Been seeing this commercial a lot lately and I can feel the insufferable coming out of my TV every time it comes on. The song says "express yourself," but every single one of these people is some wacky anachronistic by the numbers stereotyped cliche of decade styles. 1950s greaser! 1960s SoCal surfer! 1970s roller boogie queen! 1990s hip-hopsters! Express yourself, but only if it's a collective decade style and not your own!

I mean, I get what the commercial is saying in its choices, but then I hear "THAT'S A TIIIIGHT SHIRT!!" and I get pissed off again.

This seems like they made it from the same template as the commercials trying to claim that fracking is totally safe and beneficial.

I'm just hoping that when they inevitably fail they put up a bunch of passive-aggressive ads complaining about it like AirBNB did when they had to pay taxes.

That first one is from seven years ago? I had no idea I just see it all the time. It took me a while to figure out why the girl at the end creeps me out and I finally realized she talks just like Jan Brady.

It's a funny commercial. They're offbeat comedians trying to play Gap model stereotypes. Not gonna shop at Old Navy or anything, but I'm happy Kumail Nanjiani can add "model" to his repertoire.

Old Navy commercials have sucked since the late '90s, when they had that golden retriever named Magic and that old woman with the owl-eyed glasses. They're both dead, but they would not be out of place today.

There was some bad blood as he did a commercial for another company that while it wasn't endorsing another system was videogame themed. Interestingly enough that wasn't the first time it happened as the classic 80's Wendy's "where's the beef?" lady got fired because she did an ad for another fast food place saying "there's the beef."

The acting in the remake is somehow even more stilted than the badly dubbed original.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
