Has anyone else seen the new Snickers advert with Mr T. driving a tank?

It's genius.

Discuss.

I agree, it's rather fantastic. Mr T makes all things 500% more awesome.

I was talking to Ellis abotu this on Monday night I think. It's an instant classic.

Mr. T hates golf so much he slapped half the black out of Tiger Woods.

[The Kraig]

Yeah, golf balls used to be black before Mr. T showed up.

Holy shit that is amazing. Best commercial I've seen in months.

Reading his biography on Wiki brings up some damn funny facts about T....

'For about ten years, Mr. T was a bodyguard to the stars, protecting such well-known personalities as Muhammad Ali, Steve McQueen, Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee, Joe Frazier, and Diana Ross. He charged around $3,000 a day and his business card famously read, "Next to God, there is no greater protector than I."'

'In 1970 he changed his name by deed poll from Lawrence Tureaud to Lawrence Tero, and then in 1980, to Mr. T so that people would have to address him as "Mr." He has stated that the period is his "middle name."'

'During his stint as a doorman, he would take jewelry from disorderly people and wear it himself as a testament to how well he performed his job as a bouncer.'

'In 1984, he made a motivational video called Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool!. He gives helpful advice to children throughout the video; for example, he teaches them how to understand and appreciate their origins, how to dress fashionably without buying designer labels, how to make tripping up look like breakdancing, how to control their anger, and how to deal with peer pressure.'

I actually own a copy of "Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool." It is simply amazing, one of the most hilariously bad things I've ever seen.

Chuck Norris > Mr. T., however, Mr. T. is awesome on many levels.

That ad is great. I liked the Snickers to the head.

Bwahahaha, I remember seeing that on "Re-Unite The A-Team" and frantically searching for it the next day. I eventually found it, but shitty quality. It's hilariously awesome.

Yeah, the best bit is quite obviously the snickers to the head.
