Welcome to Friday afternoon. Time to stand up, drop trou, and air out your junk.
The song is by The Poxy Boggards. Lyrics here if you'd like to sing along.

I wasn't really liking it until it got to Germany, and then it sort of starting looking like Benny Hill, and I remembered that I sort of like Benny Hill.

And yet when I do this on campus I get a half-nelson and an escort from the premises. 'Casual Fridays' my ass.

They've changed that commercial. Now they have a tag at the end which states, "Buy two pairs of pants at our website, and get a t-shirt for free. Do it now, or we'll keep running this commercial."
Since I have no objections to bearded geek types wandering around my television screen wearing no pants, I haven't placed an order.

Well, it certainly makes a surreal soundtrack for the Postcards from Hell post.

me, from the previously:
If that Dockers commercial had been for CK or Hanes or something, and didn't end with that stupid "it's time to wear the pants" crap, I predict it would be universally revered, passed down through the ages like a holy relic, to be mouthed by babes long after its relevance has decayed.
Because really. Fuck pants.
So my reaction is pretty much:
WOOOO!

I didn't see the ad when it ran in the Super Bowl; I didn't see it until about a month ago, and feel so very very in love.
This is even better.

I saw these gents two years ago at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale, California -- a blasted industrial hell-zone laughably ill-suited for anything pastoral or pleasant. If you live in the LA area, catching them at that particular venue -- a "wrecked ship" at the edge of the Santa Fe Dam Reservoir, framed by the mountains and suburban sprawl of the San Gabriel Valley -- is the only way to go. Can't say it's the sort of a thing I'd listen to -- or, more importantly, make other people gather around the office computer to chortle at after the big strategic planning meeting -- but I can say The Boggards are a blast; so good, in fact, that I only thought once while watching this video, "Gracious, but how Caucasian we're being right now!"

". . . You take everything as a sign not to wear pants! Including our tearful pleas to, for the love of God, wear pants!"

the guy with the long black hair is smoking hot. Meow!
He also seems to be AWFULLY amused with the line "Mark well upon my lance/it bounces whilst I dance."

....I had to use Babelfish to do it, but I just got an approximate translation for the Italian and German verses. The Italian is something like: "I wear no pants! I watch football, not old macaroni, I wear no pants!" And the German is: "I wear no pants! Fasten a [blick -- it couldn't translate that] to my enormous prick, for I wear no pants!"
This makes it all the better.

I think they were basically saying "Take a look at my enormous prick", FYI.

I saw lots of pants in that video. I want my money back.
When someone says they aren't wearing pants, there's no point half-assing it. I expect, well, full-assing.

I know I'm a nerd because I remember that artwork on the DM screen when they're playing AD&D.

More specifically, underpantaloons.

The Italian
"I do not wear pantaloons
I do not wear pantaloons
Look at my balls
Not old macaroons
I do not wear pantaloons."

On the flip-side, gender-wise: as I was watching the video progress, I kept thinking, "Oh man, it's kind of sad that they know precisely one hot woman and they are determined to just get as much mileage out of that acquaintance as they possibly can."
Actually, the redhead is apparently a porn actress. History does not record whether she's a friend or was hired or what.

I'll watch this just because I remember their cover of Santa Dog way back in the 90s.
