Kobe Bryant’s Funny Side
Most of us know Kobe Bryant as a basketball legend. But did you know he also has a funny bone? This shining aspect of his personality was revealed in a hugely entertaining Nike ad. Here, he cracked up a room full of celebrities with his take on success, known as the ‘Kobe System.’
Kobe, the Life Coach
In the Nike ad for his own signature sneakers, the Nike Zoom Kobe VII, Kobe took on a different role. He played a hugely funny life coach, giving celebrities his formula for success. Among the famous faces we spotted were Kanye West, Serena Williams, Richard Branson, and Tony Robbins. With his unique teaching of ‘success at success at success’, Kobe had them all rolling with laughter.
Funny Conversations
The ad was full of funny bits where Kobe used his comedic skills to full effect. When Kanye West asked what happens if you’re already successful, Kobe gave him a silly explanation about meteors and dinosaurs. Even though Kanye was confused, he joined the fun and added his own jokes to the mix.
Serena Williams, the tennis powerhouse, also shared a hilarious exchange with Kobe. She had a big laugh when Kobe showed her a totally bizarre video in response to her question about tennis backhands.
In a particularly humorous part of the ad, Kobe and Kanye kept winding each other up with funny exchanges. They used phrases like ‘Are you a different animal but the same beast?’ which made the conversation even more hilarious.
Billionaire Richard Branson Joins In
Richard Branson, the wealthy owner of the Virgin Group, also got involved in the fun. He said he’d already master ‘success at success.’ In response, Kobe joked and suggested he try ‘success at success at success’.
The ‘Kobe System’ in Real Life
After the funny ad, Nike decided to keep the laughs coming. They filmed a second ad featuring the same celebrities who claimed to have applied the ‘Kobe System’ to their own lives.
Serena Williams kicked off the ad with a funny anecdote. She claimed that the ‘Kobe System’ had changed her worldview so much she was now questioning how she could possibly top her Grand Slam victories.
Kanye West returned as well and gave a humorous testimony about the impact of the ‘Kobe System’ on his own life. He pondered the idea of success beyond Platinum records and chart-topping hits, and even went on to declare, ‘Kobe System is truth… the Kobe System changed my life no doubt.’
In Closing
That’s the story of Kobe Bryant’s super entertaining Nike ad. It wasn’t just a sneaker commercial; it was a showcase of Kobe’s fun side and his ability to entertain people off the court. With memorable jokes and playful banter, everyone in the room was left in stitches. The follow-up ad where celebrities shared their experiences was just as fun, making the ‘Kobe System’ unforgettable. In a nutshell, these ads are lasting proof of Kobe’s charming and funny personality.
