Is there any way I can save this movie to my hard drive?

Absolutely. If you just change the .html at the end to .swf, you'll get the movie. Of course, finding a browser that will download it and not display it might be a challenge. Do you have a download manager like GetRight? If so, you could use that.

It shows up in my temporary internet files as a .swf file but doesn't play back too clearly, kind of fuzzy.

Not personally seen this one on TV but it looks like it's an UK advert for 118118 which is one of the new privatised directory enquires numbers. The adverts all actually bug the hell out of me, including the one for the 118888 as they're all made to be obnoxiously annoying so the number sticks in your head.

Whenever I need to download something there is not a nice link to, I just create a temporary webpage and use the right click -> save link as... feature of most browsers.

use this code:

<a href="http://www.workinprogress.tv/personal/118118/118118.swf">download me!</a>

in a text file, save as temp.html on your desktop, load into a browser, right click -> save link as...

They got some free publicity out of the BBC by standing two people in front of the scoreboard on Wimbledon Centre Court, in 118 T-shirts and such ludicrously 1970s (but still just about plausibly real) moustaches and wigs that during a break in the action the commentators, er, commented on them, accompanied by big close-up shot. Nice media hack.

That was fantastic! Those guys get major props for that. Very funny/clever

It's weird seeing the guys in black hugging them at the end

Mac IE has one killer feature. Enter a URL and press option+enter and it downloads it. Why can't all browsers do that?

Did anybody save either the 118 or the matrix ping pong movies? The 118 site appears to be down, and I'd rather have a copy of both, anyway.

The 118118 vid is also at their "official" site, along with some other stuff that isn't quite as funny:
