Wow! Those are some hilarious commercials. In the first one, I love how they call them "wolf people". I'm so glad that their advertisements have improved!

Improved? Those ads are way better than any advertising LEGO has produced in the last 15 years. They do an amazing job of making 6080 and 6086 look incredibly majestic.
The commercial for the new castle sets is pretty good, though it relies too much on computer animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TLFB20WiRg
I still prefer the simplicity of the 1980's commercials.

Sure they look majestic, but I like today's better than the older one's voicing/plot line/writing.
I really like the old castle adverts with the British voice-overs, the 'LEGO maniac' ones are just cringingly bad. The new Kingdoms one seems like a respectful nod to the classics, but with the added modern p-zazz of a bit of CGI.

It'd be interesting to track down Zack and have him speak at a AFOL convention sometime... Assuming he's really not in a mental institution... though if he is, that could be interesting in its own disturbing way...
