Every time this Bisquick commercial comes on, with its ridiculous “Blueberry Pancake” song (higher quality audio version here), I laugh because it reminds me so much of Sarah Silverman’s song “Pancakes Please.” Here are the two videos so you can compare for yourself (sorry about the low video quality).

You know that travel show Globe Trekker, where some young and charismatic person travels to an exotic (or sometimes not so exotic) location in the world and walks around and talks to locals and sees the sights? I always think I’d be good at that show, except when I remember that occasionally there is mountain-climbing involved. Hell to the no, or rather, no to the thank you.

My favorite cast member on this show is definitely Suffolk-born Ian Wright, who is both charming and British. He always seems to have such a good time, and everything he says sounds cooler because, you know, he’s British. Well apparently the people of Aruba wanted a piece of that too, because they’ve cast him in their new “One Happy Island” tourism campaign. Glad to see him getting work! For some reason the tourism board’s website doesn’t have the ad up yet (even though there are a ton of those Lewis Black commercials archived), so in the meantime, here’s a press release and a clip of Ian being hungover in Globe Trekker.

Update: The ads have been posted! I guess they have been for a month and a half, but, you know, I’m lazy. The first one is embedded below but the rest are at the ArubaTourism YouTube channel.

Guy Ritchie and sexy Jude Law teamed up for this long commercial (it’s more like a mini-movie) for Dior Homme, a fragrance. It is very nicely directed and sexy and stylish and all that you’d expect from a Guy Ritchie short, but am I the only one who is still sort of confused by the plot at the end? Thanks to Holy Moly! for posting it in this article.

This time Charmin has gone too far! Unsatisfied with merely giving us recurring nightmares after watching bears criticize their family members’ levels of ass cleanliness, they have decided to go in for the kill by inventing a new fetish: a bear/toilet paper fetish! At least I think it’s new. Nah, there’s probably already a whole porn subgenre for it.

Also, what kind of slogan is “Enjoy the Go”? That is disgusting.

You’ve probably heard Dorothy Parker’s famous quote, “Men seldom make passes. At girls who wear glasses.” Well, apparently Acuvue agrees, as evidenced by their new “1 Day” ad wherein a teenaged girl sighs that one day the boy of her dreams will notice her. It turns out that day is the same day she gets rid of her nerdy nerd glasses. They should instead show a cute hipster guy saying “Nice glasses,” which is what will happen once this girl gets to college.

Obviously Axe has never shied away from provocative subject matter in its commercials. The male-targeted body care line is all about sex, and usually finds clever ways to sell the idea of smelling like a frat guy. But this ad really takes the cake. I hope that every man who’s bathing himself knows how to clean his balls, but I’m sure ladies everywhere appreciate the public service announcement.
