Worst Commercial Ever Part 2

More surprising than the video seen in Part 1 of this post (read below) was the next video in the search results. It was the hilarious Skittles 'Touch' commercial from last year's wacky campaign done by TBWA/Chiat/Day. The ad features a man with the 'Skittles Touch;' whatever he touches turns to Skittles. That's not even the funny part. What really makes this spot hilarious is when the man dramatically tells a young co-worker the trials and tribulations of life with the 'Skittles Touch'. Then accidentally turns his phone and desk into millions of Skittles. Weird and wonderful, right? So I figured whoever posted the video as the worst ever must have meant it ironically. How wrong I was. Check out the video on YouTube and take a look at some of the comments people have left. Here's one gem: "Wait a minute if he got on the bus how did he pay? With skittles?" People like this are why the term "focus group" strikes fear into the hearts of creatives all over the world. Read the drivel here.
