A bunch of new Comcast Town ads have caught our attention here at Songspeak. They’re a mix of animation and live action, and feature people walking around singing about what they see. You can visit Comcast Town yourself on the interwebs and do all sorts of crazy things. It’s a flashtastic site where you ‘move in’ and design things using ‘Comcast bucks’.
“Welcome to Comcast Town, a place where technology lives, the possibilities are never ending and squirrels play guitars. Like any great place, there’s lots to see and do. In the coming weeks you’ll be able to explore the town, visit friends and neighbors, play games and discover Easter eggs.”
The ad campaign was produced by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
Sure, they’re not as punny as the Comcast ads with terrible, yet clever puns, but I rather enjoy this new batch of ads. Pretty clever. Here’s the long generic version. A whole batch of these commercials follow below!
LYRICS:
New sensation sending shivers
Flying further, dreaming bigger
Single cable, one decision
Internet, phone, television
High speed internet elation
Crazy fast acceleration
Awe inspiring, screaming, yelling
ROTFLOLing
Voicemail, email, all connected
Caller ID, friend detected
Kelly calling, conference Karen
So much stuff to share with Sharon
More HD, awesome edition
Death defying definition
Ninjas, cowboys, gangsters, coppers
Huge explosions, helicopters
Films fantastic, shows outstanding
Motherload of on demand-ing
Hometown showdown, perfect timing
Courtside, kicking back, unwinding
Happy hi-tech automatic
Exponentially ecstatic
Speeding forward, future hopping
Always dreaming, never stopping
C-O-M-C-A-S-T
C-O-M-C-A-S-T

Are you able to post these songs onto your soundboard page? i would really like to add these to the collection i have started. so far ive been able to find only a few commercial songs from the free credit report.com commercials. im also looking for the hillshire farms audio. if you are able to fulfill this request i can say thanks a dozen times.
@Zach – Hey Zach. I don’t think we know much about grabbing audio from video files here in the Songspeak National Headquarters Office Tower. If we learn how, we’ll explode a plethora of audio files all over the place.
These are brilliant, absolutely addictive. By the way, I am waiting for someone to ask what ROTFLO means. “Rolling on the floor, laughing outloug…”
@John Monteverdi – I find myself having the song in my head regularly.
These ads bug me, they’re trying way too hard. Are hipster-y indie kids really Comcast’s target demographic??
@EricaVee – The animation is cooler than the song, for sure.
Its ROTFLOL-Rolling on the floor laughin out loud!
So does anyone know if the music was based off of a real song? It sounds familiar but i cant place the song.
I knew the entire song the first week I heard it…it a thing im proud of because it was very hard but in the in it just flows off my thouge
[...] it, pause it! I like to pause it, pause it! I like to…PAUSE IT!” I was almost literally ROTFLOLing. I love it when 4 year-olds songspeak. For those of you who have forgotten the original [...]
