Watch Kenny Powers Become the MFCEO of K Swiss in Awesome New Commercial
by Richard Sharp
Somebody over at K Swiss is going to either get fired, or get a really big-ass raise.
The sneaker company recently released an awesomely hilarious five-minute video commercial that plays out like a short new episode of "Eastbound and Down," with foul-mouthed fictional spokesperson Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) becoming MFCEO (it means what you think it does) of the company.
I'm not sure what I like more - just how hilarious and kick-ass this commercial is, or the simple fact that someone has the cojones enough to put the thing out. It seems as if K Swiss is willing to double down on the comically profane ads after a series of previous short ads featuring Kenny Powers brought them impressive results.
According to Fast Company, the previous "videos earned millions of views online (a million on FunnyorDie), resulted in a 1256% increase in Facebook fans and landed the brand atop the 'biggest buzz' list in industry trade Footwear News."
Whatever the reasoning, I'm down for Kenny Powers wherever I can get him, and in this new video, he gets some high-profile help from Mark Cuban, Michael Bay, Matt Cassel, Jillian Michaels and MMA champ Jon “Bones” Jones. It's too bad Kenny lost the corn rows, but you can't have everything, hombre. Never mind - maybe you can - this commercial has Kenny Powers as a Transformer. Booyah!
Check out the new Kenny Powers K Swiss ad below. Oh yeah, and in case you didn't know, this one is definitely NSFW. Konnichiwa, b$%^hes!
Tip o' the hat to Yidio friend Brad Lenahan for the heads up on this one.
