David Cross Is The New Crazy Frog

In doing my morning research to bring you the web's best Baby Fart videos, I was serendipitously redirected to a collection of old stand up comedy clips that have been overlayed with cheap text to entice you to a website that uses the New Yorker's typeface to sell ringtones and wallpapers. I'm not sure how effective of an advertising campaign it is, but it's fun to see David Cross with hair.

Sometimes it's nice to be reminded that successful people were always great and deserve to be where they are. It's just weird when it happens via a marketing campaign for arcane e-shit from the '90s that I can't believe still exists. If you're still in the market for wallpapers, I've got a bridge in Second Life I'd love to sell you.
