Lance commercials

Okay, I gotta admit I'm digging the Lance/Alphonse commercials. Every time I read a fanboy post, I get a picture of Alphonse sitting at a computer feverishly typing to defend the boss.

"GET OFF MY BIKE, Alphonse!"

Me too... but it's because of Alfonse, not Lance. Alfonso rocks.

"Some say the weight gain in training was too much to overcome..."

Like Lance would seriously tolerate someone like that working for him.

I like both. I wonder if Lance really kinda feels that way about some of the blind fanboys out there.

Agreed, they grew on me. For those who understand old school humor, Lance is the straight man. He's the Bud Abbott to Lou Costello (Alphonse). The one thing Lance really added was the scowl when he said, "Whoa, LOL? Don't make me get off this bike." That's something I could easily see Bud do. My favorite is when Alphonse says, "I'm going to go with P-o. No that doesn't look right. I'm going to spell check it."

I like the nervous tension inherent in the ad where Nissan features Lance with the headline: "Discover the science behind legendary performance"

Either somebody is seriously stupid at Nissan or somebody has a wicked sense of humor.
