No Need to 'Change' a Thing with New FedEx TV Ad

From Toronto based ad agency BBDO comes a funny new FedEx TV spot that highlights that Canadian "Dry" sense of humor. As a fitting type homage to the late great Canadian comedic actor Leslie Nielson (Naked Gun, Airplane), this ad also features that straight face delivery he made famous. Filled with clever yet absurd situations, this commercial does not attempt to re-invent the wheel, even though the boss may have the time to do so.
