Well, this was inevitable. William Shatner has managed an amazing career that might even return him to the big screen in the next Star Trek movie, but people always gravitate to the Shat’s recording career. There’s just something irresistible about William Shatner intoning the lyrics to popular songs in his immortal spoken-word style. The classic Queen song “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a great match for Shatner, too–and we finally get that epic pairing in a commercial about a teddy bear who seems to be starting up a hot relationship with a unicorn.
We’re not exactly sure what this commercial is supposed to be selling. We think that Thomson is a UK travel agency, and Shatner is singing about a guy who’s about to die while we’re smiling because the bear is enjoying a really good vacation. The smile seems to be the most important part–and we’re pretty sure that you’ll be smiling by the end of this…
