Ken Jeong for Coke Zero

Cut+Run’s Jon Grover recently edited a commercial for Coke Zero via agency Translation. Directed by Caviar’s Jody Hill, the spot stars comic actor Ken Jeong who prefers the notion of “and” (as in Real Taste and Zero Calories) over “or.”

Facing the choice between two uniquely different movies, Ken Jeong looks down at his can of Coke Zero. Inspired, he leaps into action performing a rendition of “War (What Is It Good For?)” with original dance moves and substituting the word "or" for "war," much to the entertainment and delight of passers by. After all, why choose when you can enjoy everything?
