‘Kuna Matata!
“We’re doing business here.” For some reason, I just want to see Bruce Willis stand in for that kid in the Spinach/Spanish commercial, reading the exact same lines, and using the same facial expressions.
Awesome.
Spectacular! Thanks…
Thank you, thank you, thank you… this was my favorite commercial series back when it ran, and I had totally forgotten about it!
Bill-Cosby-ish?
Is the little boy in the spanish not spinach Blue Cross commercial, the same kid that played “Randy” on The Wire?
the little boy in the spinach/spanish one reminds me of richard pryor. mannerisms are exactly the same.

When I rolled across the first commercial with this young Bill Cosby-ish kid talking about being injured…injured bad, I was basically overwhelmed with radness. I wasn’t aware that there were other commercials in this campaign.
Our little man also does Karate (shown on the left), his compatriot discusses snotty doctors, and two kids ponder the finer point of differentiating spinach from Spanish. It doesn’t hurt that the background music is Apple-esque in its bouncy, friendly simplicity.
