Oh, Brad Pitt’s brother, Doug. You seem completely charming and pleasant! I don’t even know what Virgin Mobile is, and I don’t live in Australia, but I’m totally on board with buying a bunch of it probably because look how your pants are so plain and modest birdhouses and LOL the suburbs. You brush your teeth just like human beings do, it’s crazy! Virgin Mobile: Whatever It Is, Brad Pitt’s Brother Doug And The Quiet Death of the Middle Class, So Buy It. HI, MY NAME IS DOUG DRAPER.

  1. He has one of those sentence names, except not quite in proper English.

  2. This sucks. I’ve been telling people Brad is my brother for years now (since it’s the first question people ask when they hear my last name). No more free anything for me. :(

  3. Well I have a new celeb now to crush on

  4. I really like this. Also his brother does a lot of work to get clean water to poorer parts of the world.

    Good job, Doug Pitt. You will be my most favorite Pitt from this point forward. Suck it, University of Pittsburgh.

    • His brother = Brad’s brother.

      Though the way that reads, it sounds like I’m talking about Brad Pitt instead of Doug aka MY #1 Pitt.

      His brother gets filmed a lot for eating things.” – me.

      • Ya, he’s the ambassador to…Tanzania…or something? Like not the official ambassador LOL LOL but was chosen for some sort of fresh water project? I guess what I’m saying is I really should have googled this before typing in my comment.

  5. To me, Doug is living the dream. If only Virgin Mobile could see that.

  6. Everything about this is the most embarrassing thing about this. I was physically squirming watching it.

    • Oh good, I am not the only one feeling tremendous second hand embarrassment from this.

    • He’s a dorky guy living in the suburbs of Missouri and seems to have a sense of humor about it. This is great. Even if the house is staged and it’s all fake, it’s very funny.

      And the guy really does do cool stuff to make the world a better place. I’d much rather watch him than some idiot aspiring actor.

      • But is he the voice of the Toys R Us giraffe???? – Tom Hanks’ brother.

      • My problem isn’t what he’s doing, he seems awesome…more that Virgin Mobile is exploiting him in a way and that they seem to pity him since his brother is an A-lister, so that he needs to get a taste of his brother’s life.

        Unless this is tongue-in-cheek and it went over my head. Which is certainly possible.

        • I think it’s his way to get free, decent travel for the rest of his life (which if his bio is accurate is probably necessary for his causes and/or finances) and their way to capitalize on a guy who seems in on the joke.

          This being said: Virgin Australia, I do very little, but if you want to see my home office and my dog and give me free travel? Make all the fun you want.

  7. doug pitt movies anyone?

    Hedges in the Fall

  8. Money(air)ball

  9. I hope my brother gets one of these endorsement deals some day.

  10. I thought Michael Pitt was the second most famous Pitt, but I was wrong.

  11. I just laughed so hard at this thread that I dropped my cookie into my cup of tea. Videogum made me laugh so hard that it ruined my evening snack.

  12. I didn’t know Tim and Eric were writing commercials yet.
