Amy Poehler Turns Art Critic for Old Navy

By Patrick Coffee 

The latest spot in Old Navy’s ongoing series starring Amy Poehler debuted this week. Chandelier Creative of New York casts the Parks and Recreation star in what may be her oddest role yet: art buyer/critic.

In a mildly amusing twist, Poehler’s best imitation of Edith Head manages to simultaneously comment on the aesthetic merits of both the art on offer and the Old Navy model’s posterior.

Also: in a phenomenon fairly unique to this campaign, the outtakes are almost better than the spot itself.
