Watch Drew Barrymore Sing About Crocs, Or Don't, Because Crocs Are All About Being Comfortable

One of the most inspired celebrity endorsement deals these days is the one between Drew Barrymore and Crocs. She’s not the greatest actor in world, but doggonit, she’s one of the most charming. And Crocs aren’t the greatest shoes in the world, but doggonit, they’re among the most comfortable.

But even though I love that 4-second moment, it’s not my favorite Crocs+Drew collaboration. This is:
