Be joyous, oh ye fans of Metal Gear Solid, it’s back! David Hayter as Snake! Paul Eiding as Colonel Campbell! Konami’s corporate shilling of unrelated products using beloved franchises! All the classics.
Yes, Hayter has got one over on Kiefer Sutherland by making a heroic return to his most beloved role as the gravelly-voiced saviour of Shadow Moses as he stars in two adverts for Ford.
The first seems him in a codec call with Eiding’s Campbell, as the Colonel pimps the Ford Focus.
The second has the famous mind-reading trick with Psycho Mantis, only this time he’s not telling you to lay off hammering your pad to death playing Track N’ Field. No, this time he’s telling you how much you’ll love the Ford Fusion and its Sony speaker system.
While it is undoubtedly a bit sad that this is as close to an MGS remake we’ll see, there’s no denying this is so ludicrous it’s actually funny.
So what’s next? Sir Dan Fortesque selling life insurance? Crash Bandicoot pimping Jersey Shore merchandise? Tell us what you think below.
