Comedian-Cast Hotel Commercials

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Travel Accommodation Ads Star Jane Lynch and Bobby Lee

— June 28, 2016 — Pop Culture
These travel accommodation commercials by Booking.com portray comedians Jane Lynch and Bobby Lee as a supremely awkward couple.

The 15-second commercials show the strange couple furiously making out on a bed and feeding sushi to one another on a tropical landscape, telling the story of their time away for a friends wedding. Another ad shows that the two never actually made it to the wedding that they planned on attending, opting to stay at their hotel and enjoy the company of each other instead -- much to the dismay of a strange troll-like flower girl.

Jane Lynch and Bobby Lee use their comedic talents in the travel accommodation ads to market the luxury of the spaces provided by Booking.com while also capturing the undivided attention of potential travelers.
