Roger Federer Rolls with Flight of the Conchords in His New Nike Ad

Tennis is not particularly exciting to me. Tennis advertising has been even less so since the grunge-mullet days of Andre Agassi and Canon (sorry, Roddick, image is everything). But even I will admit that Roger Federer's most recent ad, which features Murray from HBO's Flight of the Conchords, is pretty awesome. It doesn't relate to the show much, but the Marvelian spoofness of a tennis ball war is still solid.



It takes a lot for a commercial to make me want to play tennis, and honestly, that ad actually pulled it off. Also, a continued series of these things, whereby Federer and Murray battled in comic book fashion with tennis balls over the world would be awesome.
