'Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings': IFC, YouTube Stars Talk New Local Commercial Show

The comedy troupe of Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, longtime YouTube stars, have been using their knack for getting laughs, making music and understanding what makes videos go viral to produce highly amusing -- and successful-- commercials for local businesses on YouTube

On Huffpo, no less.  A thought just came to mind.  Seinfeld was a show about nothing.  Now, with these guy's new TV show, called Commercial Kings, they will be doing a show about commercials.  You know, kind of the opposite of doing a show that is interrupted by commercials.  Commercials are the show.   It is interesting to see these guys pulling it off.  What?  Commercials!  Who would want to watch that?  But these guys are good.  If such a concept can work, these guys can pull it off.
