They changed it to CGI last year & now it just cuts off really abruptly 4 seconds in

the alternate music is in a completely different key and the arrangement itself leaves much to be desired

It would have been better without the first four seconds. They either should have stuck with the nostalgia or just have made a 100% new commercial instead of a weird hybrid. It's just a weird failure otherwise.

It's in league with that Corona commercial that's been around for like a 100 years?

They keep changing the Budweiser commercials over the years.

Don't look like the ones from the 80's.

Oh did they? I didn't notice. I've seen the commercial, but I might not have noticed that extra detail. I thought it was interesting that it was in 16:9 resolution though.

uhh, I'm pretty sure that's why they typically put them in after baking the cookie instead of before
granted even then I don't really like them because the chocolate is hard and not evenly spread

I do. Considering advertising is something we're all exposed to en masse every day of our lives it's not exactly a stretch to say that basic quality standards should be set, and it's becoming more apparent now that shit like this & the switch to CGI last year is done so old ads people liked can slowly be wiped out of syndication so the forgettable new ads seems less awful by comparison & people grow complacent to it as a result.

The ad is a master class in trolling:

they changed a beloved ad (strike 1), they interrupted it (strike 2), they gave it a very abrupt, poorly made transition (strike 3), they chose the worst possible choice of musical clash (from relaxing Xmas bells to fucking loud trumpets (strike 4), they didnt even fade out or transition out the new part properly (strike 5) and then they added some shit cgi thing at the very end.

in the midst of all this trolling they made sure to make the dad and daughter black because they knew the racists would have a fit over it like they did with the Cheerios ad, with the objective of going like problem? U racist? Troll-face.jpg when any non-racist objects to the 5 legit points I listed above.

its almost like whoever authorized this ad or liked the idea behind it hates Hersheys kisses customers

I legit can't conceive of it having a non-antagonistic intent like even if they just kept the audio the same the public's reaction wouldn't be too bad (I still wouldn't be on board) but I've heard smoother transitions in fucking 2007 YouTube poops

the antagonistic stuff isnt too farfetched.

I saw a special about the news thundercats roar! Cartoon. Its creators despised the original thundercats and its fan base, for example, and they did an episode to antagonize them

Their ad is directed at the only people that still buy their shit. 60 year olds that were young when that commercial came out.

Completely nonsensical take. If you can complain on the internet about an edited ad, you can use the internet to pull up the original. Bitching that they changed an ad you will only see more than a few times unless you only sit on your ass all day is silly.

Nothing bad about it, it's just that people get inordinately mad about very minor things they had some attachment to, on the basis of those very minor things being attached to much bigger notions of nostalgic Christmas goodfeels.
