Mind Screw/Advertising


  • This commercial for Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper. We have a blue cartoon bear giving a Barry White-esque serenade to his girl bear. He then reaches over...and grabs some toilet paper. He proceeds to rub it all over him. Insert spiel about how awesome the toilet paper is. He then passes the toilet paper to the girl bear, who then proceeds to rub it all over him while they look at each other amorously. It's safe to assume that furry toilet paper fetish foreplay ensued.
  • Old Spice. "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like" series is bizarre, but still clear in the presentation of its thesis. "The Heart of a Champion," however, is sheer insanity.
    • Terry Crews' Odor Blocker ads have it both ways. Why they zoom in to show him chilling out in his own armpit makes sense, but it's hard to explain what the hell the talking tiger is doing.
  • The "Find Your Frappuccino" commercials from Starbucks.
  • One McDonald's commercial involves a girl riding a bicycle to the titular restaurant...and that's all you'll get, she rides through a bunch of surreal jungle landscapes picking up animals on her way to McDonald's while it's filmed in surreal claymation and moving so fast your brain will explode trying to figure out what the heck was going on there!
    • The screwiest thing about this commercial is that all of that happens in a span of less than 10 seconds. Before you can even register the first few seconds, the commercial's over already.
  • This Sprite ad. Apparently they're trying to do subliminal messaging...?
