Bruce Boudreau's new Mercedes ads
I don't want to overplay these new American Service Center Mercedes ads, starring Bruce Boudreau (and, in one case, Ryan Zimmerman). I just think you should watch them. I think this strongly.
(They were filmed at the D.C. Improv in mid-September, and will start airing next week. They're obviously a continuation of the similarly themed radio ads Ryan Zimmerman did last spring.)

After seeing these 2 ads, I'll stick to my 1973 Cuda '340 and my 1999 Jeep Cherokee.

I forgot the name of the talent, but it is not Morgan Freeman doing the voiceover. It sure sounds like him, though.

OK, one of these guys works in a glass enclosed box (not a studio) and the other works in a pasture. Don't they get enough exposure without exposing their ineptitude?

Flashback to 2005 --
"Bruce, if you EVER get a gig as head coach in the big time, what will be your priority?"
"Heck, I'll shill any darn product that pays me money (or gives me free cars)."
