The hits keep coming for BBDO New York and Foot Locker. Yesterday saw the release of the agency’s second spot in the “Short Memory” series, which launched last week by partnering James Harden with old-school NBA names Scottie Pippen and Charles “I’m Not a Role Model” Barkley.
In the newest episode, which first appeared on sports blogs yesterday and already has nearly two million views, Harden moves beyond the basketball comfort zone by chatting with down-on-his-luck soccer star Landon Donovan.
The spot doubles the humor: Donovan conveniently “forgets” both the fact that he’s been cut and that Clint Dempsey is now the team’s captain.
Yahoo Sports, of all places, also notes that this isn’t the first time Donovan has capitalized on his own bad luck by playing the joker…
Laughing all the way to the bank, this guy.
