If Steve Nash weren’t such a great basketball player, he might have been the Buster Keaton of his generation. Nash struts his deadpan stuff in this latest work for Vitaminwater, a takeoff of Dos Equis’ "Most interesting man in the world" campaign, which itself was a parody of sorts. Nash, the "most ridiculous man in the world," is shown getting fitted for a Canadian tuxedo, which is made of denim. Then, as he’s wheeling through a hotel corridor on a kid’s tricycle, a narrator explains that Nash can speak 22 languages "at a first-grade level." It gets sillier. Nash cavorts in an ’80s aerobics outfit, an Elvis costume and, of course, a clown suit. "I don’t always drink water," Nash says echoing the Dos Equis man’s line, "but when I do, I drink Vitaminwater XXX." (The name is another play off Dos Equis, which is Spanish for "two X’s.") Perhaps a YouTube commenter summed it up best in one word: "Idiot."
