Yes, We Really Did Do a Rap Video About Carmex

I’ve been buzzing about it all week on my Twitter (and you would have gotten a sneak preview if you followed me on Twitter!), but as a final thank you to Carmex for keeping this website in business another month, we did a rap video about their latest product, Carmex Moisture Plus. My cohorts here were Staci Parlari (you can catch her on Twitter here) and total hottie Guy Borgford (on Twitter here). I also have to give a major shout-out to Laremy Legel at Film.com for taking all the video (his Twitter? Is here.) We had SO MUCH FUN putting this together, and we hope you guys get a laugh out of it.

In all seriousness, though, we’ve had like a million little Carmex Moisture Plus applicators hanging around the office for the better part of the month courtesy of their PR team, and everyone keeps picking them up and using them and being like, “Oh, hey, is this the product we’re promoting this month? Wow. I really like this stuff. Can I keep this one?” So there ya go. Genuine endorsement. We like the product. We liked it so much we rapped. Enjoy.

  • I saw it earlier. It’s seriously cute, but you should have someone do some color correction, lay down some bg music, do a few more cuts. It’ll be worth it ! Where’s my Carmex (the metal tubs last forever !) !

  • Ok, I like the idea but I just don’t like the whole slutty theme. How about innocent-cute? Otherwise Carmex is pretty cool :).

  • Eh. I’d lay off the Botox if I were you.

    On a happier note, if Carmex now comes in a form other than those stupid tubs you have to stick your finger into, then that is good news indeed.

  • Omg what is on your forehead?
    Also you sound like an idiot. The only thing worse than a bimbo is a fugly girl trying to act like one … & failing.

  • I actually went out & bought some on Monday & I love it & so does my daughter. She thinks it smells great & I’m happy w/ the new design. I hated the old kind.

  • Wow. That was embarassing to watch. There’s nothing more cringe-worthy than that dumb-cutesy-girl head-bobby thing, especially when it comes from someone who sounds so intelligent in writing. You don’t do yourself any favors acting like a bimbette.

    • THANK YOU!!! I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m totally checking out d-listed after watching this retarded video.

  • I just watched the video on youtube, for some reason it wont let me watch videos in here anymore.. stupid internet..

    You look great Beet, i like how you got the bangs off of your face and on that puffy thingy, whatever it’s called.. Also, your hair looks friggin long! it really grew in no time, i’m impressed.

    The only thing i would suggest, is that you edit the video so that it doesn’t stop with the singing, and also, maybe some music on the background?… That’s it..

    You did a great job like always Beet, and you look really happy, i’m happy that you’re happy.

  • Oh yeah, by the way, i didn’t know what th ehell Carmex was until you started promoting it, so i went and bought some, and i’m loving it! the only thing is, i couldn’t find this new desing, so i had to settle for the metalic little bottle… I still like it though..

  • 1–no no no….you girls look stupid.

    2-who doesn’t know what carmex is? What are you? 12?

    3-I swear I see horns poking through beet’s forehead.

  • Only good part about this is the part about the cake that ur grammy made,, that was cute,, that is all thou,, rest blew

  • This is fucking pathetic. Beet (your meat) may write intelligently but when she speaks and acts like an utter fucking retard, I don’t care what she says in person my only response is too shake my head in utter fucking amazement at how much of an imbecile she is. No wonder she’s always bitching about how she doesn’t have a boyfriend.

    YIKES!

  • i can’t believe you trash other people for being stupid all day…and then you make…that. Really bad.

  • Unfortunately, some people that read your site are very mean spirited.
    Obviously they enjoy what you do or they would not be here. Kudos for putting yourself out there, just missed the mark a little. I would say that it is a little disappointing to see you dumb yourself down. You are super smart and entertaining. The people who have the most hits on youtube are mostly not trying to pose and be sexy (even jokingly) they are smart and clever when they make a fool of themselves. It would have been a great video if you played your self but with a little old school hip hop or something. Sideways hat, neon, bling. Get into character. Please keep on making silly videos and I look forward to
    seeing how they progress!!

  • wow…i agree that the video could have been made better, like with Liana’s suggestions about making it into an actual “rap” video rather than valley girl weird rap talk? but i def. think some of these comments are way to harsh and i hope you don’t let it get to you…i guess its just the nature of the beast, you have anonymity so therefore you will rip shit if you don’t like what you see.

  • Wow – what a bunch of low lifes spedning so much energy hating something that is just light hearted fun. Beet is not in the ‘advertising’ biz – so cut her some slack for just stepping outside of the lines to do something non traditional for her. I say kudos for doing something that no question made you happy – you can see the big smile on your face. Forget what the bashers say – they probably just sit on their computers all day looking for people to bash because of their own insecurities.
