Not exactly playing against type, Joe Pesci portrays an irritable hothead in this latest Snickers spot from BBDO New York, continuing the "You're not you when you're hungry" theme. He gets off a few nasty one-liners while chatting with a couple of girls at a party—one of whom, oddly enough, later turns into Don Rickles. The random pairing of celebs is somewhat amusing, although they really should have thought about getting Roseanne Barr and Pesci in the same spot, and letting them fight it out. Or perhaps bring the sharks over from the Snickers Peanut Butter Squared focus-group ad and have them sort everyone out.

Ron Jeremy and Pair of Sheep Keep Porn Away From Kids
Seven porn stars, two 8-year-old kids, two sheep, and a puppet teamed up for this new PSA from online anti-pornography ministry XXXChurch.com that urges parents to monitor their children's computer habits—i.e., keep them away from all the pornography. The spot shows kids mistyping words and discovering a whole new world of smut that literally comes knocking at the door—becoming more and more, shall we say, fetishistic as the ad progresses. Along with Pete the Porno Puppet (a staple of XXXChurch's ads since 2004), the adult stars making cameos are Brenda Black, Brandy Anniston, Tia Gunn, Rayveness, FattyD, Crissy Moran—and then the money shot, Ron Jeremy, who shows up with a couple of sheep. Must have been weird explaining that one to the child actors. (Hey, he's been into animals for a while.) Onscreen copy at the end reads: "Attention Parents: The Internet makes a lousy babysitter because porno is just a typo away." Via Work That Matters.
