An example of forced humor, to me, would be just about anything Dwight Howard has pulled off in the past. Wild obnoxiousness, snickering at one's own jokes, those are the forced things that get me.

All that said, I don't think I laughed at all while watching this commercial. I'm not really enjoying what the Lucas brothers are bringing to the table. But I'm not really a laugh out loud guy to begin with. I'll say I was gently amused by Blake and his MyPlayer. It's just 2K's way of getting their name and game back out there in the public eye. They know folks will be looking at the gameplay in the back; that's why they put it there.
I dislike Griffin and his flopping on court, but I find his ads and off court antics somewhat amusing precisely because he's kind of quirky, forced and awkward. He's like a souless ginger parody of himself, and I think it's intentional but I can't quite be sure, which makes it all the more amusing.


Also, it's like 2K knows how bad their CAP system is and how much easier it is to make a ridiculous character than a believable one with realistic tattoos.

Yup. That dunk should be in the dunk contest exclusively.

and why is that ? I wouldn't be surprised if that happened on Causal or rookie/default settings. If you play on simulation sliders I'm sure you won't see things like that

Exactly. I think it's kind of like with the Office. Some people don't get it. I think some people need a laugh track to know when something is funny. Some don't get subtle or deadpan humor, it has to be in your face.
