Here is the ORIGINAL crazy cab driver Jimmy McBride, played and created by Donal Logue. Rainn Wilson or whoever directed the TNT NBA Commercials with Derrick Rose, Gilbert Arenas, Deron Williams and Dwight Howard should be openly crediting the original creator of this concept. Its blatant theft in my opinion... and it is just my opinion but please tell me if I'm wrong. Check out all of the original Jimmy McBride clips from MTV on YouTube and see for yourselves. Please out other copycats if you know of any. Its not right. Full Story on www.duxieclothing.com/blog

  • They both ripped off the crazy taxi cab driver character from the Red Hot Chili Peppers video, "By The Way". They look too similar to be a coincidence.

  • Only the Donal Logue sketches were about 5 years before RHCP video for By the Way which was again, another rip off.

  • Dude I know. I really don't like rip off artists. You're right, the Jimmy McBride material is hilarious. I'd love to see Donal doing another series like this.

  • are you all retards? its called an homage.

  • @DuxieClothing look up jimmy mcbride tax

  • I don't think they are similar enough to start spouting ripoff at all. And the Howard/Wilson commercial isn't very good. Jimmy the cab driver was awesome.

  • 100 % The best one was the Sabatage Video

  • Wilson totally ripped off Logue. Rainn is not nearly as funny or fluid as Logue. TNT commercials seem too scripted and labored. Logue was able to portray McBride as if he were a real person. I have always lived in Mass, and yes there really are people like McBride. Rainn's character, from Wisconsin?? WTF.I'm not buying it. I am going to have a hard time watching the Office now. I hope the pay was good Wilson! Don't try to come to Boston with that shit!

  • Absolutely!

  • I saw that commercial and it made me think of these old MTV spots so in my opinion Rainn Wilson did copy these originals. Just my two cents.

  • it it's really ripped off then why doesn't rain wilson act retarded in his commercials like this guy?

    you guys are idiots
