Frank Caliendo does promotions right




Impersonator Frank Caliendo feasts on sports figures for his act, and I see him now and then on ESPN.  Today I stumbled on his latest, at the comedic expense of NBA great Charles Barkley.  Just hilarious.

So there's the idea:  Someone like Caliendo 'humorizes' some famous lines in a film, and draws more viewers to the site.  Both the backdrop and the subtitle carry the Progressive promotional, in this case.

Alternatively: Caliendo impersonates particular people in sports, who directly promote whatever product or service, brand or film is on the table. 

What a way to reach the large sports market!

Just in case you haven't seen the following famous scene yet or recently:
