Ricky Gervais released a commercial for his Dutch Burn Vodka liquor company Wednesday, and it's a hell of a masterpiece.

Made in the style of a commercial for a major American pharmaceutical company, Mr. Gervais stands next to a bottle of vodka on a white background, staring straight into the camera, waiting for your attention. Next to him is a doctor (this is not a real doctor. advertisement).

“Like George Clooney in ER,” Gervais explains, smiling for the camera, so everyone at home feels safe while being introduced to the Dutch brand of vodka. “So, sir, could you tell me a few things about the dangers of alcohol?” Gervais continued. And here's where things get really good.

“There are a lot of things like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, weakened immune system, digestive problems, depression, violence, accidents,'' the man, who is not a doctor, answered.Despite being very dark, it's a funny work that will make you laugh out loud, so you can look forward to it. outtake From shooting right away.

It's a little hard to tell whether Gervais is just making fun of the big American pharmaceutical company ads that have become the laughing stock of the world. It's very strange that this country promotes pharmaceutical products like apparel brands. These TV drugs usually seem to work against illnesses caused by other drugs or poor lifestyle choices. And list the side effects? It's the strangest thing a non-American will ever witness, but is this what Mr. Gervais means?

Or are you mad at yourself for partnering with an alcohol company when there are so many negative side effects of drinking? Perhaps this style of commercial is a way to alleviate his guilt should something happen to those who choose to consume his co-brands.

The answers to these questions don't really matter at all. All that matters is how this vodka tastes. I'd be really sad if it didn't work.
