Vork shows up in the Super Bowl

Is that... Vork? Quite a few tipsters have spotted this Super Bowl ad for CareerBuilder.com, and about halfway through, what appears to be The Guild's Jeff Lewis in his skivvies jumps on screen (we've preserved the image in a quick screenshot above -- you can thank us later, ladies). We actually checked in with The Guild, and they confirmed that yes, that is everyone's favorite GM. Feel free to cheer/ swoon/ shudder appropriately.
Lewis met up with us (and the rest of The Guild's cast members) back at BlizzCon, and it's good to see his star is.. rising? (we kid!) Keep an eye on the rest of the ads for the big game this Sunday night as well -- it looks like Coke has an online gaming reference coming with their "Avatar" ad, and considering how gigantic World of Warcraft is on TV lately, we may see some other sly winks towards our favorite game.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

I'd have to say otherwise...

There are some things you just can't unsee.

That's how Mike is dressed as he's raiding. You never know what's on the other side of that Vent.

There's another ad with Vork in it... I can't remember the product, but we see him holding a business meeting in his daughter's bedroom and her boyfriend comes in for a makeout session in the middle of the meeting.
"Get a room, you two"
"Technically, this IS her room"

That would be a FedEx Ad. I saw it yesterday and did a double take. Looks like his agent's been bust getting him bookings!

Rarely do I need to manually adblock an image on this site, however the lead visual in your article was such an abomination I had little choice.

Haha.

He's in an Energizer commercial too I think. He's in the ISS or something and it gets hit by an asteroid, and they put in an energizer lithium battery, all of a sudden it's fixed, and he says something.

Felicia Day is also in a recent Search commercial. The one where the lady decked out in all red is excited about red washers and dryers.

D'oh, my nimble fingers typed Search instead of Sears. She was in a Sears commercial.

You would be surprised by the number of people that 'dress' like this when they're on Vent...

Back when I was a free lance consultant, PJ pants and a T Shirt were called 'work clothes' ;-)
/sigh
Back in the 'real' world now.
