In the late 90's, Loose Moose Productions was commissioned to produce a series of claymation (sort of) ads for Lipton Brisk Iced Tea, currently under the Unilever umbrella.
Loose Moose has a YouTube channel, from whence we get this 1997 spot, in which Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone, reprising his iconic creation) needs some refreshment between rounds, and water ain't gonna cut it.
Supposedly, Burgess Meredith reprised his role as Mickey, Rocky's trainer, but others have claimed impressionist and radio personality Billy West was Mickey. The fact that Stallone actually agreed to do the ad was news all by itself. Yo!

I think it's a little more likely that Billy West did Mickey. He lent his voice to a lot of these Brisk ads - in fact, in this one I can hear him doing the announcer and the guy with the barrel of Brisk cans.
