November 22[edit]

Unofficial split-screen advertisement from several years ago[edit]

This is going to be a painfully vague question, but that's why I'm here instead of trawling through Google.

Between five and seven years ago, I saw a video advert for a brand of beer (don't remember the name). The ad never ran on TV; I saw it online because it was an entry (perhaps a winning entry) in a fairly major advertisement competition (again, no name recall). The ad ran something like this: It opened with an interior shot of the back doors of a shipping truck opening, and the whole ad showed the process of this beer getting shipped from the place it was manufactured to the bar where it was sold. The whole thing was shot in vertical split screen, with one half of the video showing the modern-day version of it, and the other half in sepia tones showing the early-20th-century version of the same thing. The two sides were cropped to make it look like it was all the same shot (not just two separate images, but two images comprising a whole). I think it was set to a sort of electronic version of Can't Help Falling in Love.

If anyone can magically pull out any of the following, I'd appreciate it immensely:

The name and artist of the song

Where I might be able to watch the ad

The name of the advert competition

"Trick"[edit]

A week or so ago I asked about this song. I finally found someone who knows the title and artist of the song, and it turns out it's "Trick", by 50 Cent, Too Short and E-40. However, no sooner did this mystery end than a new one began. I cannot find the lyrics to "Trick" anywhere. Googling the title and artists only leads to MP3 sites, not the lyrics sites that one would think would certainly have a song this popular. Does anyone know the lyrics to this song, and does anyone have an explanation as to why I can't find them online? Wiwaxia (talk) 07:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All things considered, you could probably fake it by mumbling rhythmically and randomly shouting "Fuck"... HalfShadow 07:07, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

HIMYM Clip[edit]

A week or two ago, my dad showed me a clip from How I Met Your Mother (I think; that's the one with Neil Patrick Harris right?) where he quoted a bunch of "dismissal lines" from reality shows, i.e. "The Tribe has Spoken," "You are the last team to arrive," etc. Does anybody know of anyplace I could find this clip or a list of the phrases he used? Thanks so much! 8.225.187.3 (talk) 12:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd try going to www.CBS.com, following the show's link, then locating the episode in question. Kingsfold (Quack quack!) 16:30, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was from the most recent episode (last week's, not tonight's), if that helps to narrow things down. Corvus cornix_talk 18:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so I was from Series 6, Episode 9 ("Glitter") and the version I have has Barney spouting that list at 13:41. There's 18 of them so I'm not going to list them all but I'm sure you can find it online (there are plenty of legal downloading sites). 46.64.28.37 (talk) 23:00, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

better place for denise oliver disgussion[edit]

Disgussion continued about denise oliver taylor swift here, rather then in a question about her ansestry. My question is, why did she come up with her stage name of Taylor Swift around 2006? Above, i state that Spy Academy and Wayside are my sources. Observations, not Point of view. N.I.M. (talk) 13:48, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do mean when you say Spy Academy and Wayside are your sources? Do they actually link their names somehow, or do you just think that Oliver sounds like Swift in those shows? --Onorem ♠Dil 13:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He means the latter, although I don't think he's serious, he's just trolling us again. Adam Bishop (talk) 14:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, FYI, there are a few other editors (including myself) who believes this is a troll/complete charade, link.. I'm considering writing something up on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Sorry if this is not appropriate for the ref desk. Thanks. --CutOffTies (talk) 16:17, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know this isn't about the question, but what's trolling? 70.241.22.82 (talk) 18:36, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See "What is a troll?" -- kainaw ™ 20:18, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Observations, not pov, and i am not troling. Cut off ties, did you not get my message? Remember what you are not. Don't go accusing, and look for Annie De Carteret in baltimore. And i observed it, and the only way they could be diferent people, as i understand, is if Denise was to create a geneticly modified clone of herself, kind of like Carl and C2 in Carl squared. if it turns out that i'm wrong, then tell me, without these stupid accusations. Tell me cut off ties, when did i start editing wikipedia? Me, not george. N.I.M. (talk) 22:42, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your observations are incorrect. You are wrong. Adam Bishop (talk) 00:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Like I told you before, if Taylor Swift were to have another name, it would be somewhere on the internet and it's not. Taylor Swift's name is Taylor Swift. Period. Dismas|^(talk) 02:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where can i find some info on Denise Oliver, Imdb has nothing, Tv.com and other sights have nothing, Heck, all i know, is that she was born on December 13, 1990, which also was what lead me to that belief. —Preceding unsigned comment added by N.I.M. (talk • contribs) 02:53, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You mean this Denise Oliver? If you think Hazel on My Friend Rabbit sounds like Taylor Swift, you are clearly nuts. Adam Bishop (talk) 05:38, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She does a different voice, and i mean that denise oliver. Iris on spy academy and Maurecia on wayside sound like Taylor. and yes i mean that denise oliver, any idea whether she's american or canadian? info like that? N.I.M. (talk) 10:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DNFTT. Corvus cornix_talk 19:25, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think i'm a trole? If someone doesn't necesarily believe you, it doesn't make them a trole. In any case, i'm just asking where Denise Oliver is from if she is not taylor swift, who's from Pensylvania. N.I.M. (talk) 13:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The shows she is on are Canadian, so she is probably Canadian too. Adam Bishop (talk) 19:51, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about disputes, i was sure she and taylor swift are the same way, they sound the same, and were born on the same day. which is rather a strangw coeinsidence. N.I.M. (talk) 22:37, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know when Denise Oliver was born? Adam Bishop (talk) 03:42, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My aunt said. so don't quote me on it. N.I.M. (talk) 22:30, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So this whole discussion, which almost got you blocked as a troll, is based on some random thing some random person said? Adam Bishop (talk) 03:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

