So, this just came on tv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc2TyL5VzgY&feature=related

Does anyone else think this is creepy beyond belief? If Snickers is trying to sell candy bars, they shouldn't make people afraid of going to the candy aisle.

Heh, I knew what commercial it would be before I clicked the link.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

A creepy plastic face witch is telling you to eat snickers.

I'm not sure I wanna buy a snickers anymore.

What's weird about this commercial (it was around last year too), is this is apparently two kids, one on top of the other, in a costume. But the kid on top seems to have a very adult voice (albeit speaking in a spooky fake female tone). That's just a little eerie.

Also the voice always makes me think of Brad Sherwood from Whose Line Is It Anyway when he uses his girly voice in "Let's Make a Date".

If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

I've seen that commercial. It's like a brutal parody of Latex Perfection. But that other, recent ad with the people making up a giant face is far, far worse.

I know that one. I didn't find it so much horrible or scary as just...

This is the only way I can describe how I feel about it:

LOLWUT

Seriously, people making up a giant face?!

If it helps any the giant face is made up of people but is also attached to a giant body made up of people.

So yes a very rememberable car commercial for all the wrong reasons.

I didn't even notice the kid's face popping out of the lady's waist in the commercial until everybody else pointed it out. Now the commercial is even creepier. It's like some kind of Ghost of Christmas Present thing, where he shows Scrooge the kids that represent want and ignorance hiding under his belt, except far more terrifying. I'm probably Tempting Fate here, but I can't seem to find this other face commercial everyone is talking about. Is it on youtube?

Not scary, just stupid. The mask is more of an Special Effects Failure than anything.

I saw this the other day. I was not only terrified, but also surprised, not to mention confused as to whether or not it was supposed to be scary.

Wonder if this was put together by the same ad agency that does the bizarre Skittles commercials (they're both Mars, Inc. products so my guess is yeah).

As a commercial do you think it was an effective ad? Will it increase or diminish your intake of Snickers candy bars?

I'm going to buy 300 pounds of Snickers just so I never have to see that thing.

[up][up][up] I honestly don't think this commercial will have any affect on my Snickers eating habits. Candy is one of those things where the main brands, such as Snickers or Skittles are already so well known that they don't really need advertising. Most people simply think, "hmm I could really go for a Snickers right now" or just pick up whatever their favorites are when they're in a checkout line. If this was a commercial for a new candy that just launched, it probably wouldn't sells them very effectively, but since Snickers have been around for a very long time, I don't think it will really effect sales.

TBH, Whenever that Snickers commercial was on, I wasn't in the room, so just going off the voice, it sounded like the creepy old guy from Family Guy. So it weirded me out, but for a different reason.

Actually, I think it would be even more horrifying if it was that guy in the commercial.
