So everyone’s seen that Dos Equis beer commercial where the scary old guy talks about how he’s “The Most Interesting Man In The World.” Well Steve Nash, the awesome human being that he is, took that promo and flipped it on its head to bring us Steve Nash Is The Most Ridiculous Man In The World, advertising Vitamin Water XXX.
When you can’t come up with a new angle, why not take someone else’s idea and make it ridiculous? Then have Steve Nash star in it for good measure. Hopefully more ridiculous promo parodies are on the way! Now I need to go buy some Vitamin Water.
