My new favorite television commercial

This bumps the Wendy's "Raaaaaaaaaaanch" and Starbucks "Glen's the man...going to work" ads as the new personal favorite (though it still does not top Geico's "Tiny House" spot):

 

I. DON'T. WANT. YOUR. LIFE.

after a gtb mini-summit on the basketball court last night, i've decided that our run needs more mediocre, short, old guys so i have people i can check.

T.J. said...

I need new knees.

Geoff said...

I'm in the market for a new Achilles..and two more hours of sleep.

Mark said...

As much as I enjoy telling people that "I DON'T WANT YOUR LIFE.", my new favorite commercial is the Geico ad with the Camel walking around his office on Wednesday. HUMP DAY!

rob said...

usmnt and nba finals action this evening. good, good times.

zman said...

But no TMNT.

Mark said...

Who are you kidding, Rob? You'll be asleep before either game ends.

rob said...

i *am* feeling a bit sleep deprived. but i think i'll make the end of the usmnt game.

Clarence said...

Staggered into Kelly's last night in time for the bikini contest. Oh, my. What I remember of it makes me shudder and laugh.

rob said...

big day, mets fans. harvey and wheeler. the future is now. 'cept for that offense, of course.

Jerry said...

Generation K-2. Looking like it's going to dominate the league.

Jerry said...

The Danny Green for Finals MVP story is fascinating (to me). It would be almost unprecedented. Almost every player to win the Finals MVP is a 100% HoF lock or at least All-NBA material. Out of 44 Finals MVPs, only guy who wasn't a perennial all-star is Cedric Maxwell

The next "worst" players are: JoJo White, Dennis Johnson, James Worthy, Joe Dumars, and Chauncey Billups.

After that it's Paul Pierce and Tony Parker. And after that, it's all MVP (or seem like they should be MVP) guys.

T.J. said...

Not to nitpick, but I think Paul Pierce and Tony Parker are easily better than JoJo White, Dennis Johnson and Chauncey Billups.

Mark said...

Agree with JoJo and Chauncey. Not on DJ though. Underrated historically.

T.J. said...

We can start going Basketball Reference on this, but as much as I do love Dennis Johnson, both Paul Pierce and Tony Parker have had (and will have) better careers than DJ.

TR said...

I agree Teej, but only if we don't include freckles.

T.J. said...

I mean, christ, if freckles are included, DJ is only surpassed by Jeremy Hyatt in Hall of Fame voting.

zman said...

Cedric Maxwell's circumcision story is one of the funniest things I ever heard on radio.

T.J. said...

will he be an upcoming guest on "Zman and The Teej"? I heard a local Atlanta sports talker has a new opening for a morning show duo.

Jerry said...

I started with the worst players and then worked up to the better players.

I should probably have added a few more guys to the Pierce-Parker tier like Unseld, Reed, Barry, and Wade. Still all clear HoFers though.

rob said...

i do not know the cornbread bris story. care to share?

Shlara said...

OMG--I love this commercial with Mox! Not as much as I love QB1 Lance, but pretty close.

Dave said...

i am loving the "soul with a hole" mix-up, zman. thanks.

His mother has some balls.

zman said...

Tim Duncan is still good at basketball.

Mark said...

Indeed. That was an epic first half by him.

zman said...

D-Nice! I'm takin out ya suckers and you don't know how I did it.

zman said...

Simmons has hands like a girl.

rob said...

that maxwell story is preposterous

zman said...

I don't know if that clip has the whole thing. In the end he's still upset he didn't get ice cream.

zman said...

So ... Aaron Hernandez lives in North Addleboro? And he kills people?

zman said...

Removing lebron's headband cold be the key to this series.

Marls said...

Miami is populated with douchebags.

Mark said...

Two very true statements.

Shlara said...

F-ing LeBron
Why does he need to ruin the night for Duncan?

zman said...

Lebron looks ten times tougher sans headband.

Marls said...

Met wins for Wheeler & Harvey, a win by the USMNT, why does David Stern have to call in the fix to ruin a perfect night?

Shlara said...

Tony Parker--wow

zman said...

Duncan!

Shlara said...

oh
my
God

Mark said...

This game isn't bad.

zman said...

Why did they need a replay? Is it mandatory?

zman said...

And how shook is Kawhi Leonard?

Marls said...

I think Rob went to bed.

Shlara said...

Bosh may have saved his career with that rebound

zman said...

I have to get up early tomorrow.

Marls said...

Bosh still looks like the love child of Willie McGee and Dave Chappelle.

Marls said...

How do NBA players not stand up and beat the everliving shit out of the loser fans behind the road bench?

zman said...

Marls, when did you stop rocking the headband?

zman said...

Is ginobili allowed to take four steps like Ewing?

Marls said...

Manu took about 8 steps before he allegedly got fouled.

Marls said...

Get out of my brain Z. It's messy in there.

Shlara said...

the Miami fans don't deserve a game 7 in their arena

Marls said...

I think I need to start rocking the headband and having white outs in the office.

zman said...

Sniffing white out?

Marls said...

Miami fans don't even deserve professional sports. Front running, pajama wearing, douchebags.

Marls said...

Do the even make White Out anymore? If not, what is Mike Nesmith's mom doing for cash?

Marls said...

Good morning Rob. Hope you slept well. You missed a hell of an ending.

Jerry said...

That was a seriously awesome basketball game.
