Best Year Ever premiers on VH1 this Friday and David Cook is featured in a funny little promo for the show.

Spoofing CNN’s hologram gimmick from election night (Did y’all see will.i.am interviewed on CNN? That was wack) David appears, and then disappears! All while relaxing as ahe reads a magazine…

It’s magic!

Video after the JUMP…

    That is hilarious! I that his Best Week Ever skit was brilliant, so I’m glad that he was/is featured again. Thanks MJ.

  • Jul

    Oh, I love it! I can’t wait to see him on this show again!!

  • mac

    That was great. I would like a David Cook hologram please.

  • Trina

    ROTFFL I saw this on VH1 last night and I burst into such a fit of laughter
    VH1 REALLY likes him, don’t they?

  • Jolene

    That? Is the dorkiest rockstar ever. I love it!

    Does anyone know if David will be a part of the BYE show itself? After the hilarious Man Cement skit he did on BWE, I really wish he’d get to do more of these things. He has awesome comedic timing.

  • IGetCranked

    OMG I love Comedy Cook! That is my favorite side of him!

  • WestiesRule

    I just love that DC fits in everywhere. I can’t believe it took AI to “discover” him.

  • Jolene

    I would like a David Cook hologram please.

    In line right behind you, mac.

  • FolkFan

    You’re 100% right on that, WestiesRule. Also, you are 100% right that westies rule.

    I’ve got to think that, if they are including him in the ads for Best Year Ever, that he’ll be on the show. This would explain why I have ordered my DVR to record it…..

  • Jul

    David Cook holograms could be a real best seller, you know. ;)

  • Ashley19

    LOL, hilarious!
    David is cute… :)

  • Jolene

    As funny as that commercial is, THIS to me is even funnier.
    He really doesn’t have to do anything to crack me up, appearantly.

    He’s such a goof, LOL.

    Maybe he can help save the economy- mass production of DC holograms would surely create lots of jobs! (I’ll take one too.) :smile2_ee:

  • KarenLE67

    I’m pretty sure husband would *not* get me the David Cook Hologram if I added it to my xmas list.

  • sunchick

    I can haz now plez? I’m hoping hologram Cookie will give Steve Jobs some ideas. Debuting in time for Christmas 2009: iPod Hologram…

  • Dr. Tracey

    lol too funny!

  • poporange

    .It turned out kind of funny/dorky but then I was more fascinated by the technology behind the hologram for CNN.Folks not to burst the bubble but not as add lib they probably have set parameters for what he has to do.

    Warning being dorky can be good or bad depending on individual or prespective. IMO I like it .

  • GEEK4VOCAB

    THAT IS AWESOME!!!

    On the BWE home page, there’s a poll asking who had the best year ever… David Cook is on there and so far he’s leading with around 80% of the votes. Maybe that’s why they brought him on?

    Make that 94%. I don’t actually know anyone else on that poll other than Sarah Palin.

  • movin2thabeet

    I’m guessing that David will pop in now and then on BWE. It’s great for both the show and for David. I’d think he really enjoys getting to spoof on his image and get a chance to let his gooberness run wild.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    Ha! What a dork! Love it.

  • FolkFan

    Actually, I’m going to suspect that close to 100% of the reason that they brought DC on board for this was the “hombre solutions” skit that he did for Best Week Ever. [Maybe a small percent of it was the sizzler bit that he did in the same episode.] Think about it—a current musician pushing a new album who also happens to have been the American Idol winner who also happens to have a great sense of humor about himself and some acting chops.

  • Jolene

    Now I’m getting really excited about the show itself. Hopefully this isn’t false advertising and he will be on it. That poll on their site does increase the probabilty, I guess.

  • lefty

    OMG I loved that! The fact that he doesn’t take himself too seriously is what I personally find most endearing about DC.

  • JudyOhio

    He’s really cute, lol, and he’s game for about anything! And the best part, is that he does these little extra things so well! On a serious note, I’d love to see him acting in a serious role. I’ve always had the feeling he could do justice to a meaty role in something.

