Kelly Clarkson, Coffee Ambassador…

My favorite part of this Green Mountain coffee commercial: “Ambassador” Kelly Clarkson manages three Spanish phrases (“buenos dias,” “salud,” and “cinco”) yet asks the Peruvian coffee bean picker a full English sentence and apparently expects him to understand. And he probably does, which is the ultimate indictment of our education system.

The Crazy Ones…

I was only able to get through about 30 seconds of this at a time.

I loved Mork & Mindy when I was a kid (and still do through the lens of nostalgia) but aside from that, I don’t find Robin Williams very funny. Maybe it was always Pam Dawber that made the show work. I think Williams is a great actor. He’s amazing in the rarely seen Seize the Day. I even think his performance in Robert Altman’s Popeye has a lot of uncredited depth.

Oh, and of course:

Yet, as a comedian, Williams reminds me of someone’s uncle after too much wine at Thanksgiving. Give me Madeline Kahn any day.
