This is the first in a 3 part series called The Naturist. The only version I’m allowed to release is this one minuter because that’s the one they’re going to put on the TV. There’s a 3 minute version of this I like better but I like really dra-a-a-a-g-g-g-ging out a joke. I guess you kids today would prefer this one anyway. Please try this at home.
There’s an interview about it here.
Backstory here.

HA!! You guys should do a spot with The Snuggler…
07.10.09 at 12:23 pm
Oh man, I already find it difficult to make fun of this.
07.10.09 at 1:05 pm
Well done. Making it stylish with Gavin
07.10.09 at 1:16 pm
ok! why?
07.10.09 at 1:53 pm
there’s only one real question here: will you wear Tevas? will you? and not the shoe ones – oh no, the fucking phish concert going patchouli smelling hippy sandal ones. JUST DO IT.
07.10.09 at 2:08 pm
Ahahahahah!!!
07.10.09 at 2:16 pm
That one got a lol out of me, good job
07.10.09 at 2:34 pm
what type of conditioner do you use?
07.10.09 at 2:34 pm
getting paid for being a swifty leads to loads of random switches that turn shit on and amazing maple floors and crazy cutting food shit up counter tops. (why do all my old girlfriends shit on me/men for liking wood?) -jami
07.10.09 at 2:38 pm
obviously you would not last an hour in the woods. i have been trained and certified. i could take you out for a night in the bush. you would walk like a man who has received the natural way of a real wood man.
i would be happy to advise the show
07.10.09 at 2:53 pm
Tevas?
07.10.09 at 3:12 pm
this bring to mind the little ad rant you had a few days ago
07.10.09 at 3:17 pm
Sell out! Just kidding. Good job on the special fx. Funny too.
07.10.09 at 3:19 pm
Tevas have the perfect springy souls which helps you bang better, more accurate curling thrusts while having sex standing up on mountains or rocky areas. You could never achieve this in a pair Chuck Taylors. Trust me.
07.10.09 at 3:48 pm
Oh Gavin, you are too amazing. I love you.
07.10.09 at 3:48 pm
You had me at “I’m not flying down here anymore!”
07.10.09 at 3:59 pm
This is going to go up like gangbusters
07.10.09 at 4:03 pm
i like where this is going. teva really makes it look more like a viral ad campaign though. my only solution is buy more tevas?
07.10.09 at 5:00 pm
can’t “enjoy” my weekend w/out knowing whether “gavin” is 2 ‘alt’ for a ‘mainstream’ shoe like Tevas via #thewoods and #nature and #boysfightclubfirestartin’times.
worried about ‘gavin’. wondering if he is ‘authentic’ and ‘punk’ or more like a post/electroclash/crustpunk/lifestylemag/photog/fashion commenter.
not sure about n e thing n e more.
sad.
worried.
is a life without memes worth living?
if its not hyperlinked, does it still exist?
do ya’ll think michael jackson’s dick got bleached 2?
get @ me ya’ll.
<3 u guys.
07.10.09 at 5:00 pm
forgot to wish ya’ll a cool ‘weekend’
07.10.09 at 5:01 pm
very funny. poorly mixed.
07.10.09 at 5:05 pm
Surprisingly effective. This is the first form of web advertising that I have actually bothered to check out the website for. Good work.
07.10.09 at 5:34 pm
Next will you teach us how to hunt, kill, and cook dinner? Please?
07.10.09 at 5:49 pm
How many kittens do you give someone with Tevas? You sell out.
Funny video though. Oh well. Just don’t expect Bill Hicks to give you the time of day in heaven.
07.10.09 at 6:44 pm
its funny but those shoes get no kittens.
07.10.09 at 6:50 pm
yeah the whole fire scene is too long. you should have a couple hand/face shots while you’re fiddling with the fire (ray mayers style) and it would be perfecto.
07.10.09 at 7:03 pm
lol
07.10.09 at 7:50 pm
Hey, you could be Super Dave Osborne’s reincarnation, except Super Dave aint dead yet.
here’s an idea you can steal from me:
While out showing your animal tracking skills and camouflage techniques, It’s starts pouring rain in the forest. your inadequate means for building a shelter fail and you start running full speed back to “base camp”, except quickly it becomes apparent that you are lost and you start crawling and crying like a baby, when all of a sudden the most perfect shelter built appears.
