Mountain Dew unveiled its ‘Give Your Head a Mtn Dew Kickstart’ campaign, featuring hardest-working-man-in-show-biz, Hart. This marks the first time Hart will be seen in a Dew commercial, for the Mtn Dew Kickstart drink made with real fruit juice.

The series of 15-second spots play off what's going through Hart’s head while he's getting pumped up with the beverage. In ‘Wrestler,’ WWE Hall of Fame Legend 'Mean' Gene Okerlund interviews Kevin, who channels his convincing wrestling persona. In ‘Slap,’ which debuted during the NBA Playoffs, viewers saw double the Hart as he squared off against himself on the court, getting psyched before playing basketball. Rounding out the three spots is ‘Chopper,’ which features the comic revving the engine to his newest set of wheels – a neon-green colored motorcycle.
