The transcript captures a behind‑the‑scenes shoot for a Hulu Plus Live TV commercial starring Jimmy Butler Iii, who plays a butler. The crew (stylists, directors, and assistants) engage in informal, improvised dialogue while selecting wardrobe, props, and camera angles. The conversation oscillates between comedic banter about body image, wardrobe choices (turtlenecks, glasses, socks), rapid costume changes, and direction for basketball dribbling and ball‑handling choreography. The team also rehearses a "This or That" interactive segment that highlights Hulu Plus Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN+ bundles, using props like an espresso cup and candy bowl to illustrate everyday viewing habits. Directional cues for camera shots, set pieces (a couch, a statue, a bucket of items), and visual gags (e.g., a Black Stallion painting concept) are discussed. The transcript ends with a wrap‑up, brand shout‑outs, and a promise to see viewers in the series, illustrating how the production blends spontaneous humor with structured brand messaging.

Dogs, animals, everything.
This all looks good, and as you see, there's all different types of items in this bucket. So what we want you to do—
Y'all good? Excuse me?
Y'all good?
Yes.
This one's green because of what I— Okay, girl, give me some. I just beat that. Okay. That's real player ass. Do I get a name once you do this?
Well, you basically pull it out, show it to the camera, and then— pull it out, show it to the camera, and then like talk about how you use it. So for example, I have a big bowl of candy that I like to watch or eat while I'm watching Hulu Plus Live TV. We really wanna plug Hulu Plus Live TV all throughout it, so just find creative ways to do that.
I told you, y'all thought I was lying.
This couch is coming apart.
Is it? Oh, yes. I said that the first time when y'all put out— I'll just stand back here and hold it. Take 2 on the slate.
We can start with the intro of me picking up our bucket first.
Whenever you're ready. I'm Jimmy Butler Iii, and this is what's in my bucket. All right, let's go with this for We have a nice espresso cup, which is what I like to drink, espresso, while I'm watching Hulu Plus Live TV in the AM without my kids. Y'all fooled me though, 'cause y'all glued them together.
Sorry, sorry, Kenny.
My favorite part was when he was smelling me.
Huh?
I thought he said he was gonna smell me.
However you would do it, but like, it's just like you're just kind of like, how would you normally dribble it? Like if you were just gonna go one, like instead of, we just want it to be slow.
The way they grabbed me and set up, dribble the ball, it's gonna come Oh, but catch it.
Yeah.
What goes up must come down. So unless I palm the ball. Yeah.
So what do you want?
You want me to like dribble, hold it, close it, dribble?
Yeah.
Oh yeah. Like that. So you want me to carry it like that?
Yeah.
Like Giannis does on every play. Y'all never play football.
NBA.
A black stallion on a black stallion.
I just had a thought. It was like Jimmy Butler riding a horse in the style of a Baroque oil painting. Or Stallion, sorry, Black Stallion.
Thank you, baby. Not just any Stallion.
Yeah, excuse me.
Black Stallion.
Look at my leg.
Oh, is that a normal pace for Jimmy? You don't have to travel.
What's a normal pace for Jimmy?
Well, let's see, let's try it.
You show me.
All right.
Nah, come on, show me the normal pace for Jimmy.
All righty.
Show me something. Don't look down at the ball, come on.
What's up?
Come on, man. How are you, man? I'm okay. How are you?
Great.
Pleasure to meet you. Come on, man, all day. You look good.
So do you, man.
Come on, man. I mean, brothers gotta stick together, don't we? So good.
So good. Awesome. So if we're good, let's get Justin.
Yeah, let's do it.
Right?
So Justin, you're gonna bring him this way.
And this is the establishing, like, first shot into the— of the commercial and we don't want to see— we want to reveal you. So you're going to be dusting, put your back to the camera. The camera right now is coming this way, kind of, and Jimmy's going to be bouncing the ball over here. You're just going to like, you know, make sure that we're not seeing you and you're just being able to dust.
Excellent.
[FOREIGN LANGUAGE] So I don't know if you've seen the trend where people walk up and then like go in the direction of what they choose. Okay, so we'll test it out. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] So you'll go together.
Okay.
So we'll I'm gonna say like cream and sugar or black coffee, and whatever you choose, you just go in that direction. She's gonna raise her hand.
I'll raise my hand.
Yeah.
I'm Jimmy Butler's butler, and we're gonna play This or That.
So Jimmy Buckets or playoff Jimmy?
I'm telling you, this side's way better. This side's— come on, I promise I would never— I would never lie. Just come on. Come on over here with me.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Really good. Good.
Here we go, ready? And action. I've prepared an extra place should our guest wish to stay for dinner.
Guest?
The man from the cable company. He does tend to linger. Cancel him! Hulu Plus Live TV is like cable.
Only better.
Mm, I always did find him a bit presumptuous. "Let's meet between 12 and 4." Who does that? I'm over here working on my Neymar skill set. Everybody's on the back side over here. This is all my shot. Off the easy.
Ah, what?
No, no, if you got to shoot right here for 5, you're not going to shoot. What do you mean? 1 out of 5. So, Jimmy, I'm going to show you real quick.
First, I got to make—
For one, don't, don't shoot because the ball— Okay, got it. Copy that. You want to get to the ball or— All right, well, yeah, I got to put myself— You just want to—
let's see if you can kind of visualize it.
I know. He's actually good. I saw him spinning in there. But basically, you're gonna do this. You're gonna be here. The buzzer's gonna be here. And then you're gonna— when you get like right here, you just throw it up and out of frame. We're gonna do that little movie magic shit.
You're throwing it like a hook, but as high as you can so it's through the frame.
Thank you, sir.
Same old.
Butler's on set, sir. Cool. Thank you, thank you.
Are we going to have the statue in the shot at all? Or imagine like Bigfoot is right here taking your photo and you're like, this seems weird.
Copy that. Now we're just going to get different poses for the camera shot. Real quick, you guys, I know the Hulu team wants to come in. You guys want to get a little photo moment? Before we do that, I do just want to say real quick, let's give it up for Jimmy Butler, everybody. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] That is a wrap. I'm outie. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Yeah.
Welcome!
Let's do it. See you in the series. Yeah, we'll see you soon.
