Groovy Commercial: NBC's "Brotherhood of Man"

You gotta love NBC's Super Bowl commercial featuring the casts of 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Saturday Night Live and many other shows singing "Brotherhood of Man" from the 1961 Broadway musical, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. And it's also a fitting show tune welcome to the newest member of the NBC family, Smash, which won its time slot last night with over 11 million people tuning in to the series premiere.

Below I've also included a few other performances of the song - Barbra Streisand on The Dinah Shore Chevy Show on May 12, 1963 (with Shore, Georgia Brown, Sam Fletcher and the Chad Mitchell Trio), Robert Morse in the 1967 film version of How to Succeed, Matthew Broderick and Lillias White in the 1995 revival on the Tony Awards, and Daniel Radcliffe in the 2011 revival on the Tony Awards.

Groovy Commercial: Ferris Bueller is alive and well and driving a Honda

To promote their new 2012 CR-V, Honda has brought back actor Matthew Broderick in an amusing Super Bowl ad spoofing his 1986 John Hughes comedy, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Almost two million people have watched it since it was posted on YouTube last week - but over 1,500 have disliked it because they were hoping for an actual sequel or feel the commercial has somehow tarnished the beloved original. Oh please, get a sense of humor, people. At least Ferris Bueller hasn't returned as a shitty remake like 2004's The Stepford Wives or 2008's The Women. Now that would be something to bitch about.
