Let’s Go Back to the Future Once Again with Blake Griffin
The Deadpan Dunker is at it again, traveling back in time for two new spots with hisfaux-DeLorean Kia Optima. In this latest series from David&Goliath, Blake Griffin tar-gets his younger self in 2006 and 2002 to impart wisdom on lifting weights and wearingsunblock. He listens to a little Sean Paul. And he wears the genius red jumpsuit withthe griffin logo.
One of the best campaigns on TV continues with more quality spots. Most athletes can’tact, but Blake’s straight-faced delivery and self-deprecation puts him ahead of everycompetitor out there. He also listens to Eiffel 65 and used to wear jean shorts, so there’sthat. And if you need proof of commitment to the brand, he won the 2010 NBA SlamDunk Contest by dunking over a Kia Optima as a gospel choir serenaded the crowd.Cliff Paul’s mustache can’t compete with that. Credits and the second ad after the jump.
