Kudos to the marketing genius who conceptualized it and the big wigs who okayed it and cut Patrick Ewing a check. You remember Ewing right? One of the colossal, great centers of yesteryear when everybody in the NBA was godly and basketball was the sport to watch? I wonder what Pat was doing when he received the call to come dunk on some poor unsuspecting stranger? Was he getting it on with some stripper whore full on scandal style, or was he donning Angel wings for his next big movie role? Who knows, but he is back on the radar in one of the funniest commercials ever.
This is kinda old but I can’t stop watching it and the more I watch it the more I want a Snickers… damn you evil candy bar, damn you to hell with your chocolate armor, chewy caramel insides and filling peanuts. I remember when kids used to hustle Snickers back in Jr. High school and make a pretty penny off of fiends like me who couldn’t get fat if we tried to… ahh the metabolism of youth. So what’s up with that jacked up Gumby fro on Ewing’s head? It’s part of the comedy next to that nasty smug, smirk he gives the kids after planting his nuts on his face during that dunk. It’s just mean man, damn mean, but I love it.
