Is it even a word? Who cares. We are ever grateful to the copywriters Sebastian Housden and Sydney Lindsey of Goodby Silverstein & Partners for entering the word ‘pelvicular’ into the culinary cultural lexicon.
Coupled with the rotating hips of Dan Levy (co-creator and star of Schitt’s Creek) it’s just one of the highlights of this hilarious spot, One Upper, directed by Martin Granger through Moxie Pictures.
Engaged in a competition to best convey how spicy the new Tostitos Habanero snack is, Levy trades evermore dotty descriptions with comic Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live).
She almost trumps him with "For me, I think it's ... it's drama. It's, 'Victor, I'm leaving!' That sort of level of spicy."
But Levy comes back with an ambitious expression of spiciness – via the medium of gymnastics – that renders him triumphant, if broken.
