Motel 6 Commercial

**ckelly327** · 22nd April 06, 04:08 PM

I was watching horse racing on ESPN2 this afternoon and Motel 6 has a new commercial that's pretty funny. A guy walks into his motel room in his kilt and gear announcing how he goes around the country to Scottish festivals and saves lots of money by staying at these motels. He flips off his sporran and then sits on the end of the bed with his legs spread apart telling how he also always feels so comfortable. There's something that is strategically located to block the answer to THE Question from the camera but the voice over says something to the effect that "At least it makes one of us comfortable."

Can't find it on the internet yet but I'm sure it will show up sometime. Keep an eye out for this one as it is kind of funny and is not demeaning to kilt wearers in my opinion.

Is Tom Bodette still doing the folksy voice-overs for Motel 6?

Oh, and well done for getting into the regiment ckelly.

I've heard of it and I'm keeping an eye out for it. ( I can't believe I'm looking forward to seeing a commercial)

I saw that one the other night... so that's what the ball on top of the balmoral is for

Thanks Ron,

I think I saw somewhere that Motel 6 got a new ad agency and this one didn't have the Tom Bodette, "We'll leave the light on" tag line. I think he still does the radio spots though.
