David Puddy: From Selling Saab to Pitching Honda

It looks like Patrick Warburton (known for many roles, one being David Puddy on Seinfeld) has ditched is old job at Saab (Seinfeld reference) and joined with Honda to be their pitchman. Seeing Mr. Warburton instantaneously had me waiting for a lot of dry humor and quip-like comments, however that was to no avail. While the ads focus is primarily on their awards and great standing in the marketplace, I feel they missed their mark. There were parts that were humorous but I feel they didn’t deliver what they intended. His dry personality could have been put to much better use and, although clever, I feel they have to step it up a little more to have this be considered a good campaign. What do you think?
