Title: Nike's Derek Jeter ad, featuring Tom
Post by: erg79 on July 14, 2014, 07:20:34 PM: I rolled my eyes when I read that Nike put out an ad with lots of celebrities and other athletes all tipping their caps to Derek Jeter. Then I was shocked when I saw this:

I won't ruin it by saying who else appears in the ad. Let's just say it's even funnier for Best Show fans.

Thank you for that. I almost did a legitimate spit-take after seeing the animules participating in the ad.

Not by Tom, but Tom has done a State Farm commercial for the agency that put this one together.

Would you happen to have a link to the State Farm commercial? Never seen it!

Pretty funny that the guy at :41 is the same project as tom.

Post by: JeSStradiol on September 08, 2014, 12:02:44 PM: That's too funny. Right before I watched this I was listening to the instalment where Tom had a Mets and Yankee fan come into the studio to fight.

Post by: houseofschwartz on September 10, 2014, 11:37:55 AM: I saw this ad on TV 50 times and never noticed. Then I was at Yankee Stadium and saw the ad on the massive screen, and said, i'll be damned, its Tom Scharpling! Best show theme at Fenway during the World Series, now this.

Amazing
