It may be a quarter of a century since The A-Team left our screens but that hasn’t stopped Mr T from becoming the advertising industry’s go-to guy for hocking their wares.
He’s popped up in numerous advertising campaigns, most notably the snickers ‘Get some nuts’ series, but now he’s showing his fluffier, doing an infomercial for a T-shirt company.
Old Navy needed a way of getting some attention for their wares, and what better way than pairing 80s icon Mr T with pint-sized Anna Farris of Scary Movie series fame.
The spot for Best-Tees is two minutes of entertainment, not afraid get the former boxer to engage in a gentle embrace while exclaiming that ‘we’re adorable!’.
According to the ad, the T-shirts are: “the greatest, most softest, best-fitting tee in the history of everything”. Apparently there even more soft and fluffy than baby chicks, kittens and puppies if the ad’s infographic is to be believed.
Farris is pretty impressive in the ad too, she starts off by confessing that her previous T-shirts: “made me a real dillweed”.
Refuse to believe the Mohawk-sporting hard man would get involved in such unbridled ‘silliness’? The just watch the video.
