"It's a very bizarre TV commercial for a product like this," said Zombie. "Honestly, I was shocked when they called me to do it."
So, how long do you think this'll be allowed to run on TV?|||How long will it run?
First off, I find it a hilarious original commercial for such a generic brand name (kudos). As far as the horror aesthetic, it is nothing compared to what we regularly see in TV horror movie adverts.
A comment on YouTube from one poster that mentioned:
Quote:
The tiny pink shirt against the murderous guy is sure to garner some unintended "pedophilic rapist" overtones, so no, I don't think this would be appropriate.
I could see where rape/violence may be interpreted by some; pedophilia though, I think is looking far too much into nothing.
I for one, find the pink shirt sequence a humorous nod to the cliche female in distress so overdone in horror.|||Is it that bad? I thought it was pretty funny, TBH.|||Quote:

A comment on YouTube from one poster that mentioned:
Exactly the kind of idiotic response I was talking about. It's always morons like that poster that yell the loudest and spoil things for the rest of us.|||As funny and clever as I find it, some people get scared really easily. I think segments of their target market will find this unappealing. I'm not sure if it'll get pulled or not, but I think this is a case of creativity that misses the mark. Well-executed, but off-target.|||It's unusual, but it's no "Dog Breath". It's not even close to the tamest of horror movie ads of late either.
("Dog Breath" was a UK Wrigley's ad that got rightfully banned back in the early 2000s. I remember actually feeling physically sick every time I saw it)
