Sock It To Me

Skittles has the weirdest commercials.  Their marketing team must smoke some fancy stuff, but I think it actually pays off! The commercials somehow gracefully straddle the funny fence; one side is disturbing (no college for tree boy!) and the other side is even more disturbing (the finger-esque beard man).  See 4/1/10 post to view both bizarre ads (http://adbits.blogspot.com/2010/04/one-last-post.html).  Skittles latest commercial isn't as gross as it is oddly hilarious.  Also, please don't be surprised when I show up to your Halloween party this year dressed as a tube sock.  Tubular costume dude!  Sorry, I'll put a sock in it.  Please, I know my lame puns can't possibly shock you anymore.  Frankly, I think they're [electro]cute!



Here's another weird one for ya.  You know who would love these commercials?  Roald Dahl.  Am I right?  I bet The Twits loved Skittles.


A side note about Skittles: I have purchased Skittles at almost every ice arena in the Midwest.  It was a must-have during my brother's hockey games.  But it wasn't always Skittles.  When he first began playing hockey it was the Charleston Chews.  Ohmy.  I suddenly have a pregnancy-like craving for a CC.  Do they still make those?!  Please advise!!

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY! Please! I love cracking my bloggy self up way too much to just abandon my very own ego-forum! Plus there are mucho commercials out there that need my commentary! Take this one for instance. It came on the other day while I was eating and I lost. my. appetite. That is a huge deal because I am never without appetite. I've never seen "Deliverance", but I imagine these characters would have fit in nicely (any "Deliverance" fans out there? Am I wrong?)


Here's another bizarre and disgusting Skittles commercial. (That made me laugh).


And that's the whole sKITtles and caboodle!
