A Pick Me Up

Sometimes when I need a good laugh, I'll pop over to YouTube and watch the classics.  In my previous post addressing the greatest viral videos, I completely forgot to mention this honorable mention.

A few years ago, a banned commercial for the XBOX 360 made its way onto YouTube. I think the commercial aired a few times on national television, but was then pulled.  In reality, it's a lot cleaner than the other commercials out there.  The producers of the commercials held auditions in order to cast the large number of people needed for the shoot.  See the final project below:



The banned commercial owes much of its success on YouTube to another video related to the commercial- see what happens when a crazy old lady auditions for the commercial:



If you need a pick me up as you muddle through until Thanksgiving, just think of the crazy XBOX lady. I guarantee she'll put a smile on your face.

I would also like to mention that, every once in a while, when Jenny is drying her hair, she'll turn the hair dryer on me and shoot me with it x-box lady style. BAH! BAH! BAH!
