Sprint commercials with James Earl Jones & Malcom McDowell

These commercials make me laugh when the two start gibbering back and forth in today's young people's language which might as we'll be Greek to me.

The commercials are alright. James nails it. Malcolm is not quite there. But..what is with the shoes?

I LOVE the Sprint commercials with James and Malcom! I bet they had fun doing the ads.

I know who Jones is, but I thought the white-haired guy was Steve Martin.

LOL, I recognised McDowell but had no idea who the other guy was

Count me in, I love those two actors and the commercials are too funny

Hurting? I don't think so. Malcolm McDowell, age 70, has had a recurring role on The Mentalist and has numerous films in the works. See the list on imbd:

James Earl Jones will be 83 next week and still working with several movies going. I assume he will never be hurting, what with his residuals from Star Wars.

I don't get the point of the commercial, but either could recite the phone book to me and I would be enthralled. Some of the best voices of a generation.

I'm just the opposite. I think they are really dumb and irritating. I told DH, they must have paid those 2 a boat-load of money for them to get on t.v. & do those stupid commercials. I guess if you're paid enough $$$, you'll stoop to any level. It's really beneath them, I think.

ITA!!

I love those commercials - the first time I saw one, I was "huh"? Now, I think it is pure gold - marketing genius!!

and to get 2 wonderful actors who can make the reading of a dictionary exciting is so smart

I can't stand those commercials - & I just don't get it either, don't think they sell the product very well. I mute the channel when they're on, all too frequently it seems!

I did like the ads at first...love to hear their voices. But, now they are on so frequently, that I am sick of them. And am not really sure that they are doing a good job of selling the product???

The same for me, I immediately hit the mute button when they come on.It's like finger nails on a chalk board to me.
