Sybil: You could have had them both done by now if you hadn't spent the whole morning skulking in there listening to that racket.
Basil: Racket?! That's Brahms! Brahms' Third Racket!

It reminds me a lot of the Kool-Aid commercials! I loved this and watched it like 900 times really fast back to back.

That kid can pull a mean take.

Or is that single-take?

Or double-take-pro?

Either way, he pulls a good one.

Gotta hand it to the Ad Council. They tend to make the most interesting ads which don't sell garbage.

@shahryarrakeen:

The Ad Council is good, but the ads are made by the same people that sell the garbage as day jobs. I'm always pleased to see that the advertising industry's creativity even better expressed without their corporate overlords "helping."

I find it a racist and offensive stereotype. Since this is so similar to a kool-aid commercial, what is next, parody a Popeye's or KFC commercial?

Re: #2 (Zuzu) --- Love it! I remember seeing that episode of "Fawlty Towers" when I was a wee one, and I STILL think "That's Brams' Third Racket!" whenever I heard his symphony #3.

And now, some bad attempts at humor:

Do you like Brahms?
I don't know. What are they?

Do you like Joplin?
I don't know. How do you "jopple"?

Do you like Kipling?
I don't know. How do you "kipple"?

... and so forth...
