It is amazing after all this time to see Michael Jordan still starring in Hanes commercials.
It has been several years, after all, since MJ led the Bulls to all those NBA championships.
MJ always knew a winner when he saw one though, and you can include his most recent ads as another in his "win" column.
The ad I like best is when the guy sitting next to him on a plane points over at another fellow a row over who is plagued by a "bacon neck" t-shirt.
The other gentleman, who can't hear that he is being dissed, nevertheless points out his sloppy collar that resembles frying bacon.
Jordan's genius in his playing days is that he would allow a "hot" teammate to take over the game...if occasionally...and if the teammate could be counted on to come through in the clutch.
Jordan's teammate in the Hanes commercial, a lanky fellow, played it like Scottie Pippen with his ability to elicit laughs in the ad.
"We're like brothers" he proudly states to Jordan because they are both free of bacon "necktivity", thanks of course, to Hanes.
"No we're not" Jordan deadpans.
"Yeah we are" the fellow squeaks in a fading tone.
Yes they are brothers, in this brilliant if simple ad.
What are some of your favorite commercials? And why? Do they make you laugh, cry?
Let me know and I will tty tomm!
I love this commercial! MJ doesn't even need to say much. It's the looks on his face and his body language. He's great!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite commercials are the one with the "man cold", (so very true to life) and the Old Spice ones. Oh, and the GEICO commercials which are very clever and funny.
