anybody seen the new Leslie Neilson commercial (1 Viewer)

[JohnS]

Leslie Neilson is in a new commercial, but I forgot the name of the company he is advertising for.
It's really quite funny, with him playing the bumbling customer service guy.
getting his phone cord tangled up around a customer service woman, while he is busy talking and walking towards the camera.
Calling another customer service woman by a guys name, be he thinks it's someon else.
Really funny. GLad to see him playing that kind of part again.
Only if it is in a TV commerical

The commercial is for 1-800-Medicare, and there are two of them.
In the other commercial, Leslie (wearing a hospital gown) is in a hospital room with tons of equipment, and he starts playing around with the stuff while he gives his pitch. Quite funny.

I don't know... this stuff was funny when it was first done in Airplane and the countless sequels and spin offs, but it just doesn't seem funny anymore - too predictable. Not his fault, he's as good as ever. But the material has been done to death.

 

[Gary Kellerman]

Well it is actually "Drebin does Medicare" as a dispenser of medicare info, "sort of". Maybe the idea is that people should buy life insurance before contacting medicare in case they get "Drebin" on the phone for medicare advice.

I think they're funny actually, but I don't know how good advertisements they are... would you trust this company?
By the way... MAN, Leslie Nielsen is bowlegged!
