This AWFUL Old Navy Commercial

Lawdy Lawd. Bootsy. What happened? Or rather, what didn’t happen? Because from the look of this commercial, you fell on some HARD TIMES, boo boo. Things must really be rough when you do a Old Navy commercial. Just ask Morgan Fairchild. She was hawking Performance Fleece in 1998. Please note – I do not blame George and Weezy for being in that spot because they are hilarious. I routinely say “I’ll be the best dressed” and snap my head forward thanks to them.

AnyhowdidthishappentoBootsy, let’s discuss this. It’s a badvertisement. I can just imagine the conversation:

“We need to sell boots. What shall we do?”

“I know, let’s ask a man with a name like the product! PROBLEM SOLVED!!”

Just…no. No to Bootsy, no to boots, and no to the commercial. NO. 

The folks at Old Navy better thank their lucky stars they had someone named Bootsy at the same time they needed to sell these ugly boots. How ever are they going to find someone named “Beefy Cut ‘Witty Saying’ T-Shirts” and “Unflattering Cargo Shorts”? Stop reading this, go down to the Registrar’s office, and fix this please.  Be like Mizzz Fairchild and make that money, y’all. This is a RECESSION!!!
