Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois Star in H-P Spot
 May 11, 2010 11:17 pm
Animators treated as celebs is a novelty that doesn’t get old so it’s good fun to see How To Train Your Dragon co-directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois mug for the camera in this commercial for Hewlett-Packard, alongside Rhys Darby of Flight of the Conchords. Other commercials in the campaign feature Annie Leibovitz and Dr. Dre. (Thanks, Ryan Matias) |

Saw this last night, coincidentally. That host is clearly the focus of the commercial, but I somehow feel like the directors are being teased not just for the camera.
I love Rhys Darby. I should find him irritating, I really should, but I don’t.
What part of an HP computer does HP make?
Not the RAM or the CPU or the OS or the graphics card or the hard drive…
Hahaaa… That Rhys Darby is hilarious! I can’t get enough of Flight of the Conchords. Such a fun, original show.
It reminds me of the 90’s when you had Rob Liefield doing Levi commercials. (don’t shoot me for mentioning his name) And a lot of the comicbook creators were minor celebreties. You even had it a little with Glen Keene and some animators.
Well done.
Nice to see them having a spot like this.
Usually it’s the voice talent in front of the cameras.
Nice change :-)
