]]>Best. BBQ TV spot. Ever. It just works on so many levels and the meat falls off the bone. (Via Dana)
]]>New Pimms ad, has a very Wes Andersonian feel. Nice.
]]>Sounds about right.
]]>Jeffrey Wells argues this might just be the greatest movie trailer of all time. "Most trailers try to reach the lowest-common-denominator dolts. This one went for the PBS wine-and-cheese crowd, selling the choreography, Alex Thomson's awesome photography and the splendor of northern Italy's Dolomite mountains."
He points out it isn't even on this list from IFC.

]]>This video is ridiculous. Kind of hard to even understand what is going on but lots of cheese rock, flower sniffing, bikini girls, water gun fights, whistling, and inflatable gator wresting. Would only be better if it was in French.
Can. Not. Look. Away.
]]>Another Michael Jackson oddity was that he was Pepsi rather than Coke. That explains everything. Or maybe Coke is just more awesomer. And of course Carlton aka Alfonso Ribeiro was the impersonating Jacko in this spot. Of course he was. Absolutely unbelievable. Pepsi fail?
]]>Very funny Hardee's. Buscuit holes? Really? Well played. And really the website url is nameourholes.com. And yet, I'd eat one right now if they were in front of me. (Via Ad Freak.)
]]>Carpet bombed with Michael Jackson news everywhere. Here's a forgotten 2001 performance with Britney Spears where Jackson pretends to be interested in Brit Brit while she struts around stage. MJ's death is like seeing into the future. Also enjoy how he spends a LOT of time touching his headset mike, which kind of defeats the purpose.
On a side note, heard Thriller a bunch of times last night. How did we even bear listening to that obnoxious song so many times. Ridiculous and it's now #1 at Amazon now. As if.
Suddenly remembered how amazing this scene from original Star Trek was. Ha ha ha. The tronya. Oh Balok, you're such a card.
]]>Frank Sinatra and Ed McMahon in a hilarious 1968 Budweiser ad. Love the end tagline. Exit question: Would Frank have drunk Bud Light Lime? I sure hope so.
]]>The Benny Hill theme at the end, priceless.

Dear The Hangover movie. You had me at Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis coming down the escalator Rain Man style. See also and in no particular order: Tiger, Mr. Chow, awkwardness of 'Holocaust ring', and end of movie slide show. That is all.
]]>Must. Have. Teriyaki. Burger. Now. Looks healthy. Thanks Audrina!

Flip Flop Fly Ball, is a very cool site that has a series of awesome infographics, mostly about baseball (but don't let that fact discourage you). This one is the shapes of the fields in MLB that he got from looking at Google. How did they come up with that.
This one the size of Boston's Green Monster is wicked too. (Via Kottke)
