The Eight Best Moments of Tom Brady's New UGG Commercial
True (riveting) story: I once saw Tom Brady walking down Newbury Street in Boston. He was about 90 feet tall, tan, and wearing a Red Sox cap. This must have been 2004. I realized who he was just after he passed me, and thought, I don't know what to do, so I turned around and followed him. Then I realized that was weird, so I crossed the street and followed him from the other side. Then he went into Ermenegildo Zegna, and I turned back around and walked away.
ahhhhhh make it go awayyyyyyy
Speaking of such things, Edith, your doppelganger was at the Beacon Hill Athletic Club in the North End last night. It was uncanny!
@boyofdestiny miss u every day billy tse's
@boyofdestiny Whaaaat!!!
@Edith Zimmerman It was nuts! I had a tiny moment where it was like "I recognize this person!", and then I thought "…from her thumbnail avatar on her website that she writes from New York. Woops."
@boyofdestiny Another true story: The first time I met Choire, I waved and smiled and said hi like he was a long-lost friend. (And he, being The Best, promptly came up and said hello right back.) And it was only in the midst of doing all that that I realized, hey wait! I don't actually know this person.
@boyofdestiny Speaking of doppelgangers:
I don't know who this Tom Brady person is (should I be ashamed?), but I went scrolling through all eight images thinking, "How could she get Jared Padalecki's name wrong?!? Is he trying a Traveling Wilburys thing? He's not very good at disguising himself!" Well in any case I was wrong but he is also 8 feet tall and I have run into him on the street in Vancouver before, so basically I am Edith's life experiences doppelganger.
And I am okay with that.
I can't wait until Nnamdi Asomugha puts up three INTs and Todd Herremans sacks the shit out of this clown on November 27.
(THAT'S RIGHT. I SAID IT. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES.)
@Clare Sigh. Only a team as loathsome as the Eagles could compel me to root for the Pats.

@boyofdestiny Word. I hate Tom Brady with the heat of a thousand suns…but I hate Michael Vick WAY more.
I'm a Jets fan (and Giants, pre-midseason collapse), but even I can admit here that the Pats are the lesser of two evils.
@Clare I cannot thumbs up you enough!
@Clare We are truly soulmates.
@Clare I believe it's spelled I-G-G-L-E-S.
@Clare Yes, the Iggles will destroy Pretty Boy and the flying Elvi. But Todd Herremans plays offensive tackle so I dont see him getting any sacks. If he did it would be amazing though.
@sp8ce Someone's a TMQ fan…
"Quick, to the shoe store! Edith will never find me in there!"
LOL, JK – the inside of his brain sounds more like, "(white noise)"
@parallel-lines: Your punctuation is perfect. It made me lol.
I HATE HIM SO MUCH.
::recommences weeping for Peyton Manning's poor neck::
I wonder if he smolders at opposing defenses the same way he does in that last pic
Those are some bad-ass fluffy boots.
The first few pictures look like Tom Brady did a Freaky Friday body switch with a dog. Or like that crazy quasi-hippie dude on your block tripping on bath salts and trying to pop you because he thinks you're a bubble.
The alt text is, well, everything to me.
Sooooo, who's covering footy for the 'Pin?
The absolute best part of this is when they use the same camera-work as Mitchell and Webb's Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

@Abe Sauer Holy shit, your comment might be the only thing that actually gets me to watch this shitshow of a commercial!
@Abe Sauer (And from now on, if ever I see Brady have to hustle from scrimmage, I will sing "dun da da dun da da dun da da da da DAAAAA!")
@Abe Sauer Dude, you're right. Amazing.
I like the fact that Brady is almost running throughout much of this commercial. I just think the notion of him borderline jogging everywhere he goes is kind of funny. Dashing while dashing, you might say.
@Graydon Gordian Actually, he's probably just trying to shake Edith. She's pretty quick so you gotta keep up the pace.
@Graydon Gordian She spent quite a bit of time on the treadmill yesterday.
@Graydon Gordian It really seemed like he was the bag man for some drug tycoon he was trying to get rid of the tail on him byt pretending to play with a random dog in the park. Then he dropped off the bag full of cocaine and went to hide out in a dark locker room.
That guy has super weird hair in the first pictures. Like, it's okay in the pictures where it's combed and parted, but what the hell is going on in the first pictures?
He's just like that IRL, except he goes on and on about some lady who blogs, blah-blah-blah, if only he could have met her just once, but she would never have given him a chance, she loved her dolls too much, &c. &c. &c., and even made one out of ice cream and hair and wrote letters to women's magazines about it, and she seemed so kind, and now it was TOO LATE….
Then he has to sit down and hug his knees to his chest and stare off thinking of what might have been.

I can't watch the video right now, but I enjoy speculating, based on the pictures, that its premise is a horror movie, where the sexy, wholesome-seeming guy turns out to be the psychopath murderer. The turning point is Picture 5.
@MissT123 Yes. By Picture 8, he's lowering the basket into the pit and saying "It puts the lotion on its skin…"
OK now I can't unsee the fact that Tom kind of looks like Gary Busey here.
As a Patriots fan, all I want to do is take Tom aside and tell him, "Oh honey, no. I still love you, but please stop giving everyone so much material."
I like the music choice. Now I will feel hood when I wear uggs to walk my dog in January.
I can't even wear my Brady jersey anymore.
"Picture 18"
Spare a bit of pity, if you would, for us poor football fans who do not have hunky man-mountains leading our teams. Alas. (Although I think I may be watching more Packers games this season, because their linebacker with the long blond hair- Clay Matthews?- looks like a movie-star Viking. Me gusta.)
