Next time you see it, watch Rick Kelly, his race suit keeps opening and closing at the top, like they have done a few takes and he has forgotten. Pretty funny and just shows the intelligence level.

And I agree he walks like a robot!!

If you think though, Rick has his HSVDT car in the ad, but Courtney uses the ‘FORD’ (FPR built FG falcon) - could this be the largest hint to his future???
He does have a SBR suit on, but that is probably his sponsors kicking up a fuss….think about it

I found the ad on you tube…was quite disappointed. I expected it to be just Kelly and Courtney talking and stuff…nothing like I expected!

The marketing brief given to the advertising execs was that people don’t appreciate TIVO’s innovation and that it’s features are very under-rated.

To fix this, the Ad execs chose two of the most over-rated drivers to advertise the product

Hence Jamie wasnt there…:-)

I’m pretty sure that in America they have to pay for it monthly, like if you have pay tv.

I haven’t seen the ad yet, despite watching the Olympics a lot. I’ll have to tune in more

Near the end Kebab Boy is walking with his racing suit undone. Trying to show everyone his newly grown chest hairs maybe?

Do note that the first thing you see in the ad is one of the T8 cars on the TV paused ……. check it out next time the ads on …..

2 Things I think of when I see that ad.

#1- Rick Kelly walks like a robot.
#2- Australia is getting ripped off with Tivo, $500+ dollars out here, $50 in America…

haaha Christa, agreed on the ‘JC appeals to everyone’

id say it would just be ‘the right person for the job’

Well I haven’t seen the ad, since I havent’t put the TV on channel 7 since the olympics started!
The only thing I can say is that a lot of people who aren’t supercar fans know who JC is because of DWTS - most non-supercar fans don’t know who JW is. (I know I’ll get slammed for saying that, but it’s true - none of my friends are supercar fans, but they all know JC and CL).
I’m guessing it had nothing to do with where the drivers rank in supercars, or how many races they’ve won - it would have been more of a personality thing - and JC definately appeals to everyone from me to my mum to my nana! Or you never know, it might be like the launch of the new falcon, where CL couldn’t do it so JC got asked…
