For God’s sake do not allow yourself to contemplate the ideas that Michelin rejected!
Vacuum cleaner commercial, concept is “perfect match for you”. Miniature people where the bag should be on an upright vacuum, obnoxious people, but when you find hte perfect match the mini person is a version of you. Very creepy, only saw it once, couldn’t find any links. Not sure of the brand, I was too busy staring at the humunculi.
I *knew *the OP would be about that Michelin commercial!
Creepiest commercial ever? That’s easy – Axe Deodorant Chocolate Man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3qYT60DSKQ
My kids and I always watch it like this: :eek:
Wow, the woodland critters writhing and screaming their warnings is really disturbing contrasted with the fairy-tale like narration. Even Andersen didn’t go that dark.
The first one of this compilation of car-crash PSAs ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmMNcOWhjWM) is fairly creepy -
after an accident, a number of spirit forms/souls leave the body of their victims, except for the one wearing a seatbelt. In his case, the soul appears to be struggling to leave.
The last one can be seen with original audio here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54TydSWjoYw
It’s more horrific than creepy. Easily the most terrifying PSA I’ve ever seen.
I give you: Shiny Suds.
The ones above are creepy, but this is disturbingly creepy.
I was going to open a thread like this a couple of weeks ago, but could not find a link to the commercial itself. It looks like someone has since posted it.
An apparently estranged father shows up at her daughters doorstep and takes her for a ride…to her favourite place. It seems as though she didn’t know she had a favourite place. Much awkwardness ensues as they sit down to a chicken dinner and he tries to relate to her as if she had not matured in the last 20 years…with good behaviour. shudder
Creepy, but in a good way - weird Dunlop ad
That is the cinema version. The TV version was slightly shorter: - here
No.
You people do not KNOW. (And I wish I could find a link.)
A Swedish commercial for stereo equipment. A tubby bearded dude is playing with his hamster, crooning to it, and feeding it a biscuit. He then gets up and cranks his stereo to what is apparently death metal (the TV was on mute at the bar), and the hamster is suddenly demonically possessed and begins physically destroying the tubby bearded dude - who suddenly wakes up from his nightmare.
I’ve seen creepy Michelin. I’ve seen creepy Swiss Chalet. They pale in trembling, abject comparison to Swedish Death Metal Cujo Hamster.
I must find a link. I hope I do, because you all must understand.
This? YouTube doesn’t work very well here so I have to ask; it’s the first result from video.google.com for hamster stereo commercial.
My favorite part is at the beginning when the lightning strikes and she quickly grabs hold of him because he’ll protect her from the lightning.
DAMN. YOU. You couldn’t have sent me a PM so we could share the credit, could you?! You had to go and PRE-EMPT me and get all the glory.
Yes, that’s the commercial. No idea why I couldn’t find it; perhaps “biscuit” was not the ideal search term. Now that I see it with sound, I think it’s even creepier… I mean, *that * song?! Whoever came up with this commercial is a sick, sick, twisted human being.
Actually, to me using that song
“Maneater” by Hall & Oates makes it funny. (Sick, but funny)
You know what I find creepy? Singing belly buttons.
I will click on pimple, spiders and other assorted nitemarish TMI threads, and even I wont click that link…
What about that creepy video with the Santa and the elf with the black eye and that creepy music in the background? Or was that not even an ad? What was that?
No idea but you just reminded me of Enzyte Bob in the Santa suit and all his female coworkers lining up to sit in his lap.
That’s some seriously creepy shit right there.
Thanks for the nightmares.
How about the next version of the ad where the young lady puts her mouth back and then says “this isn’t my gum”.
That’s interesting. I know people who get all teary-eyed watching that commercial. That you don’t know why he was gone for so long (was he in prison?) and he is trying to reconnect with his daughter taking her to the only place he knew she liked many years ago is supposed to be touching or something.
I dunno, I’m totally “meh” about that commercial myself.
Given the fact that she was waiting for him with her coat on at least implies it was a scheduled visit and he didn’t just “show up on her doorstep”, though.
