Me King Kong. You Jane.
The second in the series of ice cream commercials digitally inserting 30 Rock actress Jane Krakowski into classic movies has come out, and I have to say the second effort is more fun than the first.
It's King Kong, with the concept that Jane meets him through an online dating service, and the movie is their first date. It's a little lame, but still cute, with some genuinely funny lines.
And I liked it a lot better than the debut commercial, in which she found herself playing Scarlet in Gone With the Wind. It's a lot easier to accept them messing with the image of King Kong than Clark Gable. After all, King Kong was a fantasy to begin with. Clark Gable is a dead actor, and no one can ask his personal permission to appear in a commercial (unless the seance biz has gotten a whole lot better than it used to be).
