They go to an awful lot of trouble with makeup and give him THE lamest lines. Just a terrible execution.
I actually like Stephanie Courteney (Flo), and the GEICO Gekko I find charming. I even like Peyon Manning's ad. When he bites into his chicken parm...I can almost taste it. The rest of these are awful to me.
But I do like The Most Interesting Man in the World!
