Ohter than Felecia giving me a raging semi- damn she’s hot. The attractive a-bit-past-her-prime chick is obviously pissed at Felecia for being prettier and younger and secretly wants to get it on with her, but what is her actual complaint- the blonde is using at least one machine on one side of the room and at least one dryer on the other- what’s her beef supposed to be?
You know, I’ve seen this commercial several times (full version here), but I can’t quite figure it out. The only guess I can make is that Felicia’s clothes are spread out all over the folding table, and maybe the other lady is bitching about that. <shrug>
I don’t know what’s going on exactly, but I do know that I have the same sweater that Felicia is wearing. It really surprised me the first time I saw it.
I think Felicia’s clothes were taken out of the dryer early so the lady could dry her own clothes.
What’s a little anti-social behavior between laudromat denizens as suggested by creepy corporate mascots?
What’s up with the cheetah giving the “more-than-friends” massage to the flight attendant on the airplane?
These things are as weird as the Burger King.
I seem to recall Felicia picking something up off the floor. (a bra?) When she places it on the folding table, she is chastised. She really needs a good spanking. Of course, I’ve learned that Cheetos and doing laundry are not a good mix.
What is more strange is how Chester Cheeto has changed from kiddie mascot to, well, satan. He now tempts us not to use Cheetos as their prime function, eating them, but rather as a instrument of wrath. There aren’t that many Cheetos in a bag, I’m not sure I want to use them for something other than crunchy cheesy snack.
The purpose of advertising is not to inform potential customers about the product – that is incidental – but to persuade potential customers to buy the product.
The ad can’t even begin to do that job until it grabs the potential customer’s attention.
In an era of ever-expanding multimedia stimulus saturation, that gets harder and harder to do every year. The admen respond by experimenting and trying new things. The result is bound to get weird.
Vandalism is Funny! Ha Ha!
With this and the other ads (I also remember one with a laptop), the “punishment” and its ensuing damage is so disproportionate to the “crime” (“they are annoying”), that I don’t find them humorous at all.
I’ve only caught a glimpse of the flight attendant but man she’s got an awesome rack! (lucky cat)
I don’t know what the advertiser’s intent is, but the effect of this campaign is to make me vow never to buy Cheetos again.
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced you’re right.
This was my thought on first viewing, as well.
Cheetos will make you a jerk!
You’re all missing the point. Cheetos are hallucinogenic and consuming them can cause you to see your spirit guide, who if you’re the average American Felicia type just so happens to be Chester Cheetah and who just happens to tell you to act like a douche bag.

So what’s with the weird guy apparently playing chess with the cartoon?
