This last week I focused on advertisements for candy. It seems to me that candy commercials have, of late, become more and more quirky, odd, and random. I don’t know if they’re trying to reach for a different, perhaps slightly older and more ironic market (maybe assuming that younger kids are going to eat candy regardless); or if they’re trying to create commercials that become a little more buzz-worthy and viral online. Either way, there has been some strange and creative ads coming out recently. Here are a few of them.

Skittles – Touch: A slightly tragic ad of a man who has the power to turn everything he touches to Skittles.

Starburst – Berries and Cream: Oh the “Little Lad Dance” – brilliant and odd. If you want to learn how to do it, click here.

Skittles – Long Beard: This one is so weird and slightly disturbing – and yet it still makes me laugh.

Skittles – Singing Rabbit: Another somewhat tragic story from Skittles. This time it’s about the wisdom in trading your Skittles for a singing rabbit.

Snickers – Get Some Nuts!: How can you go wrong with Mr. T in a tank barking lines like, “If I ever catch you actin’ like a crazy fool again, you’re gonna meet my friend Pain!”? You can’t.
