Dichio Ontario Power Pledge Commercial

[colman1860]

I'm sure everyone has seen Dichio's commercial for Ontario Power Pledge with Brad Duguid. I love Danny like the next guy, but I'd say we can all agree that the commercial is scripted and acted out so badly (by both guys) that it's more comical than anything. Can anyone find it online? I need some lulz after yesterday's game...

Funny part is that they actually went with the take where Duguid verbally trips up.
Makes you wonder how bad some of the other takes were. :shocked:

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

I watch that and wonder how many takes did it take to get it as "natural" as that?

I love that commercial strictly because Danny's such a terrible actor you can almost imagine him sitting there going "How about i just give the audience what they want and kick you in the teeth?"

Is that the one they played during the bagpipes? I thought that was a bit disrespectful to the pipers. Couldn't they have played it before or after?

it should be replaced with Pookie's excellent Thierry Henry vs Dan Gargan shortfilms

This thread makes me proud to be from Ontario /deadpan

Poor Danny, from having to bounce a ball on his head while answering questions from Landsberg to that

not bad, but its no Snakes on a Plane or Army of Darkness

I love the fact that Danny Dichio cashed a cheque from the Ontario government. Hopefully TFC made an extra hundred bucks by charging Duguid for the jersey.

And no TFC athletic commercial compares to Robbie Alomar doing McCain Fruit Punch.

CATCH DA TASTE!!!!!

[Terry]

Possibly the funniest commercial of all time.

[Phil]

This gets some serious consideration as worst ever...

"I cant seem to juggle with these shoes"
"well, could you juggle before?"
"No..."

GOLDEN!

[Batman]

Danny should sue the writer, the director, Duguid, and whoever at TFC decided he should go before a camera.

Duguid should be way better than he shows, just based upon his profession. (Aren't politicians actors?)


Anyway, it may be one of the ALL TIME worst commercials ever recorded.

I feel for Danny. He is no actor, and I expect he now knows it.

I thought it was a mega juggling act. I need to watch again.

but yes, it is one of the worst ever.

The Ricketts one is also bad. if he has thoughts of getting into acting/showbiz, he really needs to improve.

Thankfully I don't think Danny has any pretensions of grandeur or future career aspirations in that world.

[Heart of Stone]

Duguid is a do-gooder .... likes to kiss ass ... always has, always will... typical OLP...

Note to the director: When wanting two people to have the appearance of having a conversation with one another, do not have them look directly into the lens of the camera...i.e. away from each other.

Like....fuck....
