It reminds me of that video set in the lab where all the monkeys have faces (have no idea the band or song), which always creeps me out a little. It's similar in (color) tone and the way they shrunk the guy's body to fit him on the dog (you'll notice his head is bigger). There's a companion to that commercial that has started showing, it has a woman in it, she's with a different animal though, can't remember, but the same digital sizing is going on with her.

Some of the other crunchy nut ads are funny though, the normal ones (per se), we've laughed out loud at a couple of them (couldn't for the life of me tell you which ones though but they aren't part of the series with the little man on the big dog).

you mean Basement Jax "Where's you head at" They've done that same thing with the Mueller "I've got life advert too" they superimposed heads on dancers bodies which I find kinda creepy too.

I like the one that it's the girl trying to get folks to taste the crunchy nut and then she snatches it away before they answer her.

"would you like to try  no you wouldn't like it ? okay that's fine"
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

Yeah, that's the one! Also in the same vein, I really do not like the Happy Days commercials, they just look weird. And that Gene Kelly one they mangled, what were they thinking??

Yeah, that's funny, her and that guy from the bank that takes the pencils back and delights in telling the customers that his bank doesn't do that, he is a crack up! Couldn't tell you what bank that's for, though. lol

Have you recognised her?
She is 'Carly' in EastEnders... the girl mechanic in the garage/Kevins daughter/Deano's sister.  ;D

I love the ad for the minivan ( I can't remember the make) with the 2 little boys who are dressed kind of like old men...they are in little members only jackets and talking about the new people in the neighborhood...they say "new house, new car somebody is doing well"...I think it is funny commercial.......

the one the drives me up a wall is the "Frosted Flake" commercial with that annoying kid who sings "they're gonna taste great...can even eat them with a pirate"...that one drives me crazy...heheh

I am really enjoying the Astra car ballet commercial. I know it's not real (doh, lol) but it looks really cool the way the cars are flying and twisting in the air so gracefully. LOL.

I find the one with the "Question of Sport" guy sneaking into the locker room where a pretendy Tierry  is taking a shower so he steals his kit but he stops takes a whiff of it then puts it on. That's just weird to me  :P

umm did they not research "I'm comin' up..." could be referring to??

The BT adverts that are like a series, where the woman and her 2 kids move in with the geeky younger blonde guy.   God i hate those.  That guy is vile.
