In a fresh series of Capital One ads from DDB Chicago that broke over the weekend, Spike Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and the newly minted Round Mound of Sit Around (aka Charles Barkley) hit the highway again for the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four.

By now the three amigos have grown so close, they can finish each other's sentences (somewhat) and have even begun dressing alike (which is to say badly)—or as Slam-Chunk (Barkley) would say, "Hashtag #Twinning!"
