Ad - Banned American Express Commercials

Remember those fun videos featuring Seinfeld and Superman for American Express?

Well there's more!
Here's another short featuring our heroes walking around the city, doing and talking about nothing:



This is a later short, as you can see (despite the poor quality of the vid' on youtube) the animations and design of Supes was much more crisper.

Why was this one banned?
Well American Express didn't had Superman's rights anymore and they didn't think about renewing it with DC Comics.
Rumor has it some more shorts were prepared, but good luck finding them on the internet!~

  1. They're quite easy to find.

    I've been watching every Seinfeld episode since Season 1 lately :P
    Basically said, there's one reference in each episode, be it visually (Superman magnet on refrigerator,..), audible (directly referring or mentioning Supes and his related characters) or metaphorically (allusions, more subtle..)

    Ha! :D

  2. mentioning trivia, I see :P

    Because a much more memorable and notable Superman inspired episode would be the Lois episode. Even the Superman Theme by John Williams played in this one! XD