    (I’ve had that feeling about Taylor too, with the right serious role.)

    Cook is multitalented for sure.

  • lefty

    I actually think that Cook has the potential to be a great SNL host one of these days. Add Archie as the musical guest – allowing for some David-David comedy – and you’d have a show full of win. (The AI spoof alone could be priceless.)

  • leome

    On a serious note, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d love to see him acting in a serious role

    I think he said not a long ago that he had been reading scripts. But he wouldn’t get into anything… for now. So maybe in the future that is a possibility.

  • luci

    David is so funny :-)

  • Jolene

    On a serious note, Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d love to see him acting in a serious role.

    I think a good start would be letting him act in one of his own music videos. My dream scenario is that Lie becomes the 2nd or 3rd single and gets a video with David playing the lead. I would just love to see that.

    I really think he has some acting chops, based mainly on the Ford commercials and some BTS clips from Idol, and the BWE skit. Also, he did get a theater scholarship once upon a time…

  • Michelle

    He’s a goof :D I like the arm-wave thing.

    Thx for that Disney vid too, that was adorable.

  • kathrynTX

    AAARRGGGHHHH can he GET any more adorable? Dammit. Yes, the dorkiest rockstar EVAH. A sense of humor, especially about himself, is totally endearing in a man. That was very silly! And the Disney World clip too BWHAHAHAHHA! It will be fun to try to make him laugh during the David Cook & EEB Tour 2009. HAH!

    Are we placing orders for our David Cook holograms here? I’d like one, please. Please. If they are out of stock already, may I have a visit from the real live David Cook instead? I’ll pay…whatever it takes…it’s only money, I can make more.

    A very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
    :wub_tb:

  • gingerly

    David Cook is the perfect enigma. I think that’s what is so appealing about him (other than his amazing voice) to me. He doesn’t try to portray himself as anything other than who he is. He’s honest and truthful. He both a hawt rockstar and a geek from Kansas City. He’s unapologetic about himself and I love him for it.

  • cookcricket

    ^^Yup, what you said gingerly. He could never fit into the biggest “box” in the world.

  • jan

    Hologram David reminds me of Keanu Reeves during the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure movies.

  • cookcricket

    ^^Hee, hee, I was thinking the same thing!

  • FolkFan

    Yup, Gingerly. That about covers it.

    Off-topic, I scored tickets to the Atlanta radio Xmas concert. All right, I admit it. I did the Snoopy happy dance. And, yeah, I’m still grinning a couple hours later. Nothing wrong with that.

  • oceana

    That was cute.

  • CathyMK

    Off-topic, I scored tickets to the Atlanta radio Xmas concert

    Wow, congratulations, FolkFan! Can’t wait to hear your recap!

  • Trina

    I just noticed looking at the screen cap that he’s not wearing his Converse or his cowboy boots. Is he actually wearing for a change the brand he’s getting paid to endorse? :laugh_tb:

  • listen

    I’m a little late with my comment, but that was really cute!

    He’s a funny, down-to-earth guy, which, of course, is what makes him so gosh darn endearing…

  • Squirrelly

    I would love to see David Cook do a video of Barbasol, and add some humor to it since he so good at it. Barbasol really is a very funny song, and I could see David hamming it up. I think it would make for a very hot video, too. I want to see more more more of David performing and acting. I wonder what kind of scripts he was reading for? A David Cook hologram, are you kidding me? They couldn’t keep them stocked in the stores!!! I wonder if he read all of those women’s magazines and conjured himself up an image of what every woman wants in a man.

  • Squirrelly

    I would also love to see David Cook in a serious role, as well. I think he probably could pull it off. He is SO good at comedy, though. I’ve had many ideas for SNL skits, I’d love to see David Cook in a cougar skit, you know what I mean? Come on, let us watch him blush! I think I would melt all over the floor if he did this. And I’d love to see the Davids get into a “fake” fight, too. I bet they would do it since they are such great bro’s.
