And here I thought Hoffnapping was about James getting a short amount of sleep between endless caffeination
It's important to understand that Tommy Lee Jones is *the face* of mass-market coffee in Japan, Boss has been using him in all of their coffee ads since 2006, so 18 years.
Tommy Lee Jones has this strange power to make anything mildly interesting
Feel like Pacino was gonna say cocaine was the 2nd thing he knew, then he realized he shouldn't say that.
The Boss/Tommy Lee Jones commercial was great to see. Just last week, I had some visitors from Japan who I spent hours in the car driving to various touristy places. With limited English, they asked me about a movie called Men in Black and who was the lead actor. I said Will Smith? They said no... the other actor. I said Tommy Lee Jones? They said yes. I asked how did they know him. They said because he is famous for commercials for coffee in Japan! So here I get to watch them with Mr. Hoffmann. So very timely.
I really hoped in the last ad Clooney would ask for the lady's shoes in exchange for the coffee, that would have elevated the whole set to a 10/10
Hoffmann, Hoffman and The Hoff, finally together. I never thought I’d see the day
You know this means you need to make a real ad now. James starts the day with bed hair, tired, not ready for the day. Next shot, pulls out a bag of Square Mile beans with a Fresh Beans for James post it note stuck on the front. James spends 30 minutes faffing about prepping the perfect espresso. Takes sip. Hair springs into place. Fade to Square Mile logo. Not a single word is said through the entire ad.
Are we going to ignore the fact they missed a trick with the 'Al Cappuccino'???
your reaction to the Corden ad was absolutely perfectly on-point
