BTS on TV

Postby TapaidhNaomh » Sun Sep 11, 2011 10:24 pm

This is just kind of a fun little incident of a BTS showing up in the culture.

If anyone saw the Jets v. Cowboys game tonight (sidenote: J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!) during the Hyundai commercial featuring a school classroom a blue tongue was clearly being kept as the class pet. There was a shot of him chilling out in his habitat.

Like I said, small, insignificant, but still kinda fun. I shouted loud enough to scare all my friends when I saw it.

Thanks for posting the link! That's neat. It's always fun to see a BTS in the limelight because it hardly ever happens...

Lol I do this whenever I see rats in movies on TV, and it cracks me up how they're always portrayed as dirty and evil and squeaking non-stop :lol:

There is a nice Shingleback Skink, as well as a Carpet Python, in the movie: The Road Warrior (Mad max II).

The commercial was on yesterday during one of the NCIS shows. I swear they cut the BTS out of the commercial when they show it that time because I rewound it 2 or 3 times and watched the whole thing and didn't see the BTS this time :( I know it was the same commercial cause I had just watched it on the link from this thread earlier in the day.
No, it's a SKINK not a SKUNK. Er, no, it's not a Blue Tongued Skank---although I do think I dated one of those at some point.

There's also a BT in the Hulk movie. There are two recent Hulk movies, the BT is in the first one.

There's also a ton of BTS in Nim's Island! They get flung all over the place to try to rid people of settling on their island (or something).
