This is like a double-negative... they're making a spoof of a comedy and that's not funny - it's just called "unoriginal"!
Dang it. I was at work so I couldn't listen to it. All the written words were in English. I was definitely thinking ripoff the whole time during that Cavs commercial.
I found it funny. I wonder how much of it was scripted and how much was improvised by the players. Delonte smelling the shoes to me had the best bit. I'm glad they didn't focus too much on Lebron and that he was just one of the guys.
It was hillarious the whole point was to copy the heneiken commercial but i guess some people don't get it It was funny with West smelling the shoe and Lebron using the shoe like a baseball bat lol
Please, it is not ripping off the Heineken commercial. It is a tribute to the Heineken commercial. There's a difference. I think it is funny...or at least the last 30 seconds. The first minute of it is entirely pointless. The short version is better.
I don't think it was intended as a spoof as spoofs are usually created off of things that are very well known. For example, "Epic Movie" is a spoof. "The Departed," is simply the lack creativity in Hollywood. Anyhow, TNT showed this commercial on Game 4 of Pistons vs Cavs, and announcers said that LBJ claimed it was his idea. Tho one could say that it was LBJ's idea to make a spoof.
Speak for yourself. If the Rockets did this, I'm sure you will still enjoy it. And I'm sure there will be others who would still call it unoriginal. Not everyone has the same standards.
