Video: Tim & Eric ad for Saints Row: The Third

















Video-game series "Saint's Row" has long been seen as a "Grand Theft Auto" clone but is desperate to step out of its older brothers shadow and to show the world it has some kind of personality of its own. "Saints Row: The Third" seems to have dropped the ghetto-gangsta theme and gone overboard on personality. So much so that the game is filled with flashy nonsensical characters and elements and seems to be all over the place including random Adult-Swim characters, octopus guns, etc. It kind of has gone weird for the sake of being weird. Like the guy at a party w/ a snake ("Oh, this old thing?"). In an attempt to grab attention they have created a number of "viral" commercials but went to the best of the best to make this one, Tim & Eric.

Tim & Eric Show: Great Job has been on a long hiatus but it is good to see they are starting to pump some new stuff out. A 12-minute commercial/film/skit? Whatever it is... its good stuff.
