RICHARD SHERMAN + LLAMA = BEST ADS EVER????

“He’s won a superbowl. He only has two toes. But they are best friends!”

We could take or leave the actual product itself but this heartwarming series of advertisements for Richard Sherman’s line of sunglasses for Neff Headwear features the following:

  • A llama named Spartacus
  • A llama named Spartacus that is RICHARD SHERMAN’S BEST FRIEND
  • Richard Sherman talking to a llama
  • A llama judging Richard Sherman
  • Richard Sherman wearing a cupcake apron and halfassedly singing “Happy Birthday To Ya” to a llama, who is ignoring him
  • A LLAMA, ALSO IN AN APRON. (And sunglasses. Duh.)
  • A llama interrupting Richard Sherman during a press conference
  • Richard Sherman crouched down, pretending to be a llama

The capaign also features grip of photos of Richard and the llama just HANGIN’ OUT BEIN’ BESTIES

WE CAN’T. WE ARE DYING. FOREVER.

UPDATE: A source close to the campaign’s production has told us that “Sherm is a sweetheart,” but that “Llama was a diva.”
