Griff is Finally Found! (And Check Out "State Fair")

Posted by Jeff on September 28, 2007 at 12:56 PM in General | Permalink

Jeff_post It took a little under two weeks, Griff has been found! Several members have finally figured out Girffcartonfound where he was hidden in our Hail Mary TV ad (granted, it was NOT easy!). After receiving hundreds and hundreds of guesses, including scores from people who thought he was the ref, or the one knocking the vase out of another buyer's hands, a disturbingly high number from people who thought he was a cheerleader, several folks who guessed he was wearing a red-haired wig, and one gentleman who claimed "I found Cliff," I'm pleased to announce that celtic713 has emerged victorious as the first one to correctly identify Griff! They'll be receiving the much-coveted Griff-signed Shop Victoriously piece of memorabilia.

But soon after we got celtic713's answer, the floodgates really opened - several more correct responses followed within the next 24 hours. That's either a remarkable coincidence, some great teamwork, or a sign we ran that commercial a lot over that time period.

Due to the toughness of the contest, I would be remiss if I didn't at least acknowledge the others who sent in correct answers right around the same time: katiedoo, bdubb2003, rob4673, beachbadge, cjwang2, snow69angel, golfingaddict, and xtremecobra. Nicely done! And for those who never quite pinpointed where he was hiding, check out the screen capture at the bottom of this post - as you can see, he was in a specific spot posing as a photographer.

Finally, an Honorable Mention award goes to guitdrive, who correctly identified where Griff was....in the wrong commercial! He's also hidden in our State Fair ad, which just recently hit the airwaves. He's a lot more obvious in this one, however, so we thought we'd better stick to the Hail Mary ad for this game. But check it out underneath the screenshot and see if you can find him (no prize this time though, unfortunately).
