Have you seen Will and Grace star Megan Mullally in her latest production? No, not her work in the theater, including an upcoming revival of Lips Together, Teeth Apart. I'm talking about her butter commercial. Yes, yes, that's Megan Mullally in the "Turn the Tub Around" I Can't Believe It's Not Butter commercials.

I have to admit, when I first saw the commercial, I was stunned. It was the strangest margarine ad since William Shatner's classic Promise spots. But the more I've seen of Megan's disco-inspired musical extravaganza for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, the more I think that the whole thing is hilarious. Megan, in my estimation, has her tongue firmly in cheek.

She hasn't done this because she doesn't have other offers. Instead, it's more like this was a hoot and let's do it. Take a look and you'll see what I mean:



You know, there was something about this commercial that reminded me of a musical ad from back in the 1970s. It starred Ann Miller, the great MGM dancer who had been in On the Town and Easter Parade. It was also a big musical number. If you remember it like me, this should make you feel nostalgic. If you're not, you'll still enjoy it. I'd like to think that Don Draper would have approved of this one.
