Who the devil are these two bozos? Angry  They say "McCann Twins" like they expect everyone on the planet to know who they are and race madly to their phones to call this fly by night cell company.




I am really tired of this ad, and hope I never see those two dweebs again. What is their claim to infamy anyway, that I should be moved to buy the service they shill for? DeadThumbs%20DownNuke

Those two dweebs deserve a fist to the face.

I bet it's the same actor filmed in different clothes, it wouldn't surprise me.

That's what I was thinking too- one actor.  Like he couldn't stand alone as being the most annoying dork ever...no need to double my agony!

I could've sworn I started something on the "McCann Twins" (yea, o.k., I got another name for them) some time back...probably got pulled and banned.

The McCann twins, are, as suspected, one person, and no, you haven't seen him anywhere else, unless you've been looking really hard.  You can get the scoop on him here:  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2287491/
That is indeed one of the most obnoxious commercials going, and I hope it disappears soon.

You might be thinking about the 'other' twins, Pa.

I registered on this site just to add my two sites. My daughter watches a show she loves called "Animal Atlas". These Mccann twits are on every time. It is painful to watch but my daughter gets upset when I fast forward through the ads. They are absolutely painful to watch.

The only good thing I can say about that ad is that it was so terrible and irritating I actually googled "the McCann twins" to see what the deal was and found this place.
 
That guy derserves two fists to the face, btw.
 
I hate that ad.

They don't exist and are just one guy. You can tell because "they" are only in the same shot one time and the fx on it is terrible.

Yeah, it looks kinda fake.  I think Patty/Cathy did it better:

This Mccann twins commercial is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING!  I'll bet you any amount of money that the moron who came up  with this twin idea thought he was really clever.   The dude reminds of this guy I rented from, I mean he  ("they" ???)  look just like him and was a super annoying guy.  This twins crap reminds me of another day when Wrigleys advertized "Double Mint" gum using twins, but at least they were REAL!!  The Mccann twins need that cell phone shoved up there ass!!!!!    I mean....."Hi ugly"............"Hi Handsome"     .......ANNOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIINNNNGGGGG   Someone please comment so I know I'm not alone in this.....

I am so happy to learn about this forum.  These commercials bothered me so much -- that I googled to find out who these guys are -- turns out, as I now know -- "they" are only one guy.  This campaign has the worst of all worlds -- It's like a Dockers commercial on steroids.  The twins should be ordering Kay Jewelry from Jared -- charging it with Citi points while drinking a manly lite beer.  I wanna puke.

LOLLOLLOL

Welcome to the dark side!  It's pretty fun here...and you'll fit right in.

If you've got a few minutes, this is a hilarious takedown of the ad and the "twins":
