We’ve all seen our fair share of commercials we don’t like. I’m thinking of annoying commercials like this one from Gillette or the Super Bowl Jesus commercial that shouldn’t bother me but it does. But every once in a while a commercial comes along that really eats at you. Nom nom nom goes this Liquid Death commercial where zombies have taken over and they’re literally eating friends and family. Take a look then scroll down for more info…
The ad turns into a throwback 80s-style infomercial, complete with a cheery jingle to go along with their morbid-adjacent product. As far as commercials go, this one stands out because of its absurdity. Just enough to make viewers ask, “What did I just watch?” In movies and on TV, the zombie craze has ended but this silly advertisement doesn’t come across as kicking a dead horse. It’s a light-hearted take on the zombie genre and that in itself is rare. Including Santa might –and by “might” I mean it definitely will– give children nightmares and forever change their childhood but there’s kind of a trend of making Santa into a vigilante killing machine anyway, so the people behind the ad thought one or both of these things:
1. Let’s take the risk of having a bloody Santa
2. We’re getting on the “Santa is a bad@ss” train now, choo choo!
