ANOTHER good car commercial Justin!


My brother commented recently that he never sees any good car commercials (I immediately threw the Kia Soul hamsters in his face--am I right??) but I also liked this one for Toyota Highlander. The song choice? Amazing. The dedication TO the song choice by BOTH parent actors? Impeccable. The wardrobe choice for the sad kid in the backseat? Brilliant. Haha because you KNOW parents like this would DEFINITELY dress their kid in an ugly sweater and turtleneck (that by the way...matches the one the dad is wearing). Too good.

Awkward pole dancing


This clip is only 30 seconds but it defines something I like to call "deliciously awkward."  The impromptu  dancing BEHIND the pole? The pained expression during the routine's final dismount?  The decision to ask if anyone wants to see more?  You can't script stuff this good and you certainly couldn't recreate it if your tried.  Well done Amy Schumer. If I had some extra dollars they would be yours.

Cyanide & Happiness - Beer Run


If this clip doesn't illustrate my sick sense of humor--nothing will. The facial expressions and line delivery of these little guys KILLS me. It was a hard choice but my favorite line has gotta be "you're not my babysitter!" Keep in mind a VERY close second was "Give me your purse you dumb bitch." Horrible, I know. I should really seek counseling.

Drunk cubs fan

My gut tells me this clip is staged but my heart tells me I love it too much to care.

Old Fashioned Shaving Bunnies

I don't know if I've ever seen a commercial open with something so unoriginal and then TOTALLY deliver in the end. I ignored the beginning but perked up at the words "DQ blizzard" and "we have rainbows on fire" (Naturally...who wouldn't?) but NOTHING could have prepared me for old fashioned shaving bunnies. Nicely played DQ. Nicely played.

Photo shoots gone WRONG

Ohhh Patricia Barber.  Sweet, sweet Patricia Barber.  It's a good thing you're a "Jazz queen" and Where magazine isn't exactly flying off shelves because this is baaaaad.  Sounds like Chicago??  Sounds more like someone needs to fire their publicist.  I can't really blame her though because if I wanted Chicago-ers to attend MY concert, I'd definitely choose the burnt-orange raincoat with the sleeves that are a good five inches too short; and I wouldn't think twice about the chunky bracelets that make me look as though I've recently escaped prison but didn't have the key to the handcuffs.  I'm also sure it's just natural for a cover model to raise one knee, violently grip that knee with their left hand (making sure their pinky looks as though it's been dislocated) and then awkwardly place their right hand behind them (not really leaning against it--just kinda leave it at an odd angle so it looks like they're reaching for something no one can see). THEN, as if all that weren't photo gold, I'd be sure to have someone cover my right eye ENTIRELY with bangs and flash the camera a harsh, tight-lipped, dead-eyed look that screams "back the fuck up before I make you wish you were dead."  Yep. That'll get people to see a jazz concert.  Lovesss it.

Potato Dono...nuff said



Words can't really describe what you're about to witness. This clip starts as an innocent kid's cartoon then quickly--and without ANY warning--turns into a horrific sequence of death and despair. I was not anywhere near prepared and had what I'm sure 9 out of 10 doctors would categorize as a small stroke during the "vegetable peeler" scene. Good luck.
