Watch Drew Barrymore Sing About Crocs, Or Don't, Because Crocs Are All About Being Comfortable 

Latest

One of the most inspired celebrity endorsement deals these days is the one between Drew Barrymore and Crocs. She’s not the greatest actor in world, but doggonit, she’s one of the most charming. And Crocs aren’t the greatest shoes in the world, but doggonit, they’re among the most comfortable.

In their latest collaboration, tied to the brand’s non-Nirvana-related tagline “Come As You Are,” Crocs and Barrymore created a fun new commercial. It’s more of a short film, actually. A short musical film. The 90-second clip has a sort of Old Navy meets the first quarter of La La Land aesthetic—a primary color-filled journey that follows Barrymore through a series of minimalist sets (each representing a daily activity in which you could theoretically wear and be comfortable in Crocs) as she sings about not needing to be a “model” or having a “perfect body” to be “comfortable in your own shoes.”

OK, fine, you got me. I can’t keep up this facade any longer.

But even though I love that 4-second moment, it’s not my favorite Crocs+Drew collaboration. This is:
