SUPER BOWL BLIPVERTS 2014 - BUTTERFINGERS


It's time to pay the bills.....

I don't know how I managed to miss this while watching the Super Bowl.  Oh, wait.  There was that extended bathroom break after eating the Chinese food....

Moving on......







This is not another example of living food; rather, it's an example of the personification of the spirit to be found in an inanimate object.  (Like the long-haired bully who's really a cigarette.)


In this case, we see it's mostly about chocolate and peanut butter getting into a threesome with the skeevy Mr. Butterfingers. (He looks as though his name should have been "Buttered Fingers".)

Technically they should have included the corn flakes to make the three-way.  And finally they're all blended together to create Mr. Butterfinger.  But that's just my O'Bservation.....

If the makers of Butterfingers really wanted to make something that would have caused controversy, they should have made Chocolate black.  (Look at the outcry that was raised when Cheerios showed that sweet, blended family in their ads....)

Then again, the actress playing Chocolate is the best thing in these blipverts.

In the teaser commercial, we see other personified spirits - for Fish, Chips, Cheese, Crackers, Oatmeal, and Raisins.  

I'm glad I can't eat candy anymore.  Because this would have put me right off.....

[My thanks to Thom Holbrook for letting me know about the existence of these blipverts!  Thom's fabulous website about TV Crossovers, "Crossovers & Spin-Offs" can be found at the top of the blogroll to the left.]

BCnU!
