"I'm an angry gumball..."

[twickster]

What a bizarre commercial! There's a rapping gumball doing a bouncing sing-along thing, ending outside the corner shop where the action begins and a wish that a pigeon will poop on both the Extra gum-chewers in the classic convertible.

"I'm an angry gumball..."

What struck me as so weird about this commercial is that is was preluded by about a week of commercials just showing the gumball and saying "Find out why I'm angry..." or something to that affect.

I can't really put my finger on it either but this commercial is definitely bizarre.

Terrible Flash animation of said gumball is on the Wrigley's Extra Web site.

Just saw this advert tonight; tdc thought it had something to do with gumballs and nutrasweet (?), while I think it's the gum version of Eminem. YMMV

I love it! It's so cute, but I think instead of "I hope that pigeon nails both of you," he should say, "and fuck both of you." It would be much angrier, although less appropriate. YMMV

Well I guess you were kind of ready for this then, Cisco -- having been warned that there was a gumball on the warpath. This commercial was the first I'd heard about it, so you can imagine my astonishment.

i thought it was lame. i'm boycotting extra. (by boycotting i mean i don't buy it anyway)

[I can't believe that's butter!]

Usually I drowse through commercials.

This one caught my attention.

It is now one of my favorite commercials. It's bizarre in a clever way.
