BREAK OUT THE TISSUES! All thanks to our friends at Comcast/Xfinity, they managed to put out the best commerical in years! They even got the original Elliott! I literally cried like 10 times!
In the four-minute ad, E.T. conveniently parks his spaceship in the backyard of a grown-up Elliott (played by Henry Thomas)! Elliott’s children and wife are shocked to see this small raisin-like creature, but Elliott excitedly hugs his old friend from 1982.
