Papelbon Uses Stunt Butt for Dunkin' Donuts Ad
Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon is hot commodity for advertisers. So it comes as no surprise that Dunkin' Donuts would use him in an advertisement. The ad itself is pretty funny, which is at Center Field (no embed available) because it involves a series of butt-pats:
This is karma for Papelbon leering at former NESN host Tina Cervasio's butt, right? Not exactly. Surviving Grady let us know that Jonathan Papelbon used a stunt double for his butt. Yes, the rough and ready Papelbon needed to protect his tush.
One really dumb element of the commercial happens when Papelbon doesn't realize there's a problem or get annoyed until he realizes a dude is about to pat his butt. Because heaven forbid a dude should touch his butt, as if that doesn't happen in baseball all the time.
