If you need a reason to smile, we've got it.

Behold the best thing ever: Patrick Swayze getting his groove on in a 1979 Pabst Blue Ribbon commercial.

Here the late star dons a whole lot of white and a perfectly coiffed 'do in celebration of the now-hipster-appropriated brew. After you watch this, the only three letters on your mind will be OMG.

But what's the use in trying to describe its genius -- there are simply no words.

Check out other some other star-studded commercials.

Dana Delany: Standing Up for My Father

My father taught me to Lindy as I perched on top of his feet. Three decades after pancreatic cancer took his life, it's still true that 75% of people diagnosed with the disease are dead within a year. How is this possible?

Marshall Fine: HuffPost Review: Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker is the kind of romantic comedy that Hollywood doesn't seem to know how to make anymore -- one that's actually both witty and romantic, with just the right accent of sadness and loss thrown in.

Tallulah Morehead: The Our Gang Oscars

This year's Oscar producers, Adam Shankman and Bil Mechanic, were so dedicated to the quixotic task of luring in young viewers, that we were given a show full of presenters that appeared to have gone through puberty during the rehearsals.

Una LaMarche: Oscars: The Live Blog

I love the Oscars. Love. I always have, ever since I first started watching circa age eleven, when Billy Crystal hosted every year. This year I'm liveblogging the show, so put on your tuxes and let's do this thing.

Scott Mendelson: Dumpster Diving: Deleted Scenes That Should Have Stayed in the Final Film

If you had a scene that explained away a massive plot hole, wouldn't you keep it in the final film? Stephen Norrington felt otherwise, leaving this breakthrough Marvel-adaptation Blade with a major storytelling gap.

Consuelo Reyes: Wanted: A Rethink!

Considering that even high-profile cancer victims who can afford the best health care in the world still succumb to the disease, one could be forgiven for asking: isn't there another, better way?

Laura Ziskin: Remembering Patrick Swayze and a Campaign to End Cancer

Last year Patrick Swayze defiantly posed the questions, "Will you stand with me? Will you stand up to cancer?" His words that day are ringing in my ears now.

Damn! Pat was getting it in with his two steps. Blue-Ribbon should use this and flash forward to today with an up and coming actor dancing to todays music.
