J.K. Simmons Keeps It In The Marvel Family With This Farmers Insurance ‘Avengers’ Ad

Farmers Insurance has a new ad featuring J.K. Simmons and his usual TV crew dressed up as characters from The Avengers. What does Farmers Insurance have to do with the The Avengers? I’m not 100% sure, and watching the ad didn’t help, but there was a cool explosion. Plus, it’s good to see Simmons, a veteran of the original Spider-Man films, keeping it in the Marvel family. DC is for losers.

Yup, Tim From ‘Tim And Eric’ Can Make A Weirder Herman Cain Ad Than Herman Cain Can

Well, in case you thought Herman Cain would go unchallenged in the competition for “weirdest campaign ad ever,” you can rest assured that he barely had the title for 24 hours before Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric fame stood up and said, “Not so fast there, Herm.”

(He calls Herman Cain “Herm” in this little parable.)

This droning song and video has me wanting to slowly march outside, through oncoming traffic, to find the nearest polling place so that I may “ride the Cain train” with a vote for Herman Cain. For President. 2012.

Do you think that if Cain lost the presidential election but won the title of “YouTube Sensation” that he would consider his campaign a victory? Lord knows I would. This guy hasn’t been on my radar for very long, but he’s really been entertaining.

Way funnier than George W. Bush and that whole “there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq” vaudeville act he pulled 10 years ago. That got old quick.

Conan O’Brien’s ‘Flying Circus’ Promo for TBS

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Promos for Conan O’Brien’s new show are now airing on TBS, and for hardcore comedy dorks, things are looking up. That’s because the ad is very reminiscent of "Monty Python‘s Flying Circus," specifically, the animated shorts of director Terry Gilliam.

Whether or not the style was intentional is irrelevant. The result is the same either way. Monty Python fans are with Coco. Although that was probably true before the ad, as well. (Cinema Blend)

Watch O’Brien’s Pythonesque ad after the jump…
