Jonah Hill may have perfected the art of the intentionally awful ad.
The Hollywood star anchors this two-minute infomercial for London-based skateboarding brand Palace.

The centerpiece is an upcoming sneaker collaboration between the shop and "some sportswear company called Reebok"—or "Ree-boke," as Hill hilariously pronounces it.
