I have decided that this week's FYY is going to be NHL commercials

clip one: The best of the NHL are getting ready for HD Center Ice. Martin St. Louis getting out of the tanning bed both amuses me and is incredibly creepy. And Joe Thornton, it's not that pants that make your butt look big, it's your body.


clip two: Even though Alex Ovechkin scratches his arms like a junkie in need of a fix, and even though he sounds like a Russian dog with peanut butter stuck in his mouth, this commercial for Eastern Motors always gets a laugh out of me. The ballerina twirl at the end seals it.


clip three: a very special message from the Atlanta Thrashers: Stop making bad commercials!

Friday SATURDAY YouTube Yoinkage, November 21, 2009

I call this the "that...that JUST happened" edition, because today's clips are videos that have only one approprate reaction: "That...that JUST happened."

Clip one: bowling WOULD be better if it was hockey:

Clip two: a figure skater runs a hockey game while looking FABULOUS! against freakily animated hockey players.


Clip three: Snickers apparently make you able to break the penalty box, but only for the World Championship:

In which Matt Stajan turns into a damn dirty hippie

(SCENE: MATT STAJAN is at the Air Canada Centre to film a commercial for Earth Hour.)
WWF PERSON: Ok, Matt, you think you could do another take of this commercial for Earth Hour?
MATT STAJAN: Another? But we’ve been here for like three hours. I wanna go home.
WWF PERSON: Come on Matt—don’t you care about the cute little fuzzy animals?
STAJAN: Of course I care about the cute little fuzzy animals—why else do you think I hang out with Ian white?
WWF PERSON: Just give it another go, could you?

STAJAN: NOW can I go?
WWF PERSON: How do you think that run went?
STAJAN: I dunno. Fine. But thinking about all this earth stuff is kinda making me want to eat granola and play hackeysack while listening to Bob Marley
WWF PERSON: You just read that like a nervous 10 year old giving a book report in front of the class
STAJAN: Can I go now?
WWF PERSON: I guess. We’ll just see what the best take was.
STAJAN: I wonder if I'd look good with dreadlocks?
