Funny. I wonder if that airs outside of Canada...

Is everyone aware of the "Loonie" and "Twoonie" coins...? or the joke kinda falls flat.

I have no idea what they say towards the end...

In Canada, the nick name for our $1 coin is a "loonie" because it has a loon on the back. Our $2 coin is a "toonie" because it's the equivalent to two loonies. (Even though it has a polar bear on the back.)

So the dialogue at the end is basically,

"How much did we make?"

"I got a couple loonies."

"I got a toonie."

"Cool"

(I guess this means this ad runs in Canada only.)

Edit: By the way, why is a dollar called a "buck"?

The word buck— possibly an abbreviation of buckskin or buckarooney, an intrinsic "currency" for trade with American Indians known since 1746 — has been recorded since 1856 and is widely used as a synonym for the dollars of many countries, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the United States.

Tomorrow I'm going to see a Sweden-Finland match in Stockholm, can't wait!

I saw the commercial for the first time today. I was in BP so I couldn't hear what they were saying. It made me laugh just watching them dance though.

Good stuff, glad to see the commercials getting better.

They are getting it..it's all about the players. I think someone said this is a different ad agency than the one that did the Samurai ones from last year.

I see the Sedin spot is edited different so there isn't the reference to the Canadian loonie or toonie. Makes sense.

I like this approach more and more with each new ad.
