    Default Cadbury Eyebrows

    I just saw an ad by cadbury and a parody of it.

    This is the original ad

    and this is the parody

    I do believe that they both speak for themselves.

    I see that advert almost every day, it gets old fast. As for the parody, I couldn't watch it as I noted very quickly that it involved Lilly Allen...and that's a big no-no right from the off.

    I saw it and was afraid. I'm kind of glad I'm in the US and am not subject to that every day.
    Oh, you. You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptible, aren't you? Huh? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever. - Joker

    I find the original both disturbing and amusing.
    In my opinion the parody isn't funny until Justin Lee Collins starts drumming in the gorilla suit.
    Just my two cents.

    I can't decide whether it's a great ad because it sticks in your brain whether you want it to or not, or a terrible ad because nothing about the actual content of the ad itself makes you think of chocolate.

    At least that does involve the product, as messed up as it is.

    That PS3 ad actually managed to make me say "What the F---!?".
    I found myself laughing at the original, but the parody was just terrible, until they started referencing the gorilla one, then I started laughing a little.
