    The most bizarre commercials

    By FurudeRikaChama on Tue, 02/01/2011 - 8:55am |

    Commercials are probably the most annoying thing ever to come into existence. But, they're everywhere: the internet, magazines, TV. Nowadays, there's not a place you can't go to without seeing a commercial.

    Most commercials are quite forgettable. But, there are some that are just plain bizarre and disturbing. This is a list of the most bizarre commercials.

    This is a creepy commercial about an insane doll. Everyone in the commercial goes insane after hearing her laugh. I wonder if the maker of this doll is the Joker.

    Here is another disturbing ad: A cinnamon toast crunch square starts to lick itself, then eventually eats itself. Is that supposed to be funny to children? I find it morbid.

    Is it just me or does this Ronald Mcdonald seem very creepy?

    Let me know what you think of these bizarre commercials.

    Is it just me or does this Ronald Mcdonald seem very creepy?

    Yes, but not as creepy as the Burger King guy.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that…

    I am put in mind of my (totally foxy) cousin, whose expressions of (I maintain, feigned) horror at my frankly carnal suggestions, drew from me the riposte: "The Pope has made very helpful comments on that issue..."

    Given the fact that this was the first-ever McDonald's ad, I'm amazed McDonald's ever grew as big as it is.  You're right - the clown is creepy.  And the little dance he does at the end of the commercial kinda freaked me out.  Now I've got Stephen King's "It" on the brain...thanks.

    How about the gummy bear commercial?   Or the Herbon commercial?  Best Ronald McDonald ever was in this Oscar winning animated film, "Logorama"..

    Ronald McDonald looks like Will Farrell.  Something's not right.

    Creepy? Maybe that's because the first Ronald McDonald, the one in that commercial, went on to become more widely known as a weatherman wishing 100 year old people a Happy Smuckers Birthday.  (Yes, that IS Willard Scott.)

    You're right!  Willard Scott!  I see him, I hear him.  It's HIM!
