Wilson is nothing more than an attention seeker, hoping to parlay his playing career into something more. My guess is he was ignored as a child.

Ah, next year he’ll pitch like Guillermo Mota and his acting days will be over.

I thought he was going to shave that squirrel’s nest when the Giants were eliminated from playoff contention.

Quite an impersonation. 3.77 ERA, with 172 strikeouts in 186 innings. I wish I could impersonate anything that well.

The thing I like most about closer and Taco Bell Brian Wilson is that nobody will ever confuse him as singer/song writer Brian Wilson.

I did find the one commercial I saw with Brian Wilson in it, mildly entertaining. If Bud Norris is correct, I look forward to seeing the other Taco Bell commercials he’s in.

The Black Ops reference is evidently to a video game. Since the baseball audience skews older, I’m not sure the ad is connecting.

FYI- I like to call him ‘Buddy No-No’. Not sure why. Sounds fun, but he needs to pitch a no-hitter I guess before it really sticks.

I’m so tired of Wilsons act…

Unfortunately, Bud Norris is guilty of impersonating a Major League pitcher.

Don’t blame Wilson. He got hired to do this and it won’t harm his pitching if he can’t act. Might even help, if it disabuses him of the notion he will have a career in Hollywood. (I am convinced that Shaq only made it to the next level because his film career was such a dud.)

… and how about that commercial about his beard with the fiddler and dancers. Enough! I will never eat at Taco Bell again.

Unfortunately for Wilson, the role of Zach Galifianakis has already been filled.

The thought of that beard anywhere near food . . .

The commercial and Wilson’s acting is even worse than the product it’s advertising.

Say what you will about the content, but Wilson himself nailed the acting bit.

Yeah, it’s not even good at being quirky, it’s just outright lousy, and I’ve only suffered through it twice.
