9 Groundbreaking Moments From Michael Bay's New Victoria's Secret Commercial

Better late than never, find herewith Michael Bay's blustery, satiny, much-anticipated Victoria's Secret commercial. The spot premiered during the recent VS Fashion Show on CBS, distilling a grab bag of Bay fetishes -- nudity, pyrotechnics, violence, aircraft (both idle and in operation), expensive cars, and women in peril -- to one extraordinary 92-second sit. And by "extraordinary," I mean "hunched so far over my desk with laughter I missed half the good stuff." So after several more thorough looks, and without further comment, I present nine mindblowing frames from an unprecedented masterwork of ADD, bombast, spectacle and tastelessness -- which of course I mean in only the best way. (The full ad follows as well.)

(NB: This is accompanied by an appropriately manufactured warble-scream from the very deepest part of Bay's soul; it must be heard to be believed.)

And the full masterpiece:
