Every sports blog already noticed this, I realize, but I thought I'd make fun of two of the "Ten Things I Think I Think" in Peter King's column this past Monday:
g. I could watch the Frank Caliendo stuff about a hundred more times. He's funnier today than Belushi was 30 years ago. He's even got GeorgeBush's facial expressions down pat. I mean, they're perfect.Um, what?h. And did I mention how great the Parcells-Coors Light-Bigfoot ad is? It's the best one of the entire series, particularly when Parcells, after being asked if he believes in Bigfoot, says, "I'd have to see some visual evidence,'' and there's Bigfoot, in the $17.95 Bigfoot costume.
Caliendo's impressions are accurate, I'll give him that. But I've never seen him do anything funny with any of them. And, it's not like Dubya, Nicholson, and Pacino are exactly original or difficult to do. It also doesn't help that the same commercials have run about 750,000 times in the last week, giving Frank a "his father is the district attorney" problem. That, and his "Bush" looks more like Rush Limbaugh than the president.
As for Coors... those "press conference" ads are just dumb. And the Bigfoot bit is the lamest one of all.
