God, if they use this same technology in the next presidential race, those will be some awesome/terrifying fucking commercials. (That was honestly the first thing I thought after viewing this ad)
I'll be worried when they finally go so far as to exhume the corpse of a celebrity to use for TV commercials, animating it like a puppet a la "Weekend at Bernie's".
Picturing Orville at my window, instead of THE KING , trying to serve me some tasty hot zombie buttered popcorn
Orville Reddenbacher is definately CGI and horrifying. Ernest looks and sounds more like Bill Clinton...especially after drawing the naked woman on the screen. Ernest was more tasteful, being a cartoon caricature. The Reddenbacher ad was frightening and bizarre and sounded nothing like him.
I'd like to see Orville Redenbacher and Dave Thomas take on Mr. Six (former Six Flags mascot) and Tom Carvel in a bar fight.
Yeah, thanks a lot man. I was ignoring this thread until I saw the new av in the Oscar thread and figured it had something to do with the Zombie Reddenbacher thread. So I came in here, watched the video..and will now be sleeping with the lights on. That's just...yeesh.
That's a little more than a bit creepy. Are we back to the cycle of having dead celebs push products?
So ... was that six flags guy actually alive in those ads from a couple years ago? Y'know, the ones where hes dancing like crazy? Maybe my fear of a commercial featuring a corpse puppet has already come true?
