Screw Hawk Man-X with his buddies jumping around in their briefs to the theme song of RISKY BUSINESS promoting Rock Band. I was never an admirer of that silliness for sure even if it did star Hawk Man-X himself, the other P-Rod, Michael Phelps and Kobe Bryant. And screw the latest ADIDAS ad titled “House Party” starring the Gonz, Missy Elliot, David Beckham, Kevin Garnett, and a bunch of other who like to rock the Trefoil and Stripes. Although that one was pretty fresh and not so cheesy.
But when it comes to commercials bringing on the heat with celebrity after celebrity after celebrity in relatively small cameo roles, this new Playstation 3 advertisement for SKATE 2 takes the cake. Sure the general public most likely won’t be able to identify more than half the skaters featured for the new video game, but for those who do know, there are some heavy dudes in this spot. I don’t even care for video games and I still want to get myself a copy of SKATE 2.
Anyway, the commercial plays more like a movie or at least an HBO series that takes place in a prison. And correct me if I’m wrong, but is that DJ Q-Bert at 2:12 carrying a mentally disabled Jason Dill?
