This commercial is highly amusing to a certain panda; especially since the company is usually so budget. Apparently they dropped $3 million for this Super Bowl spot. I guess they are not so budget after all.
Slate's Seth Stevenson seemed to imply that using both Ed McMahon and MC Hammer to demonstrate a need for cash was old hat, but I found their performances highly entertaining. Who better than two dudes who notoriously lost their fortunes to find a niche in commercials that make fun of them? (I mean, a gold toilet? Come on!) How much are they getting paid?!
Also spotted: this ridiculous article about Cash4Gold on Boing Boing. Apparently pandas aren't the only ones who like infomercials.
