I just stumbled upon this web page looking for info on the eBay commericals. There are so many dumb commercials out there that I love it when someone just decides to have some fun and camp it up. That's why I love the "That's Amore" guy.

Why oh why are the original commercials so hard to find?! Anybody have a link to the one with the portly bald fellow? I think that one is my favourite although the others are growing on me as well.

Does anyone know who the blonde chunky woman is who is facing the guy when he busts out with the Amore-EBay song? She looks like Betty Broderick (the socialite who killed her hubby many moons ago). Thanks, it's driving me crazy. (Short trip too!)

Yes, i agree with Steve (5-5_2004) why did they remove "nice bling bling"? Hmm,maybe something that upsets our conservative censors in this current administration. This is similar to the "gellin like a felon" that was removed early from those shoe insert commercials. thanks to Steve for pointing out one of the many subtle changes that are going on in what is the so called "Liberal Media". Come on folks, the "Media" is owned by rich Conservatives.

Yay for Christina.. ahem.. Christian and his fabulous eBay commercial. While the eBay commercial is fabuuulous, nothing compares to seeing him sitting on top of a dog house with a typewriter singing about the daughter of the man who killed the maid.. I heart you!!! :-D

Here's the question. Why did they go from "Nice Bling Bling" to "Pearlys On A Sting" in "That's on ebay"? and where can I get a copy (audio and video) of the bling bling rendition? the ebay website only has the pearl one for download.

I love the EBay commercials. Thanks for identifying Christian Borle for me - so much better than anyone on American Idol, although I also love American Idol. Now who is the plump woman singing on the freeway on an earlier EBay commercial? She was really good, too.

I like the commercial where that good looking guy whips out all the electronics and sings the ebay commercial to "That's Amore" I ususally see it when I'm watching American Idol. I was asking a friend at work if she knew who he was. We both had wondered if ha had ever tried to be on American Idol. Funny, how great minds think alike-ha ha. Anyway, I can't get that song out of my head. But I usually sing it my way. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie--it's ebay. Keep up the good work ebay--I can't get the melody out of my head.

RE: "john Sep 29, 2003 10:53 PM is that an orignal song? or from another song?" That's from the original song "Do You Know The Way To San Jose" by Burt Bacharach. The album was "Make It Easy On Yourself", circa 1967. See http://www.artofthestates.org/cgi-bin/piece.pl?pid=68 I'm trying to remember the other commercials and their associated tunes; there's "That's Amore", "My Way", and I can't remember the first one I saw, with a woman on a highway, singing from vehicle to vehicle...

I think the ebay commercials are really cool. I'm interested to see what this one ends up looking like. The editor also cut my last project.
