...highly anticipated commercials probably draw as many people to the television as the game itself. The ads are a competition in frivolity, such as a yuppie rendition of the famous Budweiser "wassup?" campaign and a Bob Dole parody of his Viagra ad for Pepsi.

While the author is listed as "Unknown," the bit was actually created by a sitcom writer from That '70s Show, Phillip Stark, 27, and animator Graham Robertson, 26. Now they're trying to leverage it as a pitch for a sitcom about superheroes hanging around and whining like Friends characters. They're not pitching it to Hollywood studios, though; they're actually going on a pitch meeting...
