At least one good thing came out of our Knight Rider watching last night, and that was this credit card commercial that we almost missed while whizzing by in TiVo light-speed. An evil galactic ruler and his army of red robo-clones stand poised for dominance, and he uses his newfound power to create his own credit card, complete with a picture of kittens on it. "WAR KITTENS!?" bellows his crazy eyed, exposed brain-circuitry sporting assistant.
At least one good thing came out of our The armies of evil look like Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still painted red and sporting fins, and we love the pre-packaged versions of them lined up behind the two evils. They look like something you might find in a toy store in the action figures aisle. However, it's the androidical sidekick who steals the entire commercial. From his excitement over War Kittens, to the way he "accidentally" blows up the space station in the background and says "Oops," we need more bad guys like this.

YES! That commercial was great, though I really liked Knight Rider last night...
OMG I want some war kittens.
An evil vet at an evil petting zoo?
Saw that commercial a while back, haven't seen it in a while. War kittens, yep that is what we need. :)
Reminded me of Xur and the Kodan Armada. Which is a good thing.
Did somebody say WAR KITTENS? [www.nbc.com]
"War Kittens" is going to be my new battle cry!
And it's embarrassing that the VFX in this spot are almost infinitely better than the Knight Rider movie.
Uh, no. Just, no.
@Dr. Spaceman: Ha.. Dr. Spaceman.
awesome!
Best Sci Fi this weekend is when I found a DVD for The Ice Pirates at the grocery store. 2nd place goes to War Kittens. 3rd place goes to Knight Rider redux.
Yes this is great, but it was originally shown during the Super Bowl I believe.
What does it mean when this commercial gets almost as much attention as the show it's shown during?
@Ghede: Even better, Action Cats!!

@JStrulleh: It means it is time to spin that commercial off into its own show...
Commercial are the new pilots..
I think they have a "James Bond"-style evil genius ad, as well.
@SundaySunday: Ahhh, Ice Pirates. A too-oft forgotten classic.
@DocGratis: You mean like "Cavemen"? *Breaks a bottle* I will kill someone to keep that from happening.
@SundaySunday: Ahh, I still chuckle when I think of the Space Herpe.
Where all y'all been? (as they say in Texas) They've been showing the "war kittens" commercial for weeks; way before the Superbowl.
@CSX321: We just don't watch a lot of network TV. We're too busy having our brains zapped.
This commercial goes back to way before the Super Bowl. And I laugh "War kittens!?!" every time. Every time. My wife, of course, looks at me like I'm crazy.
I love that commercial. I want a war kitten now :(
"WAAAAAAR Kittens?"
