Adidas' famous house-party commercial given a 'Simpsons' spin

Adidas's house party is still going on. The two-minute TV ad, introduced last December, has been viewed more than 800,000 times on YouTube, and now the ad is getting the ultimate pop-culture tribute: a Simpsons parody. This ad, which promotes the show's 20th anniversary, uses the same song—a remixed version of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' "Beggin'," by Pilooski—and features stitched-together moments of various Simpsons characters grooving and uttering signature catch phrases ("Ha ha!"). Since the show had 20 years of material to draw from, the ad was able to echo the commercial pretty closely. There's the buildup with Homer, Bart and others arriving at the club and even an underwater pool scene at the end. Unfortunately, the makers were unable to find a Simpsons equivalent of the original ad's most indelible moment: Katy Perry salaciously sticking out her tongue. D'oh!
