not quite. vh1 paid joel to produce those spots, and he does a regular show in the uk's mtv, i think.
as far as the spongmonkeys (what those little guys are called), they're not my favourite rathergood invention, but they're still funny stuff.
the problem is that they're taking a humour that is funny to a small amount of people and trying to force it into the mainstream. joel's stuff isn't for everyone, nor is weebl (jonti, the guy who did badger badger badger and the weebl and bob series)'s stuff, but they're both producing commercials. good for them. they made it big and are making some money off of it.
