Anyone remember those classic Holiday Inn commercials?

[bradruth]

With the 37 year old slacker who constantly demands ridiculous accommodations from his family and they reply with "What do you think this is, a Holiday Inn?" and the grandmother laughs hysterically?

Apparently the guy that played the slacker ("Mark Harvey") is named Ross Brockley. I really need to find some of those commercials...they were fvcking hilarious. The one where he moved out of his parents house and into the Holiday Inn and used the copier at the service desk to print off his book "When the Wheels Fall Off" especially. The concierge is being all helpful and asks about the book "Oh, so is it one of those self-help kind of things?" and the guy replies "No...it's about a bike" completely deadpanned...oh man, I need to find them.

Yeah, I saw that one too...damnit I wish I could find these.

They mention it in their list here, but I'm not going to buy something to watch commercials. http://www.funnytvads.net/