“oh, thank god, thank god” and you stumble upright to the shelter when a crazy and very harry wildman survivalist darts out and wrestles you to the ground bashing your skull against a rock and dragging your twitching body back into his “lair”.
Cue the Tevas , with logo, by the soothing brook.
07.10.09 at 7:59 pm
you guys stolen my idea, dunny! what up with that. those dudes at teva are so dead its not even funny
07.10.09 at 8:34 pm
PS can you do an episode where you come to portland and drink some beers in my back yard? BYOB SON HA HA HA. But seriously though, do a fake this old house and fix my porch before we hit the back yard. don’t worry son, i’ll make sure there’s girls there.
07.10.09 at 8:36 pm
It’s funny that Teva is sponsoring you after years of ragging on sandals. Teva must be trying to move away from their sandal-centric image.
07.11.09 at 3:53 am
heee! I like. Reminds me of Zach Galifinakas (sp??) Absolut commercials
07.11.09 at 9:00 am
q: why are you doing a spot for a sport sandal company?
a: because you are running out of money
07.11.09 at 9:18 am
haha yes this does remind me of a rant from a few days ago… we should have seen this coming. that being said i totally agree with you, this was a very effective ad because it was actually funny. nice job. i approve. dick.
07.11.09 at 10:01 am
@ Tom. It is not funny to talk like Carles. Ever. Everyone get the reference, and nobody cares. HRO is bloody faggotry.
This commercial was funny. I liked it. I sure as fuck wouldn’t buy Tevas, but y’know, I might get a pair for my dad or something? I guess it worked…
07.11.09 at 1:04 pm
jesus christ. That’s not me up there.
No one could sell out so gloriously as McInness. Wow. If Teva only knew what this man thinks about Tevas.
07.11.09 at 1:40 pm
fyi the penis/shit streetcarnage header is my favourite to date.
07.11.09 at 2:55 pm
ha…i’m happy that you’re trying to make a buck doing something semi-funny. and who gives a fuck if it’s Teva you elitist fags. he doesn’t mention their shitty sandals, they’re just paying (god i hope they’re paying you) him to be silly and tagging their name in there. same shit as ZG.
get that money while you can.
07.11.09 at 5:57 pm
gay.
07.11.09 at 6:57 pm
Im the Snuggler, I snuggle.
07.11.09 at 11:50 pm
whoa dude.
DON’T: Teh-vuhs
DO: Chacos + Vibram.
07.12.09 at 2:00 am
it ain’t like he’s hawking elephant tusks and napalm — he’s pitching shoes. the idea that he actually has to like the product to endorse the product is naive. it’s called advertising. would he somehow have “more integrity” if he were pitching penguin shirts and fred perry? the guy has gotten on our radar by writing cynical and funny do’s and don’ts about hipster fashion. good for him if he can cash in on his notoriety and make a buck for hi family.

This vid popped up after Gavins. I think it should be the shows theme song.
07.12.09 at 5:37 pm
That was fucking funny.
07.12.09 at 6:47 pm
yup, that was really fucking good.
07.12.09 at 11:13 pm
also, its not called ’selling out’, its called ‘that shit is fucking funny’
07.12.09 at 11:15 pm
my favorite part is when he punches the fungus.
07.13.09 at 12:54 am
oh my gosh. oh my gosh.
07.13.09 at 3:56 pm
Reminds me Brockville for some lame reason, I went there once. The only thing sader than Brockville on a Tuesday October night is the Holocaust.
07.14.09 at 4:17 am
When did you first shoot this? the only real way to see if this fucker is a sellout is to notice if he’s been wearing tevas thru out every piece of footage he has, since the beginning. If he’s prancing around in some fuckin tevas-brand gore-tex, speed strap shit, it’s likely that tevas approached him with the idea. If he’s been wearing chucks or some SB’s or whatever, he probably IS a comic genius and tevas was lucky enough to be in the right place at teh right time.
07.14.09 at 5:14 am
Anyone who calls this a ’sellout’ is a fucking moron.
a) It’s excellent and VERY funny
b) Gavin is literally pioneering a new model of advertising here – give him some fucking credit.
good shit
