Is it your first time to use Twitter? Are you having a hard time understanding it? Then the social media site might have the answer to your questions.

In its new ad released Wednesday, Twitter brought in British comedian Romesh Ranganathan as reinforcement to help two people who are finding it difficult to use the site.

In the first video, a certain Kenny G was having a hard time deciding on a username since his namesake was the famous saxophonist. He even can’t decide what are his interests and whose accounts to follow. Because of his woes, he was afraid to step outside of his own home.

Luckily, Ranganathan, speaking through a megaphone, guided Kenny all the way through his problems. He even brought his team and Kenny’s neighbors to cheer by saying, “Let’s go, Twitter!”
