You have to do

Description

A viking honks his horn calls "Feast!" outside of a castle. The king runs out and jumps in the car and the viking hands him a Snickers bar. They drive to a park where several pilgrims are eating. The viking exits the car, yells "feast" and carries a man from the picnic and places him in the car. The pilgrim seems worried until they hand him a Snickers and he begins to smile. The next person that they pick up is a Roman leader who is watching wrestling when the car arrives. They honk the horn, yell "feast" and the emperor runs to the car and joins them. Lastly they pick up a Polynesian flame dancer who runs to the car and drops his flaming stick as soon as they honk and shout feast.

[LadyK] The song the Hawiaan dancer starts is GreenSleeves. Its even funnier because King Henry VIII wrote said song for Anne Boleyn.

As far as my favorite commercial, it is hands down the one where the Pilgrim asks the Viking where they are going and he starts spouting off about Vahalla and the Pilgrim listens intently until he asks what the address is so he can plug it into the GPS.

On a total side note, some friends and I were at a hotel in Phx, Az one morning having breakfast and out walks all 5 of them, they shuffle off to the gift shop buy snickers and head out the front door. We kind of stared in awe for a few minutes. As they were leaving the Viking and Pilgrim stopped and chatted w/ us for a few minutes. Incredibly nice people. We wanted to follow and play with them (My friends and I do Renaissance Performers in Arizona) The Pilgrim is REALLY tall. We loved them all tho. Great guys!!!
