This commercial irks me no end. Does Ben Stein always talk this unintelligibly?The way he says whatever he is saying after "and we're handcuffed together"- makes him sound falldown drunk and/or ready to slip into a coma. Does Comcast really think this is going to entice me to subscribe to their service?!

Ben Sheiss, I mean Stein, is a washed up nobody and his 15 minutes of fame were over years ago.   He's only famous for two words: "Bueller, Bueller".

I'm just amazed at how big O'Neill is.  You don't often get to see him standing next to average people.  It's not that he's just a lot taller, he's all-'round HUGE!

I find this one kind of entertaining.  But I think Ben Stein is really overhyped.

Yep, he usually talks like he's about to go (or send everyone around him) into a coma. It was funny in 1986, but it got old fast.

Would have been funnier if Shaq was chained to Dr. Phil (like in Scary Movie....)

He was actually a speech writer and lawyer for Nixon.  That makes me dislike him intensely.

He's also an outspoken conser... DICKHEAD, but I didn't want to bring politics into the topic.    Last fall he compared Obama's speech at a stadium to the Nazis, plus he's been in the news for being a 'Creationist supporter'.   Those two things alone are bad enough, plus he's a Nixon fan. What a sleaze!

Shaq-n-Stein! I'll bet these guys were inseparable on and off set during production, prompting Ben to friend Shaq on MySpace so they could keep in touch afterwardWink.

I agree that Ben Stein sounds drunk.  It's an awful commercial.

Comcast is really starting to suck now. Their 'basic cable' package is crap, and you have to upgrade to the 'premium' package to get anything decent. It's bad enough that Ben Stein has to be Shaq's 'back pack' since Johnny Bravo isn't available, but now they had to bring in E! gossip c**t, Giuliana Rancic into one of their ads!

Not to mention in the latest ads, Ben sounds like he had throat cancer to start with.....

Thank you mbaker, I had no idea who that hideous skank was. Now I know it's Giuliana Rancic, and is she ever repulsive.

I always remember Ben Stein as the Clear Eyes spokesman and the host of Ben Stein s Win Ben Stein's Money always have always will.
