    I think these commercials are stupid.
    Not funny, just creepy.

  • Janice

    Not funny – but EXTREMELY annoying. Rates right up there with Pepsi’s “brown and bubbly” campaign from last year’s Superbowl.

  • bj

    DUDE
    I say DUDE
    creeps me out holy hell 6 in the morning and that freaks me out

  • Kimberly

    Ew. I hate these commercials. I don’t understand them, and they are totally creepy.

  • No Brand Woman

    I’m just more confused by this commercial than amused or creeped out. But it does make me chuckle.

  • Silvia

    Seriously scary concept. What ad agency thought this up?!

  • Melissa

    Can we say sponge monkeys?

  • sarah

    “Up the octave.” hahaha that was hilarious.

  • carmella

    To Little Lad…. get a life…

  • Ep Sato

    WHile watching the ad, a buddy of mine and I agreed that it’s a darned shame someone got paid a lot of money to think up the Berries and Cream guy. Annoying, but I’ve got this odd desire to eat those Orange and cream starburts…Darn you to heck berries and cream man!

  • Joslyn

    I hate these creepy ads. They make me want M&M’s.

  • Sara

    Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you said NEW commercials… Those have been out for what, a month now?

  • Freckles

    This guys creeps me out, has anyone noticed that his eyes have no color? They’re so light blue they look white.

  • Laddy

    I think it is hilarious, I cracked up the first time I saw it!

  • Stephanie Travitsky

    Ok. Berries and Cream sounds a bit perverted only because this is supposed to be an immature commercial.
    This is “pie in the face” funny, and I don’t really see the connection between the product and the commercial.
    to the ad company: stop smoking the trees and be more creative.

  • TsuKata

    That commercial totally reminds me of the “Peter Pan looking for Tinkerbell” personal ad website from long ago…I need to go look that guy up.

  • Eric

    The one and only funny Starburst commercial is the one that plays off of Lionel Richie’s “Hello” music video. I nearly died laughing at that one..

  • Marci

    Ugh…I hate these commercials

  • Alex

    Hrmmm, as far as bizarre fruit snack advertising goes, I prefer Skittles commercials.

  • JoeyJoJo

    I hope this actor makes a million dollars in residuals, because he’s never gonna get a date ever again.

  • dma69

    Worst. Commercial. Ever.
    Damn you, Berries & Cream man!!!

  • Stephanie

    I saw the singing bunny commercial and the only thing that was funny in a sadistic sense, was when the rabbit bit the poor shlub.

  • clare-clare

    not funny. scary and creepy? yes. i don’t have children, but i feel like i should hide them.

  • james

    Every company now is trying to create viral videos to sell their product… this one misses by a mile… it’s like a bunch of balding middle aged men got together and thought “what would the kids like to see on that there internet?”

  • EM

    as a both a consumer and a marketing professional, I’m stumped. The commercial with the 2 guys makes NO sense unless you’ve seen the first piece. The “little lad” is creepy and would make me not want to buy the product for fear that freak would jump out and do a little dance.
    Starburst needs to either rein back in the creative guys or find another agency. I am shocked this got approved.

  • roel

    yes stephanie! the skittles singing bunny commercial is hilarious!
    this one is just plain stupid and not funny at all. who green lights these things?

  • mike

    One of the most stupid and annoying commercials ever. And not in a good way at all.

  • matt

    perhaps i was watching a different commercial (or perhaps my taste is not as refined as folks who leave snarky comments on message boards)from the rest of you, but i enjoyed this very much. i also enjoyed the instructional video. far be it from me to suppose, but the rest of you strike me as a pack of joyless frumps. you have my pity.

  • Peter

    As somone thats makes commercials for a living, I’ve got to imagine the people behind these attrocities have been fired by now.

  • Peter

    Matt, we have plenty of joy. This crap just isn’t funny.
    I pity you and your god awful sense of humor. Go back to watching some Mind of Mencia re-runs or a Dane Cook show, and get off the message boards
