For its latest spot from ad agency Being in New York, Wheat Thins has enlisted a famous pair of spokes-cartoons: Brian and Stewie from Family Guy. And since Wheat Thins' current slogan is "Do what you do" (don't ask me how that's supposed to sell crunchy wheat snacks), this commercial shows the highly verbal baby and his disgruntled canine companion doing what they do best—which is, of course, fighting.

In this case, they're fighting over Stewie's bizarre pronunciation of "wheat."
