The New Era Cap Commercial features a clash between Chicagoan actors Nick Offerman and Craig Robinson. The comedians, who are currently starring on the shows Parks and Recreation and The Office, hilariously banter in this second video of the battle between Chicago and, well, Chicago.
This windy-city showdown is based on the rivalry between the city’s two baseball team. Each star is sporting a New Era fitted caps of their respective teams. Robinson shows his support for the Sox, while Offerman prefers the Cubs. Offerman also claims he would go as far as willingly fight five bears for the Cubs to win the World Series.
Their hilarious back and forth between the stars makes the viewer almost forget that this is an advertisement for the New Era fitted caps slyly produced by the The Brooklyn Brothers agency.
