Griffey and Ichiro Bring the Funny in New Mariners Commercials

Probably you know that the Mariners have been doing "funny" commercials for more than a decade now. The spots had been getting a little stale, but rely on Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro to bring back the funny.

No embed, but here's the link to the legitimately hilarious commercial called "Meaningful Moments." Simple concept, really well done.

There are a couple of other winners among the other four commercials, by Seattle agency Copacino+Fujikado, and shot and directed by Mercer Island's Blue Goose Productions.

Don Wakamatsu and Jack Zduriencik have their golf game interrupted in "Running Catch."

David Aardsma has a dubious idea for his bullpen mates in "Immortalized."

Then these two, which didn't really do it for me.

Ryan Rowland-Smith once again gets questionable advice from a marketing exec in "The Next Big Thing."

And Cliff Lee gets ribbed about his name by Felix Hernandez and Chone Figgins in "What's in a Name."

After you're done, check out the blooper reel.

thanks for the links!
i've been looking forward to RRS's commercial for awhile, hoping it would be better than last year's. guess i'll have to be satisfied with the griffey/ichiro spot.

The Earl for Lee/King/Figgins is wrong, I believe.

And I found that one rather pleasant.
