Adweek's Eleftheria Parpis enjoyed this cross-promo spot by Hill, Holliday for SpikeTV's Pros vs. Joes and Dunkin' Donuts. I find it creepy. Ex-college football coach and sportscaster Barry Switzer pops out from behind a tree and babbles about "ball protection" and "rocks" to a couple of young guys. He’s also carrying around a football dressed as a baby. One of the dudes IDs Switzer in an awkward fashion, perhaps in an attempt to let the audience in on the joke, but Barry still just seems like a naughty, nutty old man bugging folks in the park.
