I pity the fool who thinks Mr. T will ever go out of style—or that I would refrain from opening this story with the catchphrase of the aging '80s icon. Teaming the mohawked marvel with Anna Faris yields gold for Old Navy and agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Behold two minutes of inspired silliness promoting the retailer's "totally reinvented Best-Tees," touted as "the greatest, most softest, best-fitting tee[s] in the history of everything." Infomercial parodies are by now so familiar, this plays like one big post-modern in-joke.
