Clothes? This ad is for clothes?
You know, all these entertainment shows have Michael Musto and his glasses on to opine on the E industry- but I can’t hear what he says, I always see the NY public access commercial for a phone-sex line with guys pissing on some thirsty people.
Until know, that was the best commercial. I will never forget that ad- or Mr. Musto for the rest of my life.
I hate him. His face looks like an ass with terrible rectal problems.
Oh dear, sort of a postsecret thing goin’ on there. Sorry.
Must be time for my pills.

Is this another entry for the Crest commercial, because I didn’t see anyone brushing their teeth.

The greatest commercial ever was the Rice Krispies Opera.

I missed out on the whole thing. Damn it.

Ah, another idea taken from the internet and co-opted to sell stuff. Well done, OverpricedClothesCorp, well done.
For those of you who are adept at depriving yourselves of things that are awesome, this commercial riffs on the popular “SFW Porn” meme, which was created and popularized on either SomethingAwful or 4chon /b/ (no one is really sure which) sometime around 2004.
Small gallery and a brief description can be found here.
Nerd rage aside, I must say this was handled rather well. At least it’s the talented people that are stealing from us this time.

Nope, the greatest commercial ever was the “award winning” Big Bear ad.

Once again, Cultural Recycling triumphs as the Interwebs doubles over spastically & vomits up a fossilized meme – & the non-digital folk rejoice as they are blessed by …
***SFW Porn!***
Yes, Virginia – conceptual oxymorons CAN be beautiful.
Mmm, that girl can play MY harmonica anytime.

I don’t care where it came from. It’s pretty adventurous for advertising.

SpicyD, I have never been able to find that commercial anywhere on the web, if you do find it, please let me know.
Can’t even find a transcript of the lyrics
Someday, things will loosen up to where I can use my ad campaign….Buy This Fucking Toothpaste
