    This xfinity rebranding would be hilariously adorable if not for the fact that it will probably work and I will be pissed

  2. Jupiter's Rings says:

    ugh this made me want to throw up as soon as i saw it. i’m worried that this took up too much wintertime.

  3. Phylan says:

    Well that’s a dumb thing to worry about!

  4. Outlaw Pete says:

    Originally they had a batter in front of those plates but after 100+ takes, they realized he’d never hit the plate with someone batting

  5. Ryan says:

    ^ Well played, sir

  6. Matt says:

    No more thumbs down?!?!

  7. maxL says:

    On the other hand, Cole Hamels doesn’t actually talk in this one, which I think is some small victory.

  8. “I have Comcast & you should too!”

  9. Ryan Edmund says:

    Now that’s what I call [GENERIC BASEBALL METAPHOR].

  10. Rudy says:

    Who are you?

  11. Phylan says:

    @Outlaw That is a relevant and hilarious joke considering his ball/strike ratio and K/9 were identical in both 2008 and 2009!

  12. Johnny Cool Stix says:

    Yeah, there’s one in every crowd Phydo and you happen to be the one who outs that guy. I salute you, Capt. Obvious.

  13. muscles says:

    hahahah you got rid of thumbs down because everyone kept voting neg and disabling comments!

    THIS IS WHY THE FIGHTINS CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS!

  14. Griswold says:

    Wow that’s funny cause he did comcast commercials last year. He needs to stop doing commercials and stuff and focus fully on baseball though.

  15. Griswold says:

    And if xfinity is something that’s owned by comcast, feel free to call me a retard

  16. Machine Gun Kelly says:

    Retard

  17. Gaze_NJ says:

    My buddy works for Comcast and insists that the only reason for the name change is to trick people into thinking it’s not the same shitty service offered by Comcast.

  18. bigmyc says:

    Alternate slogan for xfinity and Cole; The World is Yours

    First jou get the money. Then jou get the power. Then jou get the women.

  19. Heathcliff Slocumb says:

    Well, if this is the worst Cole Hamels ad of the year, I can live with that. It’s better than nauseating pictures for Liberty One or pussy-assed spots for milk. That’s not saying it’s good – just that it can get much, much more horrendous when it comes to Cole and endorsements.

  20. ThinkRed says:

    Fuck Verizon, Fuck DirecTV, Fuck Dish Network! I bury those cockaroaches.

  21. maxL says:

    @Heathcliff Slocumb

    It can get much, much more horrendous, and it probably will.

  22. Cole Hamels says:

    Yeah I drive a Camaro.

  23. BD says:

    now thats what i call getting it in the butt

  24. I’m willing to overlook the coke mound or the whole ridiculous/nonsensical concept of the ad, but what the hell? “Now that’s what I call getting it over the plate” What the fuck does that even mean?

  25. TonyIsDynamic says:

    That cocky smirk is so awful and cheesy.

    I absolutely love it.

  26. Gonzo says:

    I’m gonna get on my high horse for a minute:

    If I have to read comments every single day complaining about Cole Hamels doing commercials for ANOTHER baseball season, I’m gonna go Silent Assassin on all of you fuckers.

  27. Whole Camels says:

    Hamels is such a sellout.

  28. Griswold says:

    Why anyone would want him to do commercials for them after his season last year is beyond me. The only thing worse would be having Lidge do more commercials for car dealers.

  29. Brad Lidge says:

    I did do commercials last year, for Life Savers, but they pulled them cause I sucked.

  30. olo567 says:

    Enough ads and endorsements. Baseball time.

  31. loctastic says:

    I can’t wait until he has a shitty starts, and then we get to see this commercial ad infinitum during the breaks. We’ll never be able to escape. Fuck.

  32. Brian says:

    @loctastic, why would you want Hamels to fail?

  33. Sal Fasano's Beard says:

    Cole Hamels totally bossed that commercial. I can’t believe Xfinity would want someone with a losing record and an ERA of 4.32 as their spokesperson.

