself being Army) he said they were the best, 13 years later i'm wondering why my suit of armor is tan colored instead of a sword i've got a 240G and none of the enemy come out into the open like on the chess board in a little country staring with "I" LOL.

[seabrain]

Wait... you mean this wasnt a commercial about chess? :P

[thepianist25]

i loved this commercial growing up it inspired me to write a story about knights kings and gods

[falcon2722]

loved this commercial when i was a kid!!! probably had a little to do with my enlistment :)

[tripledoublecheck]

Good commercial. Anyone know who this music is by?

[katethegreat19]

Yeah, I wanna know what this music is too.... In fact I've wanted to know since I was seven!

[drew081682]

me too!

[wirelessoptical]

The music was made specifically for the commercial. I saw a discussion ona forum dedicated to commericals- apparently some guy got in contact with the marines Ad agency, and they told him this.
