Creepy Commercials

[snyprrr]

1) Quiznos: the one where the oven (talking with HAL voice) prods the cook to "insert" the "torpedo."

2) Burger King: with the telephone book butts. This is kid's meal? Also, the "Burger King" is just creepy, in the style of...

3) Jack in the Box: their mascot is creepier than any horror movie. How does an existential nightmare help sell burgers?

I was recently linked this by Corey:

Sadly, this only scratches the surface of the pure evil lurking in Japan (and Korea)...

I agree the Jack in the Box man is creepy, but the Burger King King is the creepiest. He reminds me of a serial killer, but without the veneer of respectability.

Madison Avenue suits think "edginess" is in these days: do you recall the Burger King ad where the Soccer Mom tries to run the King down in her car?

The baby...grrrr.

My ALL TIME FAV has to be "Pearl Drops Tooth Polish." Does anyone remember "Pearl Drops Tooth Polish....aaahhhhhh"?

It probably doesn't meet the thread's criteria - I just personally tend to find overly happy/hyper things as being creepy in a highly psychotic way. Direct links:

      These commercials have restored my faith in humanity:

     The guy who does the voices is what makes it so good. That's what giant insects should sound like.

Ummm... erectile dysfunction commercials.

"Hey, mommy, is that what people use for their peepee?"

[Lethevich]

Those insect ones rock - now I know, insect voices sound like telephone perverts

HULU:

"An evil plot to destroy the world." is their tag line. Then they get celebrities (Denis Leary, Seth MacFarlane) to tell us we're so stupid we won't be able to help getting sucked into it.

See, there's no conspiracy when they tell you up front!

I didn't think it was that creepy. Mr.T's lines when he looked into the camera was weird, though. If it really does work that good, I wouldn't mind having one.
