10 Weirdly Pretentious Adverts That Make No Damn Sense

2. Fancy Feast €“ The Perfect Gift Series

http://youtu.be/VednEJhS1Og Talk about a series of useless commercials and you're bound to hit Fancy Feast. Their idea was sweet, but all in all, I wanted to hang myself whenever these stupid commercials interrupted my episode of Castle. Maybe it was the couples' happiness that made me violently bite things or maybe it was the fact that I wanted a cat, but my father was allergic to them. I can't be entirely sure, but Fancy Feast is notorious for overproducing their commercials and this one cannot possibly escape that reputation. Another one that waits until the last second to show their product, which, honestly, could have been any cat food and it still wouldn't have made any sense, Fancy Feast tried to pull the heartstrings of bored, sappy television audiences by creating a story that would continue on in their next syndicated commercial. Now everyone wanted to know what was next for the baby kitten and its owners, a couple with seemingly no problems and only the standard hopes and dreams €“ get married, get pregnant, raise your children. I'd like to see the last commercial encompass the reality of life - you come home from the office to find your child covered in make-up, your wife crying on the phone to her sister about how lonely she feels in this tiny house you bought for your family, and when you muster up the courage to leave the room for some alone time, your damn cat won't get off your laptop. New angle for Fancy Feast, indeed. I think what kills me the most about Fancy Feast commercials is that, no matter which way they swing it, this food isn't that fancy. In fact, the same people that feed their perfect little purr-balls fancy feast are the same people I see walking around Target in Pink sweatpants, stained wifebeaters, and flip flops in the middle of November. Nothing fancy about that.
