[This one.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgOaT4xzdvo)

**Please watch the video and reply first** and then read what I think under the spoiler.

[spoiler]Now see, I don’t (find it scary or creepy or anything like that). I find it more annoying than scary, but I’ve had a few people tell me that some people just aren’t affected by it and that–by and large–most people find it creepy/disturbing/scary.

Me, I watch it and go “What’s the big deal?”…but some written reactions I’ve seen make it seem like apparently this is one of the most creepy and disturbing videos on the face of the earth.

Am I missing something?[/spoiler]  
Does it freak/creep you out?

And I’m putting this in CS since it’s about a video, but if the mods think it fits better in MPSIMS, feel free to move.

Just a waste of 15 sec. I didn’t watch it all the way through.

I didn’t watch it all the way through either. Found it creepy but not scary. And also annoying (mostly the sound).

For the first couple of seconds, I thought maybe this will be good and creepy, but it got boring really quickly.

Weird. And stupid. And repetitive - I think it’s the same video played twice in a row, judging by the pitch of the weird screaming.

I found it annoying.

Looking at the comments for the clip, I see

+1

Also blasphemous, as the first half of _Full Metal Jacket_ is awesome sauce which should not be treated this way.

Mildly creepy, but only for a few seconds. Way too long and looping it a second time was completely moronic.

I have no sound where I am but the visuals are weird as hell and as I have posted [before](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=603422) creepy smiles freak me out.

Hmmm, yeah. Annoying. Moronic. Stupid. Lot’s of similar adjectives.

ETA: Left me wondering why someone would make that. And then wondering why someone would send me to watch it. Oh, yeah, “pointless” is another good adjective. Seriously, why do you want us to watch that?

I was gonna say “really creepy,” then I realized it was only the commercial with Kenny G.

It opened with a Snickers ad featuring Kenny G or something. That was creepy.

The video itself? I watched to the end hoping for a pay-off. No such luck. Pointless and trying too hard to be weird.