  34. Minty Fresh says:

    All year I jizz over my FIOS service. That is until early in the Phillies season when they put a few games on CN8 and I can’t watch!!!

  35. Dan Muller says:

    Xfinity is comcast’s lame answer to Verizon Vios … ” hey if we just name our shitty service something cool maybe noone will notice and buy it … ”
    fuck tards …

  36. mvptommyd says:

    @Minty Fresh: You do realize that FIOS NOW has CN8 that is today known as TCN? Yea, I didn’t realize it either until last night when the flyers sent me a facebook messege telling me. It is channel 99 on FIOS. No HD channel, but at least we have it now!

  37. tofoomeister says:

    TonyIsDynamic: you see a Comcast shill; I see a good source image for the rotating banner @ 0:16/0:17

  38. loctastic says:

    Brian – I was being sarcastic, like I just can’t wait to be stuck in a vortex of Hamelsfail. obv I want him to be back to being 2008 Cole Hamels, striking people out and flying around the city with a cape, fighting crime.

  39. Minty Fresh says:

    @mvptommyd OMFG you just made my day. I can deal w/out HD just to be able to watch the games. THANK YOU!

  40. Tom Burgoyne, esquire says:

    Truth be told, gang; Cole’s been bustin’ plates for some time now. When I missed the Big Team’s charter flight from Clearwater a few Aprils ago, I had to spend a week there until Giles needed me for my upcoming birthday celebration. Well, needless to say, I spent the days away taking in Threshers games, hangin’ out at Razzell’s and doing copious amounts of coke. Cole was a fresh faced pharm hand back then who enjoyed “slummin’,” as he called it, and would regular Razzell’s.
    One afternoon, I sat down for a bite to eat and sat down right next to Cole.

    It’s funny, because I can still remember the lunch special I had that afternoon; pulled pork BBQ, mac and cheese, fried okra and a biscuit….right before Cole smashed the BBQ plate over my head because I got a drip of BBQ sauce on his shirt. Serves me right, though. I should have waited until I was done lunch to belly bump him…or better yet, not bring work into the pub.

  41. Minty Fresh says:

    Sooooo, anyone who has FIOS….does channel 99 come in all day? Or only when the game is on? I just called my wife and told her to check it out and she says its saying “not subscribed”. But it says we should get it as part of the “package” (hey now) we get…

    GOD DAMNIT SOMEONE HELP ME

  42. mvptommyd says:

    @minty fresh I am pretty it is all the time. I watched the Flyers on there last night and then was wondering the same thing. So kept the channel on and I got the soccer game that was on after the hockey game. So I think it is all the time. I would tell your wife to call Verizon now and see what’s going on.

  43. Minty Fresh says:

    thanks mvp, hopefully i figure this out prior to 7:05

  44. Joe D says:

    I hope Cole has Comcast on speed dial because it never fucking works.

  45. SARGE says:

    JR Richard used to break PLATES in the clubhouse ALL THE TIME.

  46. will.H says:

    oooppaa

  47. Dubee Dubee Du says:

    @ Tom Burgoyne, esquire, Dude you are one messsed up excuse for a has been mascot. That lunch episode haunts Cole to this day. That was his favorite pink shirt and you ruined it with your lameass act. He so should have gotten all Tommy Lasorda on your ass. Word of warning T.B. any ill effects of your posting this today on little Cole’s psyche tonight causing him to falter will be met with dire consequences. I would have recommended a thumbs down on your smelly greenness but alas that little joy of life was stolen away from us, most likely by those damn big govt. socialist, pinkos. Perhaps a well placed hotdog cannon shot. Enjoy this fine day all.

  48. Matt says:

    Who gives a fuck if he did a commercial? Every major athlete does commercials and endorsements. Nobody got on JRoll last year when he was doing shitty for his Dicks Sporting Goods commercials or his touring the parking lots with Red Bull. When Howard was batting .156 or whatever, nobody bitched about him plugging the $5 foot longs with Jarred. I don’t understand why some people just love to hate on Hamels.
