Welcome To Crazytown, Population Dan Aykroyd
There is nothing crazier in the entire world, which is a very crazy place, than Dan Akroyd (Dan Aykroyd!) starting his own line of crystal-filtered vodka, sold in a skull shaped bottle, and based on his lifelong fascination with the occult. Well, there is one thing crazier in the entire world, and that is an 8 minute long advertisement featuring Dan Aykroyd in which he explains his new line of crystal-filtered vodka, sold in a skull-shaped bottle, and based on his lifelong fascination with the occult.

NUUUUUUUUTS. That is nuts. Dan Aykroyd's family can't come to your party this weekend because they're going to spend all day Saturday checking out hospitals.

this is obviously a high-concept (read: not really funny) farce. especially noticeable when he mentions the "really cool bottle" and triple Herkimer diamond filtering. It's meant to be weird/funny.
also anyone notice the Indiana Jones connection? Aykroyd was in one of the original trilogy, and is good friends with Spielberg. perhaps this is just a strangely conceived DVD tie-in? no stranger that the plot of Indy 4.

Four minutes spent extolling the artistic virtue of a tacky glass skull.
This is actually kind of brilliant. Even the ridiculous length of the clip adds to it.

Herkimer Diamonds are just double-terminated quartz (basically like a crystal form of fools' gold). I think that about clinches it. Along with some of the other things pointed out this is clearly a joke, however elaborate. Think about it: if you're Dan Aykroyd, why the hell wouldn't you?
