I like those commercials. They're great.

I fight with a deskjet at work everyday. :evil:

Its pretty easy to do it.

Just use a rectangle with the inside cut out. When they "freeze" the pic, just superimpose that into the hole (erasing what is in there). For the ones that he picks up and then unfreezes, just do the same thing except take the frame where it unfreezes and superimpose that in the hole in the earlier frames.
