Terrible Commercials (MLYT)
January 30, 2012 7:50 PM   Subscribe

Trale Lewous advertises Skittles. Over and over again. Also M&Ms, Snickers, Twizzlers, and Butterfingers.

He does this without getting paid for it, apparently, although he lobbied for and eventually received a vending machine. And a boom box.

Lewous is the creation of Nathan Barnatt, an LA area improvisational comedian who also likes to dance, and apparently knows a damn good video editor.

I really like the ironically balding look. It is like "yeah I'm balding, but it is part of my thing". More men should own going bald instead of shaving to try to hide it.

Surprisingly, his dancing isn't that much different from the aerobics in the post a few days ago.

I've never seen such a pretty vending machine as the one he received. Is that a standard Skittles machine?

The dancing link was pretty awesome. Way better than the skittles stuff...

Oh my... you are talking about one of my (and my kids) favourite youtube people. Who could forget:

Oh Girl
Going Ostrich
The no-bones dance

That dancing one was incredible. It's so gloriously silly that it kind of comes out the other side as really cool.

I liked it. It's also a little too similar to Steve Brule.

Thanks for posting this Ipsefendus. I normally don't like "physical" comedians but he is strang and infectious and I can't stop watching the first "boombox" video. It's so happy.

As a balding man who decided to shave instead of trying to cling to any last vestiges of hair I had left (didn't shave it clean, just down to a 1) - IMO it just looks better shaved than bald+long. I owned my baldness by not having a combover and/or bald-mullet :P
