As I said on Twitter, I was so distracted by the screaming clown (laughing to the point of tears in my eyes) that I didn't even notice what they were selling. It was too distracting. This would have...

First time I saw it, I sat, stunned, with dropped jaw. Certainly has stopping power that most ads lack. I turned to my wife and said, "did you see that?" She hadn't. I rewound the TiVo and we watched...

I laughed my ass off for at least ten minutes after seeing this one, went back and watched it again. It was HYSTERICAL. Without watching it again, I think the point of the ad is that they saved enough...

It's kind of horrifying, not to mention ear-splitting, and will cause lots of terrified parents to run in to many a living-room or den to determine which of their teens or guests was just impaled by a...

Yeah, I'm sure the sales pitch to the brand was "clowns-are-creepy, and the hipster hyperhumor will rub off on you" but the horrifying images/sounds don't strike me as all that likely to increase WM's...

Thought it was funny. My husband cracks up every time he sees it. He thinks it is great!

I personally enjoy commercials like that. But like @Cecily said on Twitter - I'm weird. :)

Thanks for your thoughts, Sandy. Interesting division of opinion on this. Many, like you and your husband really think it's hilarious, others are appalled. I'm not surprised by that division 'cause...

After laughing at it the first time (the silver unicorn stuck in my head as an emblem of my childhood) I didn't want to see it again and left the room when it came back on again. I am not a fan of...

Creepy clown commercials seem to be a trend recently. Have you seen this one from USPS? http://64.15.120.233/watch?v=oKGKB5bc9DU

@Esther, LOL, you edgy grrls love the rad! @Kristin, love how you got beyond the imagery to the underlying consumption message! @Heidi, no, I hadn't seen that! Holy smokes. OK, I'm calling that a trend!

@bullmeister, well, we know you're an edgy grrl! I certainly get the skateboarder humor of the ad, but it just seems so weird for the brand. And, in the context of all this "green" stuff they're...

Wallmart appears to be going through a re-branding phase, looking to appeal more to dads. Every time I see this ad I crack up just like with the Burger King "I like Square Butts" spot. The important...

I think your insight about WM's re-branding to appeal to dads is right on. And, of course, the question definitely is: will it drive sales? I'm skeptical...but, we'll see. Thanks for dropping by.

Call me an edgy grrl, but I thought it was funny too. =) Maybe not exactly on target with the brand, but I've seen much worse. For humor, though, it was pretty good!
