How corny is that commercial? Laughably corny, yes.
That’s a classic commercial for ‘Frankie and Johnny’s Furniture’ in New Orleans, featuring the original “Special Man” presumably released in the late 80’s.
Now, the New Orleans Pelicans have enlisted the services of their early MVP candidate and 2015 NBA All-Star Anthony Davis alongside his teammates Tyreke Evans and Ryan Anderson to pay homage this classic Ad why trying to get fans to invest in their new $24 deal, pick any 3 games for $24, which is actually a great deal.
The video below is from the New Orleans Pelicans YouTube page.

The NBA version has forward Ryan Anderson doing most of the work in the “Frankie” role, and guard Tyreke Evens fulfills an important part as the “With noooooo problem!” man, but of course, no “Special Man” parody isn’t complete without the star, in which Anthony Davis successfully fills.
Great stuff from the Pelicans.
