The 'Unstoppable Game Tape' episode won't play. Man, I can hardly tell that that's Kenan doing that voice! I'm a big fan of Kenan Thompson. Who's doing Kobe's voice? Also, what company provided the puppets? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that they're Rick Lyon's handiwork.

That's funny because it works for me.

Not quite sure who's doing Kobe's voice? It could very well be Rick Lyon's handy work. Hmm...

Here's another one.

Nope, and Lebron acted totally like a spoiled child who couldn't take that he lost. He was totally un-sportsmen like unprofessional, and I'm suprised they gave him a pass on it.

But all this hype surrounding these players and these teams playing aginst each other just seemed and felt manufactured to me. That's my two cents.

Yeah I saw a few of these commercials on TV, they are very well done.

Does anyone know if these puppets are made by the same people/company that made the Crank Yankers puppets? They look very much alike.

Okay, so David Alan Grier is the Kobe Puppet.

Did anybody know that he was up for the role of George Costanza. I could so see that.
