needscoffee, there was a bit that totally reminded me of the bit in Pee wee’s Big Adventure where he’s with Mickey and he improvises and turns into Mickey’s wife. ---

To be fair, no one **is** a muffin top. Like camel toes it’s something you have from dressing in ill-fitting clothes, not something you are. ---

That is John Krasinski, isn’t it? It was very funny and catchy, but they shouldn’t have waited till the end to have the logo and web site. They should have had it printed on some of the items, like a T-shirt he was wearing or the rug he was standing on. This is just from an effectiveness standpoint. It kind of sounded like the lyric was “to keep the whole world fancy-free” and after about two minutes I was wondering what I was supposed to _do_. By the end some people who might not know or care who Jim Parsons is might have lost interest. ---
