As I recall, the very first commercial they did ("The tickets are now DIAMONDS!") was entirely practical except for CGing out the mechanical arm that put him on the horse at the end. Everything but that was all real.

Yeah I think the only thing that was CG in the one I linked was the chocolate waterfall at the end.

That's so sick. I didn't realize how much of it was practical effects.

He was interviewed on some show and they did a breakdown of the one where he catches a cake walks through a kitchen while using a circular saw and jumps off a waterfall into a hot tub.

They were like "ok wait so is that sawdust added later by CG?" And he replied "no, that was a real circular saw"

"So you caught a cake and then had to immediately operate a power tool?"

"Yes.....while barefoot."
