ahh yes the origional viking commercials. nowadays, they're all the stupid "modern" vikings that sip lattes and tromp about in shopping centers all clumsy like. it's been a long time since the origional viking ads even came about. people are gonna start forgetting what it was even all about.
Visigoth was a tribe originating in Gotland (duh). A viking is a person who goes exploring, trading, raiding. They're not the same. Jihadists and Carthaginians came from the same region but they're not the same right?
@SinnFein4ever I agree, though I still think they come up with a good caveman one once in a while (bowling one). The new Capital One commercials are also great stuff. Love the Grand Canyon one with Ogre. Funny to think they started from this one.
Although one ad-campaign that I found obnoxious right off of the bat, was a car company's "Mr. Opportunity".
It has a cartoon man "in" a real-life car-dealership, walking around and talking to real people.
It begins with him making a sound like knocking on glass, and then he seems to be looking right through the screen, and he says "Hi. I'm Mr. Opportunity. And I'm knocking". And it ends with him doing the same thing in reverse.
@SinnFein4ever I think they have a radio spot for that commercial as well. I think most of us will agree that anything beats the heck out of the drug commercials with all the side effects, and less we forget, the erectile disfunction commercials right in the middle of the monring news on cable.
@SinnFein4ever She's the actress who does those Boniva drug commercials. In it she says Boniva can help where calcium and vitamin D can't. To me that's selling out. I am sure she's getting a giant check each time it airs.
WHITES WERE and still are the stupides craziest dumbest and really gay lazy ugly dirty filthy and nasty drug addicts, brothers we aren't drug addicts at all we're the future like asians are, fuck whites, brothers we have to send drugs to north america and europe, whites u all know that you love our drugs it's good for your brains hahaha stupid addicts , hey dumbs buy our drugs we can take ur money while we destroy ur lives and heatlh lol
Hm, the UK version was dubbed (to think they used British actors in our version, bah!); the brit version had one of the raiders asking "what's in your wallet?" in a somerset accent which made it funnier.
My information says that this TVC was filmed on a private estate near Maynooth, in Co. Kildare. So the majority of the "Visigoths" were actually Irish... However, I have no idea if the two major roles were played by English or American actors.
Both Visigoths and Ostrogoths originally 2500 years ago came from Scandinavia later they settled down in what is now Poland and yet later they moved around in Europe fighting the Roman Empire and finally they settled down in todays Spain. They are extinct or assimilated.
actually the question shoulg be "are you lacking in education" Goths were Germanic tribes originally. By the 4th cent. the Visigoths were at the borders of the East Roman Empire, raiding across the Danube River, and peacefully infiltrating the trans-Danubian provinces. Constantine ...
@KASivaro Ermanaric was the las king of whole goths, they divided Visigoths/Thervingi and Ostrogoths/Greuthungs. After Adrianopolis Alaric sacked Roma (410) and they migrated to Iberian Peninsula (Spain) were they settled and created the visigoth kingdom about 3 centuries until (720). Ostrogoths settled in Italia, same culture and language, the scision was for a conflic between baltingos and amalingos families... There is a great educational problem in US
@LazyBoy9476 visigoth were originally from sweden, ultimatelly they lost france territory and conquest suebi and alans territories on spain. they ruled Spain from 410 to 712, and actuals kingdom of spain (castile, leon, aragon and navarre) were founded by visigothic resistance to islamic invasor.
@iSPaLiTo i am not entirely sure that this is the case. Germanic origin seems to be it. history of visigoths is very interesting and first mention is when they went for Rome.
@LazyBoy9476 yes, they plundered Rome at 410 and then they settled at Septimania and Iberian Peninsula, the Franks pushed visigoths to south, visigoth take possesion of Hispania (province of rome) as Foederati and the visigoth king called himself King of Spain, for Rome they was only Regnun Visigothorum
@iSPaLiTo The first mention of goths were incursions at 251 ac. Athanerik was the first king of all goths, before 300 ac. After Ermanaric (350 - 375) goths divided in visigoths and ostrogoths, Fritigern defeated romans at the Battle of Adrianople (378) From then everything is of surplus acquaintance
visigoths and ostrogoths, or goths in general; vikings ; teutones; anglos; saxons; jutes;- the are all basically from the same ethnicity that is germanic. my ancestry is visigothic and my last name means man in gothic.
I remember this one. There was another one slightly different with the same result. The cardholder pulls out his Capital One, and the pursuers stop cold in their tracks, express total disappointment and go back where they came from. Too funny that a simple piece of plastic has enough power to stop weapon wielding tough men from days of yore...LOL.
Magnificent. The only one I like better than this is the other commercial where they raid the mall, topple the giant xmas tree and rush Santa Claus! Please post if you got it

do you know that in early ages of the muslim rule in iberia the visigoths had to pay tribute to the moors-100 virgins for year:)can anyone tell this is true
Actually, the vikings and the Goth's came from the same people. There was, and still are, people in Sweden called Götar. Out of the word Götar came gotar, which later turned into goths. They travelled both west and east, and the ones who travelled to the west was called visigoths, and the ones travelling to the east was called Ostrogoter, both developing from Old norse's väst and öst.
What's not very funny is one of the senior management of this company (as reported yesterday at InnerCityPress dot Com) is being considered for the Fed.

It's about as pleasant as hearing nails run down a chalkboard.
And him looking like he's sticking his face inches from yours, is not pleasent either.
