Heineken beer is a nasty, nasty excuse for a lager. Nevertheless, I am unashamed that I like the catchy Chris Knox tune "I Want You" in the recent commercial for Heineken and have even purchased it on iTunes. (The commercial is an excellent recovery from the previously literally unwatchable freaky robot lady - sort of a sexed up Rosie the Jetsons' maid jolting in time to some terrible techno music and seizure-inducing flashing lights.)Normally, I would refuse to support a bad product by not watching their commercials (I'm talking to you, Chevy Truck Month) but I must watch the entire "Share the Good" commercial every time it comes on TV because my husband is an oddball who often doesn't realize how funny he is. As this poor, unsuspecting ballerina is about to discover, the directors have her accepting a single beer from a fine looking Mexican vaquero, only to be asked to carry a tray full of Heineken to a Turkish bathful of lecherous, wrinkled gents in little more than bathrobes, towels and Speedos (not the Olympic-record breaking variety) who will cheer lustily as she enters their sauna in her tu-tu.
Everytime she appears on our TV set, my DH stands up and yells, "No! Don't go in there! Don't do it!" and then, as soon as she enevitably does, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" which immediately puts me in stitches. I love this ad.
