SGN uses celebrity Ken Jeong of The Hangover in a funny Cookie Jam ad

Humor seems to be the prevailing trend in mobile gaming ads. The latest to show this is mobile game publisher SGN, which used comedian actor Ken Jeong from The Hangover films in its latest ad for its Cookie Jam match-3 mobile game.

Jeong, a doctor who became a comedian and actor, wears a big cookie outfit in the ad. He walks into a beauty parlor and gives out Cookie Jam to brighten up the ladies under the hair dryers. The SGN ad targets older women, its main audience for the casual game.
