Lame promos. Once again, they are using her because she is controversial and people can't look away from a train wreck.

The only thing funny was that she keeps scooting away from him. It didn't take much thought for these videos and they were just "what ever". Not entertaining just 2 people in front of a camera saying whatever.

The only thing good about these ads is Russell Brand. Everyone who is fawning over Britney with their, "Wow. She's making a comeback!" Are your standards that low? You should be saying, "Wow. She actually got someone to comb her hair for once." I'm sorry, people, but her time in the spotlight has long since passed.

I thought these were cute - simple, not overdone. The elephant was brilliant. It's an OK use of humor to acknowledge that last year, everybody messed up (MTV for hyping what they had to have suspected would not be possible; Britney for not taking it seriously for whatever reason).

Now, if every other joke on the VMAs (terrible show lately anyway) is about Britney, then it's way overdone. I think these promos are an OK way to address it without going overboard.

I mean, I kind of think the ads are cute. They're not stellar or anything, but I will say that she seems like the old Britney. You know, early 00's-oops-i-did-it-again Britney.

I love it. Her laugh is great too - it's a real laugh, not one of those fake ones that all the other wanna-be's do.
She looks FANTASTIC.

cute! i'm just rooting for her to get her act together. i don't understand people that can't forgive her for the "rough" years. if your life hasn't been documented since you were 16 for all the world to see, then you're not allowed to judge! I'm sure everyone has at least one full year of their lives they wouldn't mind erasing. go brit-brit!!

I think it's cute. Good for her for finally getting it together. Everyone who thinks this is lame has to be very negative. Why not just be happy for someone who's life has been a mess for so long?

well her laugh in both (but much more in the first than second one) was a tiny bit freaky and annoying, but other than that she looks pretty again and isnt flashing anyone or attacking a car with an umbrella so its all good !
Laughing out loud
