Konica Minolta Christmas Video Is Hysterical

Separated at birth? Konica Minolta President/CEO Rick Taylor (right, in case you weren't sure) channels Charlie Brown in a new company video.
Destined to be a Christmas classic, this hilarious Konica Minolta video parodies "A Charlie Brown Christmas," the 1965 animated TV special based on the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It features company executives standing in for all the key characters in the original Christmas cartoon (even Pig Pen, covered in toner dust).
Watch as a depressed Konica Minolta President and CEO Rick Taylor (clad in the perfect tie) searches for the "true meaning of business."
"You're the only guy I know that can achieve year-over-year growth and still feel crummy about it," scolds EVP Sam Errigo, taking on the Linus role (blanket and all).
Though there's no group dancing (next year, maybe?), there's plenty of familiar Vince Guaraldi music. And the best part may be that SVP Kevin Kern, in the role of Snoopy, has (almost) no speaking lines! (Ouch! Sorry Kevin. We really love hearing you talk!)
Take five minutes to get in the Christmas spirit and watch the fun.
