Capital One Alec Baldwin Ad

Alec Baldwin is currently starring in an ad for Capital One about a card with bonus points or whatever for people who fly a lot. Yadda, yadda. Whatever. Anyway, he’s basically there teasing and bullying people who don’t have the “right” credit card, while he’s busy lording it over everyone else. Nice. But I’m surprised he didn’t call everyone without the card a "rude, thoughtless little pig." That’s what we know him best for, right?

But I think we all remember him from another recent ad: the one for Hulu, where he’s an alien trying to squishify all of our brains with TV shows. The funny thing is that his behavior is so similar in the Capital One ad, it starts to make me seriously wonder if that tentacley alien didn’t just possess his body and prostitute it out for the highest-paying ads. Hey, you never know.

Here’s the Hulu ad:
