As the director of explosive blockbusters like "Armageddon" and "Transformers," Michael Bay is no stranger to big booms.

Now, he's turning his attention to big... boobs.

That's right, ladies. Bay has directed a new holiday ad for -- hold on to your boy shorts -- Victoria's Secret.

Don't look so surprised. This is the man, after all, who brought us Megan Fox washing a car. And it's not Bay's first time working with the lingerie brand.

But in his latest ad, which premiered during last week's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the filmmaker has really unleashed his Bays-ian tendencies.

Here's the breakdown.

Exhibit A: The throbbing rock soundtrack.

Exhibit B: Victoria's Secret models like Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio crawling on pool tables, flinging knives at each other in a circus setting and strutting slow motion in their undies.

Exhibit C: Hovering helicopters. Just go with it.

Exhibit D: Explosive fire ball. (Because these panties are so hot, hot, hot?)

Throw in the tagline "This Christmas... One Gift... A Thousand Fantasies," and you've got a commercial that is sure to make all those horny boyfriends run out to the mall with their credit cards blazing. Case closed.

What, you didn't think those pyrotechnics were for our benefit, did you girls?

But, hey -- if it means a sexy new bra in our stocking this year, well, pass the popcorn.
