Ad of the week

I love Brad Garrett’s new 7-Up commercial.

Garrett, of course, is a comic who has played curmudgeons in “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “‘Til Death.” The ad begins with agents or some other Hollywood types telling him he would be perfect for another such grouchy role — but Garrett, sipping on a 7-Up, goes into a dream sequence where he’s skipping down the street, handing out balloons and singing a song to the tune of “(Everyone Knows It’s) Windy.”

Funny, without letting you forget the product.
