SNL suggests a *ahem* stocking stuffer...

Orignal.

And pretty damn funny.

Lookythere, NBC's posting their own stuff. I guess this is GooTube going legit, eh? At least, for now.

Ack. I try to be selective and targetted about what I view at YouGle, but here I just HAD to check out YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT preview. Gods of Kobol, please please please kill that crappy Victoria's Secret commercial meets GREASE sitcom—Please! It is Wrong.*

I'm tired.

Thanks to designfemme for the headzup on the SNL goodness, and joshua for an NBC-endorsed link.

Keep on keepin on~

* UPDATE/CORRECTION - Jan 4, 2007 * Saw a longer ad about what YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT is about—from the creators of DANCING WITH THE STARS, it's an AMERICAN IDOL-type casting call for a new broadway production of GREASE. If the re-tread of the music and costumes and dance are fer real... Yikes. I still want it killed. I mean, if you're going to update it, REALLY update it. Get Joss Whedon or Kevin Williamson or Paul Haggis or Kevin Smith to write you a contemporary smart/smartass DEGRASSI'd up storyline, team them up with some Tony-winning team of composers and lyricists, and *BAM* Gold! Or, heck, get the rights to BREAKFAST CLUB and do the 80s! Don't pervert GREASE's cotton candy take on the 50s cuz CHICAGO did so well. Boo.

I've only seen GREASE in movie and high school production forms.

* UPDATE/HA! - Jan 5, 2007 * Looks like NBC yanked the GREASE:YTOTIW ad that I describe in my original post. As much as it sucked, I would've liked for it to remain available for your disapproval. They've only got the more recent ad that explains the madness. Nuts. The sickening one would cut from Sandra's bedroom to this bright primary colored backdrop with a bevy of Victoria's Secret wardrobed chicks shot with some kind of porny filter syncing and dancing to a medley of Misfits (of JEM, that is Jem and the Holograms, fame, not high school stoner tees and jackets) versions of GREASE standards. Painful.

* UPDATE/HA! - later that day * It's more of a music video than a commercial. Not sure if/how/when it played on the telly. Found it again online at iFilm, for your viewing dismay. Unjoy!

* January 25, 2007. And the winners are...!

Thanks to Kathy of RED DOORS for pointing me to the Best (In Show) Danny and Sandy =)
