underwear

You gotta love it when a commercial makes you laugh out loud. I know that in my memory, if an ad can make me laugh, I'm more likely to remember it and -- maybe -- buy the product.

Here's a couple of commercials from Fruit of the Loom that are just hilarious. Both extol the virtues of the company's underwear -- for men and women -- and use humor to sell the stretchy privates.

Yesterday I posted a commercial from Germany, and now we have another foreign ad. It's for Downy and features two guys at the laundromat washing and drying their clothes.

I think the moral of this story is this: don't smell someone else's underwear.

It's only January 14, but I think this might be the TV clip of the year.

70s pop singer Leo Sayer quit the UK version of Big Brother recently. Was he attacked by another player? Was there a love triangle? Was there some sort of confrontation in the house? Well, no. He quit because of...dirty underwear!

I guess the Big Brother rules say they won't give you more underwear if you want it, you have to clean your own. In the video after the jump, Sayer talks about not having clean underwear and the fact he doesn't want to wash his clothes in front of the other players because it's not "safe and sanitary." Hell, Jermaine Jackson even offers to wash the clothes for him! Sayer freaks out, and please note that a lot of the language isn't safe for timid ears. (After watching the video, go back to a gentler time and listen to Sayers' hit song "When I Need You").

Kittenpants, guest blogger over at CC Insider and curator of the quirky Web site Kittenpants.org, which I had the pleasure of contributing to a couple times before I became a world famous TV blogger, has written a hilarious post, a plea to Santa from Britney Spears' vagina for some nice cotton panties, and for her "host" to stop parading her around town.

Frankly, I don't understand why everyone is getting on Brit's case about this "no underwear" thing. It's fairly well-established that forgetting one's underwear is the most common of human errors. The only reason I'm never without my boxers is because I've tattooed "wear underwear" all over my body like Guy Pearce in Memento. Furthermore, isn't it possible that Brit is simply going without panties for a short time in order to air out any residual DNA left over from K-Fed? You know, like when you tap the bottom of a Pringles can to get the few remaining crumbs? I'm just guessing, it's not like I'm a biologist or anything.
