Bing Gets To Big Pimpin' For The Gap!

If only Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters could have lived long enough to have witnessed their innocent holiday recording get the house treatment...they would have been eternally grateful!

Plea: if anyone can ever find this remix, please alert both me and the world.

This intensely amazing Gap ad kills all other Christmas advertising attempts. This joint puts the cool in Yule. A forever classic.

Gap Makes "Ice Ice Baby" Cool!

As brilliant now as it was in the late 90s, when it premiered. How do they do that?

Endlessly mesmerizing.

Crazy Litttle Thing Called Dancing With Khakis On

Who ever heard of country line dancing in loose pants? Leave it to The Gap to start the hip trends...that never happen!

But also, leave it to Dwight to almost outdo Queen in this song's intense incredibleness.

Jump, Jive and Find A Tailor!

Good song. Bad pants. Couples fit. Pants don't.

This hit TV commercial also begat the biggest hoax of the 90s: kids are embracing swing music!

Dress You Up! Mood You Down!

Hey, it's the 90s, and this is Gen X, so lots of cynicism and no smiles. Appear detached. Appear unmoved. Appear in an ugly vest because it's the next best thing to plaid. But above all, sell dum clothes.

People All Over The World -- Show Off!

At the go-see, these were the kids who could ham it up best. Proves once again that beauty is only scarf deep.

Madonna and Missy Get Into The Groove

Missy Elliot lends some street cred to Madonna. The kids on the street want to know, as do we: "where ya get dum jeans?"

However, once we find out they're from The Gap, street cred goes out the window. 

Patrick and Claire Can Do Better

A true study in deliberate adorableness. And no, we haven't yet figured out how Claire can rip a pair of pants from Patrick's body and they are still in one piece, ready for her to wear. It can only be due to the magic of gorgeous people being deliberately adorable.

Pedaling The Gap

When Ashton, Zooey, Jay and Scarlett decide to ride their bikes in that "look-at-me" style, the streets are cleared, even of cars. However, naturally, a sculpture of a TV remains.

Orlando Bloom Runs Away in Gap Jeans

Run, Orlando!
Run, Kate!
Sing, Troggs!
Chase them, wanna-be's!

In the end, a scene that could have been totally chaotic turns into a beautiful thing. Orlando and Kate are feeling free. The wanna-be's are feeling like free stalkers!

Gap A Go Go!

If this doesn't make you want to wear khaki and dance in a very well-rehearsed and detailed manner, nothing will!

Sarah Jessica: I Enjoy Being A Hard-To-Look-At Girl!

Khakis for the short-legged.

One Sarah Jessica is more than enough, but here we are treated to a three-way-mirror's worth. Consider yourself warned.

Sarah Jessica Gets In the Way of Lenny Kravitz

Future generations will be confused, astounded and befuddled that a girl such as this is the centerpiece of a TV commercial. 

Only now is America coming out of its Sarah Jessica Parker hangover, thinking "what were we thinking?"

Leonard Kravitz tries his best to distract us from her.

Ronald McDonald Gets A Japanese Makeover

Ronald better work!  Although the big shoes could have stayed on.

Tommy Lee Jones Drinks Canned Coffee in Japan

We're not sure why he looks so worried. Perhaps he knows what canned coffee is going to do to his insides.

Leonardo Makes His PowerPoint.

When you are about to spend millions of dollars to buy a condo in Tokyo, you will need a PowerPoint presentation by real estate expert Leonardo DiCaprio. Where's my checkbook?

Harrison Ford Pimps Lager

Harrison has lost his way, but then finds where he needs to be, then gets lost again.

Ringo Starr for Ringo Drinks

Here, Ringo shows us why he's the most indispensable Beatle, from recording on Apple Records to pimping an apple-flavored drink.

A rare glimpse of Ringo where he is not obsessively flashing the peace sign. And the female voiceover is not disorienting at all.

Natalie Portman is Super Rich! Thanks to Japan!

On her audition, Natalie Portman absolutely killed!

Bruce Looks At A Suburu Quickly

"Bruce, we'll pay you two billion dollars to open  your eyes for about two seconds. You don't even have to say a word or actively endorse our product."

Brad Pitt's Coffee in a Can

What's exotic to the Japanese? Brad Pitt working in an office.

Sly Directs Flying Children

Here we see that Sly's directing talent is on par with instant soup.

According to Rock, it's pronounced "Kin-nor," not "Nor."

Arnold Goes Japan-nuts!

Surprising that "boi boi" hasn't yet become a catchphrase, but leave it to TV Dust followers to get the boi rollling.

That's some scary energy that the Govenator is exuding. And where might we purchase such an energy drink, of which Arnold thinks so highly?
