Openly gay comics Kate McKinnon and Dan Levy have become the new spokespeople for Tostito’s new Habanero chips, and if said snack is as fun as this new commercial, we’re hooked.
The ad for the chips finds Levy & McKinnon engaging in a “spice-off,” a sort of passive-aggressive contest to see who is spicier. After snacking on the chips off-set together, they begin trying to best describe the flavor.

“For me, the spice is pelvicular,” Levy says at one point, rolling his hips.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“For me, I think it’s … it’s drama,” McKinnon replies with theatrical flourish. “It’s, ‘Victor, I’m leaving!’ That sort of level of spicy.”
It goes on from there. Levy whips out an unseen picture on his phone, causing McKinnon to gasp.
“That is spicy,” she admits. We have to wonder what Levy showed her–is it of him, or someone else?
The ad climaxes with McKinnon doing a Michael Jackson-style dance, and Levy dropping into the splits. Ostensibly, he wins the “contest,” though he can’t stand up after.
Check out the ad. Prepare for the giggles.

I’ve been trying to watch “Schitt’s Creek” but I can’t get into it. I’m feeling so unhip and old. It’s not funny. I do like Dan Levy, though, so there’s that.

You have to get past the first season and you will fall in love with them and comes to one of the very few great finales.

Apologies for that bad run-on sentence

Well, that’s the problem; I can’t get past the first season. It’s on Prime and I’ve managed four episodes. Maybe I should just skip to the next season or maybe the FINAL season!!! HA!
