Yeah, yeah – I’ve been a bit behind in getting these TV spots up. You can blame too many games and not enough sleep for that. I blame The Mandarin because it’s a much better excuse at the end of the day (well, at least I think so). Hey, maybe you should try that out the next time you need to get out of trouble. I’ll bet you a penny that it works much better than you’d expect…

Car trouble? It’s The Mandarin! Didn’t get that homework done? The Mandarin! Late for that big date? Mandarin. Bought a case of dented can special mandarin oranges as a wedding present? Yeah, you know who… Well, maybe that one’s a wee bit too much, but it would be pretty damn hilarious (except to the bride, groom and anyone else at the wedding who wasn’t in on the gag)…

Hey, I don’t control anyone, kids – I just suggest away and hop into the background to watch what happens. Maybe it’s just the need to see things in a more amusing way or maybe I have a penchant for causing minor mayhem in small spaces (as long as no one gets hurt, what’s a closet full of balloons going to do wrong?).

Hmmm… or maybe it’s the Mandarin (again!)…
