Jell-O Comb Over Commercial
Jell-O Little Boy with Comb Over: funny or creepy?
Watch this and see for yourself.
Jell-O, CP+B released their newest 45 second commercial last week, which was innovative but left me with some mixed feelings.
At first glance, it’s about a father and son enjoying pudding, which leads into the son’s daydream having to live through his father’s kind of depressing life –with his dad’s terrible comb over and all. Yes, the comb over was funny on the kid at first, but it also looked quite creepy. Definitely reminded us of Pennywise from IT. It continues with the father explaining how the chocolaty taste of Jell-O pudding “makes up for it all”—which actually is sadder than it is funny. It ends with the kid giving his Jell- O pudding to his dad, saying that he needs it more than he does.
This type of storytelling is very unique and keeps the viewer captivated. It’s great to see how companies are finding new and exciting ways to capture the attention of their target audience.
Most of us are fond of these products but commercials like these help grab the attention of new customers!
Would you turn to a chocolaty pudding when life gets tough? We know that we’d definitely prefer that as a coping mechanism.
