Not bad, though it is missing the high-pitched voice tinged with insanity. Bonus points for use of the phrase “totally gross!”
I find the “Gross for one, gross for all” line to be truly inspiring, but I am impressed they put together a pretty good ad in these modern times.My only complaint is that the new voiceover sounds like a guy pitching blues clues and not the micromachines guy huffing helium.
