The Slowskys that is, Bill and his Karolyn. The Slowskys are a married turtle couple who'd rather subscribe to an internet service that is slow (DSL) rather than the quick speedy service of a Broadband service like COMCAST. The Slowsky's (Bill and Karolyn) live in a one-story ranch style home and have all the amenities of modern life, including a concrete swimming pool in the back yard which they call the Pond.
I think they are so funny. I can't stop laughing and following along with the latest commercial.. The one when Bill says to Karolyn, "You push it, you push it real good"..he's referring to pushing the laptop across the backyard to get it further away from the house...to make it slower...lol Karolyn is directing him from the house. I just love the Slowskys. Here's a link to the commercial. Enjoy.

OMG, that was just too cute! I had not seen any of these commercials. I love commercials with animals in them. The Geico gecko is a hoot too. Did you see the dogfood commercial a few years back (I believe it was for dogfood) on Animal Planet, about noses coming in all sizes and shapes. It showed countless pictures of various noses on various dog breeds. It was great too.

The Slowskys are awesome, but my all time heroes are the cavemen. I even have them on my friend list on myspace. I can't wait till this fall when they have their own show.
"Disovering fire, inventing the wheel, laying the foundation for all mankind..Yeah, sorry we couldn't get that to you sooner" You tell 'em cavey!!!

I like the raccoons also they are cute and so adorable. I like commericals with animals in them others I don't really care for. It takes a long time to train these animals for just a few seconds of fame on a television commerical. I have seen t his commerical also and I got a good belly laugh out of it. They are just to cute and funny. If they want slow they should have my computer I think it is way to slow but I get things done barely just takes me longer. I'd fit right in with the Slowsky's.lol Ahh they have a pool wonder if they'd want a houseguest this summer?.lol

Commercials have always been my favorite part of tv. I like the raccoons that advertize for Lazyboy. I used to memorize commercials when I was about three, then when I saw my granny, I would tell her a commercial for every product she used. She was certain I was going to grow up and be a stand up comic. I have seen the Slowskys.

The Slowsky's and the Gecko (for Geico Insurance) are my absolute favorites. I don't think there has been one that didn't tickle the crap out of me.
