[???]Weird commercial during America's Got Talent

[konamouse]

At approximately what time during the broadcast? I have it on DVR and can look around if it was on my timezone/affiliate.

[poeticexplosion]

Gah, I should have posted as soon as it happened. I think it was approximately 3/4s of the way through.

[catherwood]

we saw it tonight on NBC during Last Comic Standing, i think during the first half, which would be around 9:15pm PDT.

The tag line wasn't a URL specifically, but if memory serves, it said "what is chuck's secret?" at the end. The whole commercial was filled with a series of images flashed too quickly to be absorbed without freeze frame.

We're in a hotel tonight, traveling to Reno tomorrow. My home VCR is set to record Last Comic Standing tomorrow night on Bravo, but there are no guarantees that they will show the same commercials.

Konamouse, you're amazing. I mean, really really amazing.

Too bad it looks like just a tv show. Thanks for doing that!

EDIT: It's got Jayne from Firefly in it, how bad can it be?

EDIT II: After watching the trailer... the answer is "pretty bad".

And the plot thickens... we're always adding new content to chuckssecret.com....

[the_velociraptor]

According to the sites, it's about a computer geek/nerd who accidentally downloads some government files in his brain. </captainobvious>

Hmm... dunno if the show will look good.

While I'm not fond of shills, butterygoodness, I still checked out the new page.

It's actually quite nice. There are some outside links that are rather ARGish; the whole thing is rather cool.

Here are some of my favorite outside links:
