Announcer: This Lady GaGa porcelain creation is offered for a limited time, so order today or you could find yourself without pants.

There's not really anything specifically related to Lady GaGa about these pants is there (I don't think -- I am not so aware of Miss Lady GaGa). At the moment she's interchangeable in this with anybody remotely famous (Zak Ephron, Katie Perry, Bolt). Maybe that needs focussing on, rather than just a load of 'pants' jokes?

'With a shelf life of two weeks before disappearing completely and never being seen again', 'The ideal replacement for KT Tunstall, now no-one remembers who she is' -- things like that?

This did just seem like an excuse for a lot of jokes about pants so I was a bit unclear on topicality although I seem to remember seeing ladygaga in pants on some awards show.

I can't say I really connected with this.

Replicated the tone of the adverts very nicely, but the fact porcelain pants isn't related to Lady GaGa (or is it? I don't know much about her) means for me it doesn't make much sense. Think you need to parody something more obvious.

Ah, I just Googled this and see what you mean about Lady GaGa pants. But hadn't heard of it and maybe fitting it with the porcelain advert mould didn't fit in my mind

This is less a joke about Lady GaGa and pants to me, and more a joke about those overpriced collectibles, that show up on TV during the wee small hours. I tried to think of the tackiest thing to sell. Porcelain pants it was.
