Evil Shatner is no match for Shatner himself
William Shatner is always at his best when he's pretending to be his own evil twin. So, it was good to see him goatee up for this new Priceline commercial from Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners, in which the Negotiator squares off against his darker half (who looks disturbingly like Rip Torn). The funniest thing about this ad, though, is the first YouTube comment it elicited: "Is he really the 'good' twin? After all, he did just cut a hole in the side of that guy's house to tell him that he could save $80."
