  • A classic commercial (or rather "video trailer") for Diet Coke starring Hammer movie legend Michael Gough in his role as Alfred Pennyworth from the 1989-1997 Batman movie series. This commercial was seen in the original 1989 VHS release of the first Tim Burton "Batman" movie and has not been released on home video since. Michael Keaton also appears as Batman via clips from the film.

    I always thought Michael Gough was the best Alfred by far. He embodied everything that the character was supposed to be: he was much more than just a butler. He was a confidant, a surrogate father(or whole family as Bruce saw it), and a friend, probably the best friend Bruce ever had.

      Without Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger wouldn't have had inspiration. Joker would still be a bumbling moronic comic character with over zealous drive to gold and cash. Jack Nicholsons Joker made it about a personal grudge against a Batman who stood in his way of revenge and robbing the city. Without Danny Elfman the batmen saga wouldn't have the greatest themesong ever written. No matter how many batman movie themes we go through Danny's will always be the cornerstone of all comic movie themes. Not even the fabled superman theme.

But there is also no time like the present because 50 years from now(If I’m even alive by then) the present right now will be looked at as the good old days.

    I thought about that as well. Why do you need to call a convenience store ahead of time just to buy a soda?
    It's not like a pizza where they actually need time to prepare it.

      This was 1989. Mr. Freeze doesn't show up until 1997.

    Honestly this is so good that it could’ve been a series with many other superheroes, I saw one vid where this guy did a daredevil version

    Only Michael Gough could make Diet Coke seem like something you'd actually want to drink.
