10 Most Bizarre Commercials Ever
4. Mio - Zoo Animals
While the Cadbury’s gorilla at least has some personality, this one just feels weird for the sake of weird. Two girls are at a bar discussing a mutual friend’s nose job surgery, which provides a nice segue into discussing Mio. It’s squash you can add to water (so, regular squash...), and just like the nose job getting friend, things are better when you customise them.
That’s bizarre enough already, but it only gets weirder. Because the two girls are actually a goose and a giraffe, and the mutual friend is a rhino. Seeing a rhino with a comically enhanced horn is certainly better than them just gawking at a random woman with plastic surgery, but still. It’s needlessly strange when their product is squash in a capsule.
There’s a decent animal pun with a croc, but all in all they waste their premise. The only other attempt is a painful misfire, as a camel walks past with a boob job and grabs everyone’s attention. Except the boobs are where her hump would be and she just looks like she’s got a set of DD tumors.
