Getting nailed in the nuts with a bowling ball is always funny.

Whoa. I remember these ads like they were from a year ago. Bizarre. It's sad to see that WAMU is no more.

Hey, isn't "Paul" that one guy from 30 Rock?

Hahaha, yes it is, #3! And he looks about the same 12 years on. Guess he's one of those guys like Judge Reinhold or Brad Whitford; they look old when they're young, and their looks never change as they age.

They're not that old. I remember the other one, with the brutally honest guy (Steel Magnolias - I bawled, man) from only a couple of years ago: http://consumerist.com/5055526/video-wamu-ad-has-new-dark-meaning
