No Play For Mr. Gray

It's been more than 5 years since the now famous Just For Men ad featuring Keith Hernandez and Clyde Frazier first aired.
With its signature lines "no play for Mr. Gray" and "rejected!" the ad has really caught on.
The New York Times says a new ad is in the works, this one featuring Emmitt Smith, and a whole slew of new rhymes like "your stache is trash."
The company's advertising deal with both men requires them to keep their facial hair a nice dark shade of black. Just For Men execs even monitor Keith to make sure he's darkening as often as he should, and they get on him if a little gray shows through.

I saw this ad and I think another of the lines was, "And your beard is weird." Hysterical. If only Hooked on Phonics used Emmitt in some commercials. That dude is dumb.
