I’m English, blah blah blah

There’s something about the animated Red Bull ads that just rub me the wrong way. They harken back to a dark period of time when radio ads were ten times as annoying as they are at present day. Non-stop yammering in a commercial is bad enough without tweaking it out with super-charged British banter. I have good cause to believe if you had three or four red bulls and sat through five or six of these commercials there’d be all manner of blood vessels bursting in your brain. Drink up and enjoy the video!

We have a strict dress code here, Beardo

Here’s a spot that is both disturbing and thoughtful. In it a young Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread with his beard to feed his starving family. Now he’s confronted with the woman who tried to arrest him, and he’s omitted the technical felony on his job application. Since the tragic result of this story is so obvious we don’t even need to see the conclusion to know it ends poorly for our doomed hero.

Or maybe I just made that up based on what I read from the Cliff Notes. Skittles has a lot of bizarre commercials, and this is just one of many.
