*NSFW*epic skittles commercial

Didn't answer the question, but that's OK.

I thought the whole "shock" campaign was funny, right up to this point. Give a guerrilla marketing job + budget to a 16-year-old male and this would be his "idea."

[edit]
Olds' Law is still in full effect here.

[edit2]
These guys have balls for using the actual Skittles name / package without an obvious disclaimer ("not affiliated with...").

Of course, it's possible that Skittles did pay some guerrilla marketers to do this and stay somewhat disassociated. The cheaper-looking effects might be intentional.

It's just god-awful. Stupid. Un-funny.

...unless you're of the Beavis & Butthead mindset.

(The fictional characters, I mean. Mike Judge's humor in Beavis & Butthead is MUCH more sophisticated because it's a SATIRE of mindless adolescents.)

200k views in 2 days and 6k likes.... doesn't look like most people agree with you, who let you decide what is "god-awful" "stupid" and "Un-funny". It might be to you, but most people it seems dont agree.

You know you sound like a douche right?

I didn't think the commercial was that funny, but it got a chuckle. More than most do. As for the destruction of american society, your too late on that one bub. You ever watch the jersey shore? Or real house wives? Or any of the other million atrocities on American tv? Your brain will melt out your ears as you watch them.

that wasn't the real or serious question... that was you being a douche because you thought i found something funny that you didn't.

the only funny thing about that fake commercial was the "thunk!" sound effect before he pollocked her.

Well. Maybe I should pretend it's funny, then.

I have a low opinion of those who think it's funny. If dumb-asses think that's douche-ey, I really don't care.

I was seriously probing to find out why people aren't ashamed to say they think it's funny. I didn't want to research your age to find out if that's an explanation, so I simply asked.

The everyone is a dumb-ass but me thing seems pretty douche-ey to me. Not to mention you dont seem to understand that people have different sense of humor. But obviously YOURS is the best and everyone else's is sub-par...right? 🙄

you already know i'm an adult. stop being stupid.

furthermore, as i explained, i didn't think it was funny. i just couldn't believe it was a real commercial. you never laugh at things you can't believe you just saw?
