Taste is on trial. A courtroom is set up and rapper Flavor Flav is on the witness stand to testify as a “taste expert”. The lawyer asks him “You’ve tried both Miller Lite and the change Bud Lite product, which one has more taste?” The witness chooses the Miller Lite. Counsel for the opposition objects that “This man is not a taste expert.” The judge rules that on the ground that the “man’s legal name is Flavor Flav” he will allow the testimony. Both lawyer and Flav respond “Yeah Boy.”

The Los Angelesโbased Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
