Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Oh advertisers, you so crazy! A new commercial for Pringles has appeared that is both awesome and ludicrous at the very same time. It seems to be a rather impressive homage to survival horror games at first, with a surprisingly authentic Silent Hill atmosphere and a Resident Evil style HUD.

Then Lara Croft appears and starts getting sexy.

Apparently, this is what Pringles does now. It makes young ladies appear and start taking their cosplay clothes off in dark and sleazy rooms ... I must remember to pick some up the next time I go grocery shopping.

I actually got embarrassed while watching that. I'm sitting in front of my computer, and I'm shamed. Good job, Pringles?

That commercial made no sense! Why was there a rubic's cube in her shirt? Also they should have done a joke with with combining herbs to make pringles. That would have been cute.

Was that a chicken fillet (bra-padder) that fell to the ground after the Rubik's Cube?
Come to think of it, was she using the Cube in lieu of the other fillet?

They got Silent Hill down to a tee though. Damn locked doors!

so... that's a good way to sell a product, mixing food, videogames and women, the 3 things men enjoy the most.

I guess the whole "buy our product and women will take their clothes off" trope isn't relegated to beer and male grooming product commercials anymore.

So if I eat Pringles in an abandoned building while running from baddies, some random girl will suddenly decide she wants to have sex with me. Oh and what about the people that guy was running from, do they stop chasing him to give him time to get some.

This doesn't even make sense. It was a good commercial up until the lady started dropping random shit. At least get your game mockups correct, don't make BS up.

I think you're missing the fact that the rubik's cube was unsolved, whatever fantastical magic spot she managed to hide it did not have the physical dexterity and intelligence to solve the puzzle, for shame!
Casanovay's Avatar - Comment posted on 11/18/2009 12:35

@KingSigy

The way I interpreted it was that all those 'random' things she dropped were part of the Lara Croft personality. She's some sort of rich archeologist tomb raiding puzzle solver right? Tennis racquet for rich british persons sport, tape measure, duster and rubix cube for archeology and puzzle solving? etc.

I really liked the ad personally. There are much more annoying and pointless ads to get annoyed over :)

As Jaffacakelover said, what was that jelly like silicone looking thing that dropped after the rubix cube? Are they saying that Lara has fake breast!? They've gone to far!
