Worst Commercial Ever? (trigger warning)

[atomiccounty]

Wut? That is so bizarre.

[ceebug]

Weird and disturbing. UKuleles and drugs don't mix.

That ear worm is going to be stuck in my head all day.

What was in the bag? Did it just let her know he was home? I was expecting her to open it and show us what was in it or something.

Yes. Thank you.

A dear friend of mine had a brother that OD'd in November. The family found this commercial to be a trigger and very upsetting. Watching a mother react to finding her dead son to disturbingly light music was not entertainment.

I have heard expressions of praise for the video. The praise coming from the viewpoint of OD's can happen to anyone and drug addicts are not always in a sad state and that's where this music came in to play.

Honestly, I don't know what to think. It just made me sad for the man we lost. I feel it wasn't Superbowl appropriate (what happened to funny?), along with that disturbing Nationwide commercial about the dead child.

Wow. What the fuck?

[lia1303]

keen that nationwide one shocked me. Besides just overall depressing, all I could think of was poor families who had experienced a loss like that getting blindsided by it. How gut wrenching that must be.

[scarlettpanda]

What the actual fuck. That was horrible.

[colliebabe]

That was bizarre.

I thought this was going to be about the Nationwide commercial. What the heck was up with all the sad commercials last night?

I'm not saying we should be ignorant of all these things, but time and fucking place, amiright?

Without that very poor choice of music, it would be a powerful commercial. Aired like this, though, it gets a big WTF.

[becwheat]

Umm wow.

[spw123]

Um...what the hell was that. Just no to the music and no to during the Superbowl.

This! That music was just so weird!

[vandelay]

That Nationwide commercial was the fucking worst. I can't believe that at some point there was a roomful of Nationwide executives who thought that was a good idea.

[viola]

That was really disturbing.
