Symetra "Fred Willard"

Dating back to his stint on Fernwood Tonight, Fred Willard has made a brilliant career of playing doltish people. And he’s just as good at it in a series of Web videos (via Copacino + Fujikado) for Symetra Financial, targeting retirees and near-retirees. We get to listen in as Willard’s character discourses to a bemused grandson about the nature of old age. For instance, his 60s were a blur — not because they went by quickly, but because he had the wrong prescription for his glasses.
