00:00By now you've probably seen Xfinity's new four-minute commercial called A Holiday Reunion

00:08featuring E.T. returning to Earth to chill with Elliot,

00:13played by, once again, I believe the drunk-driving superstar, Henry Thomas.

00:18Yeah, I don't know.

00:19He was just busted for drunk-driving.

00:20Oh, was he?

00:21I'm sure that Xfinity was like,

00:22Oh, come on!

00:23We just spent $42 million on this commercial.

00:26He's in some good movies every once in a while, that guy, though.

00:29Is he?

00:29Henry Thomas?

00:30Yeah, the guy who played Elliot in E.T.

00:32There's a movie called Suicide Kings he's in.

00:34That's great.

00:35Basically, if you haven't seen it, we put it up at DaveAndChuckTheFreak.com.

00:38It's a four-minute rehash of the original movie, except this time with Elliot's kids.

00:42They are the ones that discover E.T.

00:45Here's a little taste of it here.

00:51Oh, it's chilling.

00:55Chilling.

00:55Elliot.

00:56I forgot you're afraid of it.

00:57I don't like it.

00:58E.T. gets around a lot better these days.

01:17Lots changed since you were here.

01:19Forgot how much his skin's like a scrotal skin.

01:21That's exactly what he's designed after.

01:26It's no good.

01:27Looks like a burnt scrotum.

01:29Like it was in a meth fire.

01:31Yeah.

01:32Methy burnt scrotum.

01:34How much would they have spent?

01:35That's what it is.

01:36How much would they have spent to make this, to get the licensing to this?

01:39Because they use the music.

01:40I don't know.

01:42I don't know.

01:43Do they own the movie now?

01:44Do they own the rights to the movie?

01:46Probably.

01:46Well, Xfinity owns NBC Universal, right?

01:49Yeah.

01:49So like, was it a Universal picture?

01:51I think it was a Universal.

01:52Oh, yeah.

01:52Because they had the Universal Studios.

01:54So it cost them nothing to have E.T.

01:56They just got E.T.

01:57Exactly.

01:57They own E.T.

01:58Let me look in the attic here.

01:59What do we got?

02:00Dust it off.

02:01Oh, we got E.T.

02:03Oh, I got an idea.

02:04What about E.T.

02:05comes back, visits Elliot, but he's got a family.

02:08I love it.

02:08They got Xfinity.

02:09I love it.

02:10And they got cable, and they got all the cool things that cable allows you to use the

02:13voice remote.

02:14That's just looking for 20 seconds.

02:15I don't know what else is out there.

02:18The fat kid from Goonies is out there.

02:20Oh, no way.

02:22We got Chunk.

02:23Yeah, Chunk's there.

02:24He's not doing good.

02:25Oh, no.

02:27He's not doing that.

02:28He's not doing too good.

02:30Oh, no.

02:31We just own E.T.

02:32I will say this, though.

02:33Yeah.

02:34I didn't even bother watching it, and the reason I didn't bother watching it is I saw

02:39so much feedback about how people were bawling.

02:44Yeah.

02:45So many people said it made them cry.

02:46Like, they're bawling.

02:47What?

02:47Everyone was, like, bawling about E.T.

02:49because it was, like, hitting all the right things for these people.

02:53Those people need help.

02:54Right.

02:55So, but I was like, I'm one of those people that needs help.

02:58You cried?

02:58So, I was, like, not going to watch it.

03:00I'm not going to know.

03:01I was like, I'm not watching it.

03:02I know I will cry.

03:04I already know.

03:05I will cry.

03:07I mean, I cry at weird stuff, too.

03:09But I just, I don't know.

03:10You cried at Godzilla.

03:11Yeah.

03:12Yeah.

03:13I did.

03:14You did.

03:15I'm not one to judge on TV.

03:18No, so I didn't even bother.

03:19I was like, you know what?

03:20I'm sure it's lovely, and, you know.

03:22E.T. freaked me right out, man.

03:24Yeah, that's clear.

03:25Yeah.

03:25I don't know.

03:26You think he's a scrotal.

03:28It freaked me out.

03:28I didn't like him.

03:29Yeah, the scrotal skin thing.

03:31Yeah, yeah.

03:32Yeah, I didn't like, I had a thing, weird thing with, like, Reese's Pieces because of it,

03:36I think now.

03:37Oh, I love Reese's Pieces.

03:38If I drop one, I piss myself.

03:41Well, the only person chasing you is me.

03:44It's just me.

03:45Yeah, it's like, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

03:47You get me to go wherever you need me to go.

03:49I catch you in that hat and the dress.

03:51Hey!

03:52What are you doing to my clothes?

03:54Peces, peces.

03:56He followed me because I dropped Reese's Pieces.

03:59Damn it.

04:00You scared the crap out of me.

04:02Chuck him that hat and that dress.

04:03Yeah.

04:04Ah!

04:06What are you doing?

04:07Where'd you find those clothes?

04:08I don't know.

04:09I just, they were on another doll.

04:11Oh, my God.

04:13You better phone home, bud.

04:15I will.

04:17Al Beck says he's the same.

04:18He had the same fear that Andy.

04:20You were afraid of E.T., Al?

04:21Oh, terrified.

04:22I never really thought of him as a scrotum, but I guess I can't unsee that now.

04:26No, you can't.

04:27No, us can.

04:28Walking, talking, burning scrotum.

04:30Yeah, I guess.

04:32Burnt scrotum.

04:32Yeah.

04:33Burnt scrotum.

04:33Yeah.

04:34Burnt scrotum.
