I mean they already established in the story that it isn't Halloween yet, and that dildo is wearing a cape as he makes fun of people.

Lol wtf was that?

Terrible ad. How does it promote eating Twix?

Also if people... heck CHILDREN are mean to other kids, they should be murdered?

And the writing directing was awful.

You can be woke and funny and promote a product at the same time. Look at this:

https://youtu.be/JJjfuwbUpEM

That twix thing is a mess

  1. It's just a Twitter ad. Not going to TV with it.
  2. She said, "He'll be back." She didn't murder him.
  3. See point 1.

I didn't find owt objectionable there. They say that the bully will (probably) survive, and most spooky kids' Halloween stories that have bullies in wind up with the bully getting a comeuppance.

It was a fun two minute Halloween short, I don't see why there'd be any upset over it.

There's nothing to be upset about. Anyone who takes anything posted on Twitter seriously is an idiot.

which is fine, but this is no different than any other children's halloween media. and that really is the target audience here. the focus is clearly on telling kids they can wear whatever they want. fixating on the "oh so it means we kill kids now!?!" is kinda dumb, since there are a lot of children's movies where witches or ghosts do things to kids. we don't see them die but it is implied, or at least assumed that they're "sent to another dimension" or something.

the commercial is spreading around, the Twix name is getting out there, and they got to get a good message out there as well...Seems like a win to me. Even with all the outrage people will still say "hmmm, I can go for a Twix right now, tho".

You should have lead with it being thinned-skinned, conservative, cry-babies being outraged. Then I could have known to not give a shit.

The fact that you needed clarification that it wasn't the libbies being outraged THIS one time is hilarious, but great job at displaying your impartial point-of-view as a volunteer moderator.

The funniest part about these ads will always be the sunglasses-with-ball cap avatar people on twitter/facebook who REEL at them. They love to play badass, "Iook at my gun and pickup truck!" but all it takes to turn them into quivering children is a stupid fucking candy ad. It's hilarious.
