The Fringe mid-season finale had the show’s lowest ratings yet, dipping below 3 million viewers. And with Supernatural and Grimm both airing new episodes tomorrow, the mid-season premiere could be even lower.

Instead of a ghost bartender poisoning the father with alcohol, there’s a ghost maid seducing the father with her very tangible body.

This aptly named Toyota Prius commercial features a giant person made up of regular-sized people. Its jaw literally drops when it sees the new Prius Family, which like the People Person has unraveled into many.
