Hmmm?  I wonder what prompted them to come up with a game show-themed commercial???

We'll probably be seeing that "FF meets TPiR" commercial here in Northeast Ohio pretty quick as well, since Time-Warner is starting to acquire some of the cable providers located outside of Akron.  
 
I still think the Comcastic spot remains the best of the bunch!

Finally...

I'd always wondered what would happen if MGP would have put a Feud podium in front of the TPiR turntable...

Yech.

Do you mean "Final Exam", which I saw for the first time yesterday?  It looked like it was intended to be a take-off on Millionaire (hence the "Final Answer?" at the end, question on the screen, music on during the commercial, and the single contestant-facing-the-host format), but the set was a bit different.

Didn't someone say that there was an extended version of that spot? I've only seen the short one.

This is the "Final Exam" spot I saw:

Although it's clearly a "Millionaire" spoof, the set & colors made me think of Donny Osmond's "Pyramid" at first glance.

Plays fine for me. You might consider an un- and re- of Quicktime/iTunes.

Well it will play fine for anyone that has the correct codec, I didn't.

After some digging I found out it's an MPEG4 Audio codec.

This one did it for me.

You might also need a avc1 codec which you can get at...
