One of Saturday Night Live’s best sketches of the past season was the spoof of Justin Bieber’s Calvin Klein Ads with Kate McKinnon as The Biebs. SNL knows this was pure gold, so they just released the outtakes (above)… and they’re just as funny and ridiculous as the original sketch (below).

That Moment When: The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 Accidentally Includes The C-Word In Their Promo Image
Last week, the marketing team behind The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 tweeted an image (since deleted, but the screen cap is above) touting only 100 days until the film’s release. But some many noticed that if you look real close, the second zero in “100” actually looks like a “C,” and the letters “U-N-T” from the word “until” when added to that sorta “C” help create a new, sorta-NSFW version of the image. Oops.

Arby’s decided to take lemons roast beef and make lemonade a brilliant move of viral marketing.
This Is The One Minions Product Tie-In The World Absolutely Doesn’t Want Or Need
Maybe you’ve seen the Minions on your Amazon boxes, or Minions Marshmallow Peeps (amazing!), but Minions TAMPONS, really?!?!? Thankfully, the tampons aren’t a REAL Minions product-tie in, but the above image was tweeted out by Kotex Puerto Rico to show their excitement for the movie. I’m guessing the Kotex customer base wasn’t as excited at the prospect of having eyes down there as Kotex deleted the pic (but it lives on… thx, internet!).
Justin Timberlake is unrecognizable dressed as a giant lime in this bizarro commercial
Justin sold his 901 Tequila brand to Sauza last year, but he still seems to be on their payroll as their spokesperson spokeslime.
WATCH the 2015 Super Bowl Commercials!
A lot of this year’s Super Bowl commercials have already been released, and I was gonna embed them all here… but there’s so many that it was gonna take forever for this post to load. SO… go check out the list that Variety compiled.
If you’d like to go back in time, go check out last year’s spots, too.
WATCH The banned Grey Poupon commercial
Truth be told, I doubt the was actually banned. My guess: the company realized more people would talk about the spot if they thought they weren’t supposed to see it, OR the company had second thoughts about an ad that forces people to associate their food product with fecal matter. Either way, it’s funny and has shades of those K-Mart “Shipped My Pants” commercials.
