Awesome! I have some cufflinks and a tie clip with that robot guy from the first video. Not sure if I'll ever find a reason to use them, but they're kinda neat, and were cheap on eBay. ;)

I like your idea about remaking the second one but what about taking it a step further: we see the woman from the old ad telling her granddaughter about her adventures, via flashbacks. The granddaughter goes around the country snapping photos with her new Pentax dSLR, following her grandmother's footsteps. It might be too involved for short TV ads, but it'd be fun to see.

Those are great. The same approach in TV adds would still work great today. That was a great series. I don't know where you fished those out of, but it's great. I hope Ned Bunnell is watching.
