...who very nearly steals the show, and definitely takes the ad from good to great . If you've ever seen (Improvised Shakespeare, Baby Wants Candy) improvise, he's one funny motherfucker, and his character work is the best around. Hearing him mutter, "Nope, nope, nope" as he's walking away is priceless. We a while ago, and we can only imagine that he and Pally both homered at their auditions for this ad. Nice jobs, fellas.

Excellent job for those two comedians! I've seen those commercials on tv quite often. The interesting thing is that you basically can't choose an incorrect choice. You basically win every time!
