The Magnificent Shiny Disc Hero

Yo..hello friend! Do you know what DVD9 is? You know, nine? Sembilan?

Has anybody seen the Astro On Demand commercial, starring the Magnificent Shiny Disc Hero? Before you guys shout out a resonating "Tai Jor Lor!", I just wanna say that this commercial is insanely hilarious! Props to the creative minds that came up with this commercial. Hehe..when I first saw it, I thought it was a commercial for anti-piracy.

I gotta say, Malaysian commercials have always been pretty good. Though some are bad and cheesy, they've always been a fair share of gems out there in the mix. And TMSDH is one of the best I've seen. One of the reasons I'm really fond of it is that the commercial uses a pirated disc seller who sells his wares at a kopitiam, something that we encounter frequently and which I daresay is uniquely Malaysian (the act of a walking vendor selling discs at kopitiams I mean).

For those of you that haven't seen it (or you just wanna see it again), here are the commercials, courtesy of Youtube. There are 3 of them so far, hopefully there's more. The 1st one (and the longest one) is the best.

Now if anybody asks you if you've seen the commercial, you can answer "Tai Jor Lor!!"
