Oh, my goodness. That was quite a time warp...

There are many reasons George Takei was my inspiration as an actor since childhood. This isn't one of them.

"By Grabthar's hammer...what a savings."

"Ahead full, Mr. Sulu. Remember to use the diamond lane."

 

[Broccoli]

I liked him better when he was shilling for monorails.

"By Grabthar's hammer...what a savings."

"By Grabthar's hammer...what a savings."

At least he's shilling for public transportation rather than the big box store in the Galaxy Quest example.

I thought that when he's on Earth, he steals a helicopter.

I live in Milwaukee. I'll never ride the bus again without thinking of Sulu!

Takei was a member of the LA transit board - maybe during the time he did this spot, too - so his interest in public transport was genuine.
