Does anyone have the ~long~ Friends commercial in MPG/AVI whatever?

An especially long baseball game pushed tonight's syndicated Friends episode well past the scheduled start time, and one of the commercials during the show was a ~long~ version of the theme with extra clips and extra verses of the song. They needed to fill time, so us viewers got a nice treat.

Does anyone have this ~long~ video? They mixed scenes from the show with scenes from the Rembrandts video to make a really nice longform-video! I don't know if this is a national thing or something the local channel slapped together just to fill 3 minutes of airtime. I wish I had taped it! Aaargh!

well here I gather it was just your provider because they all pick and choose what they want to air. So some might not have aired the baseball game. I was so shocked when I went to Virginia Beach and turned on Fox and they had COMPLETLY different sitcoms on then they do here! They didnt have any of hte good ones. I was so mad, no friends at all on any channel at night! It sucked! Cox cable sucks I feel bad for all the people that live there. Anyway, my point is that syndaction episodes are run differently just about everywhere except for some odd reason they play the same episodes.. if they play any friends episodes at all.

Each channel probably makes up their own commercial. Here, I have 2 stations that air Friends, and they both have their own commercials. One uses the regular opening, and the other uses the original "I'll be There for You". Both commercials are hilarious with the clips. One shows fan comments before each clip. One thing I asked awhile back but never got an answer on is, does any channel show a small bumper at the end of the show before the last commercial with different cast members saying a couple lines, like: Annonucer: Friends will be right back Joey: Quit yanking me. or Announcer: Friends will be right back. Ross: You think? then Rachel does the banging fists together "flipping you off" move plus a bunch of others ones (they show a different one each day, about 5 or 6 total)

I guess they are different across the country then. I haven't seen the bumpers you described ever. We had neat teasers before the show started in syndication, with a voice-over saying "Coming Soon, Friends: 5 times a week!" cut with various reaction shots (Joey's eyes widening in glee, or someone saying "That is ~so~ cool", or Marcel dancing). I wonder if any of these promos made it as extras on the DVDs?
