Michael Bay Directs New Victoria's Secret Commercial

The new ad debuted during the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last week, and features all of the loud music and lingerie-clad ladies you would expect from Michael Bay (and Victoria's Secret, we suppose), plus knife throwing, helicopters, and slow-motion explosions under a desert sunset, of course.

The man behind Transformers and Bad Boys launched his directing career with music videos and television commercials, and Bay has directed several Victoria's Secret spots before, but this has to be considered his masterpiece.

Watch the video below:

As AdFreak explains: "It works better than most of his films, actually, because he doesn't have to bother with nuisances like logic, plotting and character development and can focus on the evocative imagery and cinematic élan." That's a fancy way of saying that Bay can focus entirely on using as many scantily clad babes, quick cuts, and fiery explosions as he wants.
