The Gateway's Best Commercials/Jingles

A

Antares Administration

SOC-12
In another thread here, I was describing the merits of a particularly good brand of SDB built in the Ley Sector. One of its features was an oversize powerplant, for which I threw in the plant manufacturer's jingle, "Fighting your way out of a Gravity Well? No problem with Makhudire!"

Imagine a media campaign featuring a grimy, hard working bunch of spacehands stuck in low orbit and trying to intecept a corsair making a run for a jump point....

I'd be interested in getting a few more ideas for ads/commercials/posters and such to use as filler for campaigning in the Domain of Gateway.

Any takers?

I didn't invent the product, nor did the lady who made this phrase. Its fer Havacola (tm):

"I Havacola! Do You?"

--EaK, on Lonestar Chat/Msn.Chat this past weekend.
We agreed (CPT BL, Me, Kentares, Mink, ELLros, Chron, Dr Skull) she should contribute it to the ADvert campaign.
 
"We know your a hard working spacer, but some times you just can't find that little something you need to keep you going in the local Spacer Pub or Commisary?
Looking for Those Solomani Nachos? Or Vargyr Barbeque?
Need that part for your Hydrogen filter?
Then come on down to The Starbase Quik-Stop. We provide fast, courtious service with access to all the little odds and ends that we know you spacer need.

Starport, We're Everywhere."

Scene - a generic disaster scene. A rescue team is pulling an injured civilian out from under a pile of rubble.

A Virushi paramedic in SuSAG livery opens his medkit, revealing several packages of meds and some diagnostic equipment, all displaying the SuSAG logo. The paramedic begins treatment as the camera pans over the concerned faces of the rescue team members.

The poignant scene ends with the patient regaining consciousness and smiling up at the Virushi.

Voice-over: "Schunamann und Sohn - for life."

Scene:

A group of mindless thugs harrassing a lovely young lady, chasing her with weapons blazing. Suddenly a man in Imperial Battledress lands between them and proceeds to teach the thugs the error of their ways. The soldier goes to the woman and stands over her. As she looks fearfully the armor opens and a handsome man steps out, clad in an Imperial Marine dress uniform bearing the rank of Colonel and medals out to here. The woman smiles and takes his hand, suddenly cleaned and in a gown. They step through glass doors immediately to their right into a fabulous lounge and restaraunt.

Voiceover : "Your local Traveller's Aid Society. For those who know the difference between dressing for battle, and dressing for dinner."

I like it! For the discriminating Traveller!

Actually, this could be a theme for a whole series of TAS commercials. You know, the archeologist hacking his way through the remote jungles, evades restless natives, trekking wearily onward. Suddenly, the foliage parts in front of him to reveal a spa with pool, complete with bathing beauties and percies with trays of icy drinks and dressed in white jackets. When challenged, the archeologist produces his TAS membership, and walks away with a bikini-clad maiden on his arm.

Voice-over: "Your local Traveller's Aid Society - For those who like to rough it, ... or not."

Here's another :

Scene:

The camera is looking on a vast plain on a pastoral world. Suddenly with thudding hooves something rushes by. The camera pulls back to see a reptilian eight-legged Ponii running like the wind with carrying a rider wearing an outdated, almost frontier IISS uniform. The Ponii and rider are joined by another and another ...soon there are thousands of riders racing along the plain, the Ponii's hoofbeats rolling like thunder. One by one they turn to light as the entire group streams into the sky. Out in space the lights rush towards the camera, coalescing into an X-boat coming out of jump.

There is no voice-over but coming on the screen silently are the words "The Imperial Interstellar Scout Service"

Another TAS ad:

Stirring music plays while the scene shifts from time to time showing men and women in various worthwhile occupations... A doctor healing a sick child...a Marine major defending a town...A merchant captain of a 1000 ton freighter... A nobleman arguing his case in the government house. Then it shows them all in dinner dress enjoying drinks and conversation as a voice over plays:

"To those with Great Responsibility come Great Rewards.....Traveller's Aid"

A VERY old aging televid actress stands in front of a bunch of obviously generedd good looking youths and starts singing some insipid tv-tag song reworded as an add for cheap mass produced clothes aimed at the less than affluent consumer.

"Old IMEPRIAL Navy carpenter pants come in all sizes and colors for him, her or it!"
