Bent Image Lab and Taxi 2 have produced two more El Tabador themed spots for Koodo Mobile. Directed by Rob Shaw, the lucha libre wrestler El Tabador celebrates Koodo Mobile’s success as the most recommended national mobile phone company in Canada with a babysitting job and a tattoo.

In “Sitting” El Tab is entrusted to babysit a little “chalupa” while whispering about Koodo’s status of most recommended national mobile phone company. “People really trust us,” says El Tab, just before he realizes that either he or the baby has pooped its pants.

In “Tattoo” El Tabador celebrates Koodo’s status of #1 in Canada and explains that Koodo is #1 because they ended long distance and roaming charges in Canada and has no fixed term contracts. In his exuberance, El Tab orders up a tattoo of a big number “Juan”.
