R.I.P. Robert Goulet

So I know the passing of Robert Goulet hardly qualifies as a pop culture event, but maybe that's because few realize the contributions the legendary actor has made to Americana.

I'm not talking about his roles in Broadway hits such as "Camelot," nor his his music, nor his moustache, which certainly qualifies as one of the greatest in entertainment history.

I'm not even talking about Will Ferrell's hilarious impersonation of him on Saturday Night Live.

I'm talking about a series of commercials in which he starred for ESPN in 1994 promoting college basketball. To attempt to describe them -- considering he uses the word "Bronday," a combination of brother and Monday, in one of the commercials -- would be futile, so I'll just post a YouTube link and get out of your way. Enjoy, and make sure you watch all 16.
