Embarq

I like the Embarq ad...Where the second price comes to the house flops down on the couch and gets comfortable.
Anyone ever see this commercial?

I tried to find it on You Tube...
found this one instead, it is also pretty funny!

Road Runner first appeared in Sept 1949 in the short "Fast and Furry-ous"

The source of the sound "BEEP BEEP" was from background painter, Paul Julian. :smt005 Julian first made the noise around the Warner Bros. lot (imitating a car horn) as a lighthearted means of getting people out of his way when he was in a hurry.

Some of the rules the writers and artists followed in making the Coyote-Road Runner series:

The Road Runner cannot harm the coyote except by going "Beep-beep!"
No outside force can harm the coyote—only his own ineptitude or the running failure of the Acme products.
The coyote can stop any time—if he were not a fanatic.
There may be no dialogue ever, except "beep-beep!" The coyote may, however, speak to the audience occasionally, through wooden signs that he holds up.
The Road Runner must stay on the road—otherwise, logically, he would not be called "Road Runner".
All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters—the southwest American desert.
All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.
Whenever possible, gravity should be made the coyote's greatest enemy.
The coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.
The sympathy of the audience must lie with the coyote.
