Colbert Report chant

Usually, after the theme song and before Stephen Colbert actually starts his news satire, the audience chants something, but I can't hear what they say. Does anyone know? Thanks! 64.229.153.236 (talk) 03:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Who Is The Artist

Today in Edmonton, Alberta at Kingsway Mall, at Coles, at around 4:15 pm, I heard what sounded like Avril Lavigne singing a song. The end had a "oooh oooh ooh" pattern that was fading out. The "oooh ooh ooh" had a melody that was going up in a scale, not the classical Dorian mode scale, but also with rhythm. What is this song?Curb Chain (talk) 05:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

"Star" pillager in Capital One commercials

I recognize Donald Gibb in the Capital One commercials as one of the pillagers who usually gets one or two joke lines, but who is the actor with the British accent who plays the one who speaks directly to the camera and talks about the card? 20.137.18.50 (talk) 14:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

I believe the head Viking's name is Colin, but I am having no luck at all finding any additional information (with or without using "Colin" in my search terms). Apparently there is a Facebook fan page for the Capital One Vikings, but if it's corporate-run they probably don't have casting information. Colin certainly does have nice teeth for a Viking, doesn't he? --LarryMac | Talk 17:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

They might "officially" be pillagers instead of Vikings, although the web seems to be full of both. Also, the head guy mgiht be Garth, not Colin. I'm going to let somebody else take it from here. --LarryMac | Talk 17:26, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

It can be hard to find the names of commercial actors unless they are also known to you from other more credited things like movies and TV shows. For instance, I know that from the current Fruit of the Loom Fruit Guys, the green grapes are played by J.P. Manoux because of roles he had on ER, the purple grapes are played by Wayne Wilderson because I caught a reference to him in an episode of The Office, but the Apple character (no verification on this "Rad Daly" mentioned at Fruit of the Loom) and the current leaf character (which of course is not the old leaf actor F. Murray Abraham, who is mentioned at Fruit of the Loom) are not recognizable to me from anything else. 20.137.18.50 (talk) 18:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Not knowing which country you're in or having a link to a vid of the advert to go on, the only British actor I can find that's worked on a Capital One advert is Mark Frost. Google says that he killed a dragon in one of the ads. Nanonic (talk) 00:54, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Songs Featured in the film "Super 8"

I know that "My Sharona" and "Don't Bring Me Down" are feauted but I'm pretty sure there's others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.176.137.161 (talk) 21:44, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
