Author Topic: What the hell did Maxwell (the Pig) say? Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-08-2012 07:38 PM                        Of all the Geico commericals in their campaign that uses a Rod Sterling type asking a very serious question followed up with a very hilarious hook video, the one I would run from whatever room I was in to see it -- I thought it was rolling on the floor funny -- was the "Do little pig really say 'Wee wee wee all the way home?" spot. I just LOVED Maxwell the pig with his head out the window screaming WEEEEEEE! WEEE WEEEEEEEE! And the frustrated mom and her son enduring this...all the way home. It just tickled me no end. And evidently so did a lot of other people because they have a follow up spot featuring Maxwell Pig on a ski-lift. Problem is, WHAT DOES HE SAY? He passes another befuddled guy on the lift and says something to him that I cannot understand, even playing it back a few times. Anyone figure out what he says? Sometimes your brain just get's stuck on a line and can't break out of that mindset. Then someone says about the Rolling Stones line -- "No idiot; it's not 'I wanna be your pizza burning...' it's 'I wanna be your beast of burden." And you say, "Oh.." and and you can't understand for the life of you how come you couldn't hear that, because once someone tells you, it is perfectly audible. Remember the bubble gum song Beach Baby? In the car my best buddy shouts at me as I am singing along, "No, stupid; it's not 'Lucy Haze,' it's 'cool sea haze'" "Oh...." Some one enlighten me as to what the little piggy says in this Geico commercial.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-08-2012 08:00 PM                        I saw this commercial earlier today. Going solely by memory he said something to the effect of it being all about the adrenaline. It gets to ya (or something like that). Then he says WEEEE again. Of course I was laughing on the floor for a good 3 hours after that. This is unusual as IF I actually watch TV I usually mute all of the commercials habitually. Also, are you sure that's a version of Rod Serling? I thought it was a lung-cancer-damaged version of Pierce Brosnan.  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-08-2012 09:23 PM                     Remember the song "Phoney Baloney"? Or was it "Only the Lonely"?  |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 01-08-2012 09:28 PM                     I believe it's "Beer... Adrenaline..." then lots more "wheee".  |  IP: Logged Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 01-09-2012 02:55 AM                     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TlNOwwQQJk It sounds to me like he says "Pure . . . adrenaline." Then he snorts/laughs and takes off. Maybe if you're watching it on TV you can just turn on the closed captioning.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-10-2012 10:59 PM                     Tom has it right, first word is "Pure". Like Jim, I first thought he was saying "Beer."  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-11-2012 12:30 AM                     "Pure... adrenaline!
