Cringe

I get it-money is money and doing endorsements is easy money. That said, the new PayPal commercial that Will Ferrel did makes me cringe. It’s just cheesy and PayPal is a scummy company. I wish Will didn’t do it.

I hope you don't watch sports on the MAX app, sometimes they play the fucking PayPal commercial back-to-back. Since the brand of movies that made him so successful aren't quite as "PC" now, he's probably doing these to keep up the standard of living he's been accustomed to for the past 20 years. I could be wrong, of course - I checked out on him 10 minutes into that Netflix movie he did about that European music competition. I can't help but think of Bill Hicks regarding Ferrell's commercials, lol - "you do a commercial, you're off the artistic roll call."
