So, while I was watching the newest House episode, during a commercial break (where my attention was truned back to my computer and the internet) I suddenly heard a familiar voice... Dulé Hill! He was in a commercial for (if I remember correctly) DirectTV... in a bank robbery scenario oddly similar to "Gus Walks Into a Bank".
Anyone else seen this whole thing?

Yes! I just saw it for the same reason. I was so confused, because it totally was like "Gus walks into a bank." You can see it on the direct tv website.

Thanks for the heads up!!
I watched it in full and I found it interesting that they have Dulé setting up his DVR from his phone for a show at 9pm on a Tuesday on Channel 5. What I find funny about that is for me (where I live)... CBS is channel 5, and The Mentalist is on Tuesdays 9pm/8 Central. LOL! You'd think they'd have him setting it up for 'something' Friday night... say 10pm/9pm? Maybe? (Though, I'm certain the 'shots' of the phone screen were added later, done through green screen or something.

There's actually two versions of the commercial too... a short and a long. If you don't get to see the robber stepping on Dulé's phone, you've been robbed by the short version. (As someone pointed out, the commercial is on the DirectTV webpage... and it is the full length one).
