Get Ready To Hate This Gap Ad For Six Agonizing Weeks
A tipster sent this to us with the subject line "Jingle FAIL." Which is correct:
It stars the following people (all of these things are not like the others):
Sandra Bernhard, Janelle Monae, Jon Heder, Rainn Wilson, Selma Blair, Trey & Flo, Dixie Chicks, Freddy Rodriguez, Romany Malco, Jason Biggs.
I've got it! Okay: The only celebrities not asked to do a Get Out The Vote Ad who all have the same agent. Do I win? (Thanks to Scott for the tip!)

If there was a gun to my head and I was to find one thing I liked about Jingle Fail, it would be Selma.

Has anybody seen the Mohegan Sun "My Sharona" ads? UGH. It's a master class in shedding your last ounce of dignity:

Even though I don't identify with any of the terrible genres of music that this is a 'fusion' of or whatever, I still feel insulted. It's like the GAP is telling me they think this is what I like. This is not what I like. Ew.

Why Rainn!? Why!!!??

janelle monae is the worst because she takes herself so seriously in this lampoon of an ad.

Oh.. my head.
If there's one thing that Videogum has taught me it's that most adverts from the US are absolute crap. These things are supposed to make you buy stuff right?
