Watch Mike Myers help out Sears Canada with a delightful new ad: 'My brother works here!'

In case you didn't know, Mike Myers has a brother named Peter, and Peter works at Sears Canada.

Well, the combination of Peter Myers and Mike Myers adds a little more star power, not to mention a charming, brotherly banter aspect.