song I heard[edit]

there're these songs I heard on the radio... with the lyrics "I want you, show me the way" and "come around, turn around, mowney mowney" respectively (or something like that, I can't remember the last two words) Jds500 (talk) 18:39, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Show Me the Way (Peter Frampton song), probably. Recury (talk) 19:43, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, what about the second? Jds500 (talk) 20:01, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

will and grace - karen quote[edit]

In Season 5, Episode 3, Scene 6, Karen Walker says "I'm sick of pickin' up trash in the park with that kid from The Sopranos. What kid is she referring to? 86.177.144.164 (talk) 21:20, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Iler. See his article for what she's referring to. Corvus cornix_talk 22:03, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

identify a NES game[edit]

What game is being played on this youtube video at 4:31? It appears to be some sort of turn based strategy game, but I'm not sure which one. Thanks. APL (talk) 21:40, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The description tells you. As is the case with 80% of YouTube videos. It links to this website, which says Gauntlet and/or Gauntlet II, but you want the one after it - Gemfire. 90.195.179.106 (talk) 23:14, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Of course. Stupid of me. Thanks!. APL (talk) 03:39, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

crazy old cat lady voice on kids next door[edit]

The crazy old cat lady on codename kids next door sounds different in operation z.e.r.o. then she does in her other episodes, for example, operation f.i.s.h.y. Who voices her in Z.E.R.O. and F.I.S.H.Y., they sound totaly different. N.I.M. (talk) 22:58, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb lists her character here. Grey DeLisle is the only credited actor. The IMDb entry for F.I.S.H.Y. lists no-one for the cat lady. 90.195.179.106 (talk) 23:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Paul McCartney[edit]

I remember much of the mid/late 1960's even though I was 4 or 5 years of age. Most of what I remembered seeing (I'm a Beatle Fanatic ) I've been able to find over the years, and especially with such things as Wikipedia, google, Youtube well most have been found. EXCEPT I remember seeing Paul McCartney (in Color) Host a talk show...like in 1968 or 69. My memory always thought it was the David Frost Show ( yes not the B/w 1964 interview on Youtube), but I haven't been able to find what show it was. He was wearing a Sweeter, explained that the host would be him for the evening & proceeded to interview whomever. Me & my family we loved it...seeing him introduce the next guest etc...Perhaps it was a co hosting effect ( I was only 5 ) but I can see it in my memory as clear as I could all the other film bits that have shown up over the years. Can the GREAT Wikipedia perhaps find the footage or answers on what show/year etc... I think or tend to remember it being after ( another show/date ) that great moment of "Hey Jude"...cause it seemed like Frost & him were friends - hence the hosting of the show. OK, that's it, the last rare footage or "facts" I can't seem to find
