Verizon ad - Is that Steve Buscemi and Norm MacDonald I hear?

You know the ad. The gingerbread family where the father (Buscemi?) is repairing his house, and the kid (MacDonald?) wants a phone for Xmas.

It would be awfully ironic, considering Norm MacDonald already supplies the voice for another annoying computer-generated shill for big telecom (one of the Bell Canada beavers).

'Tis entirely possible, though.

I’m pretty sure those are the people doing the voices. That’s just based on my hearing though.

Found it.

You’re right about the actors, but the advertiser is actually AT&T. So apparently Norm MacDonald is making a career out of plugging wireless services in animated form.

Ah, right. Verizon, AT&T. What’s the diff? :slight_smile:

Thanks for the legwork.

I noticed the ad was made by Aardman Animation of Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run fame.
