Pelicans players serve owner dinner in cringe-worthy pregame video

[Andynola]

I have to agree - this is pretty bad....

So bad it's worse the second time lol but you can't turn away from a car wreck

[RaisingTheBar]

They should have just played the bloopers the whole time instead of the regular commercial. That would have at least been entertaining.

[kclaboy504]

Wow

[Andynola]

Jrue dropping the bread is the best part.

[DroopyDawg]

It was hard to watch. I do think they had an absolute BLAST filming it though. That "blooper" clip that they showed during the game showed us how much fun they were having.

Yep. Monty couldn't keep a straight face saying his lines.

I think the "I pledge to be tobacco and smoke free" commercial last year was worse. It was terribly corny and non-genuine. But every team has ridiculous local commercials, nothing new.

[Tomdda]

I'm apparently the only one that liked it. It was supposed to be non-serious, it was supposed to be fun. They're not actors after all.

monty may be the worse actor ive seen in my life

The exact opposite of AD. He just looks like he belongs in front of a camera. The look he gave Monty when he mentioned the star thing was the only time I laughed during the commercial that wasn't making fun of it.

[RUFshreve]

That was hilarious.

[CarnbY]

Hahaha, that was so bad it was good!

edit: smh at all the comments saying it's racist... Didn't even cross my mind. I wonder if the people who see racism think of chefs and waiters as their slaves when they eat out.

[jrdbrn]

LOL at everyone saying it's racist. I guess Ryno is Michael Jackson black.

[AD23nEG10]

you almost have to think its intentionally bad its THAT bad. side note... how was the intro video this year for those at the game?

[nolaslim213]

They did it bad on purpose, because it's funnier that way.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

I juat can't believe some people made comment about this video being racist.

[djpaul89]

Agree with Nola, I think the bad/corny acting was purposeful

Who said it was racists besides the writer of that article? PBT trying to be ESPNTMV doing anything to get clicks.

Ignore it and focus on the terrible acting video. Monty is so atrocious you have to keep looking at it.

[JJackisangry]

OMG I have something in common with someone. I would add PW (RIP) to that list if he were still alive.

I read the comments on the article.

I LOVED the video. They were stressing the value of a TEAM putting out a good product under stress. Would any other players in the NBA agree to put out such a cheesy, scripted video? I doubt it. These guys are young, refreshing and on board. My daughter is a chef in the Besh Restaurant Group and I GET the analogy. My nominations: Best Actor, AD (Loved his expressiveness), Best supporting actors, Tyreke Evans(the way he plated the sauce) Eric Gordon (The way he dashed the hot sauce), and Jrue Holiday (The way Mr. smooth dropped the bread). Producers: John Besh and Tom Benson: Best Screenwriter: (Whoever wrote the lines for Monty and Tom Benson).
PRICELESS!
