I'm not sure which idea is worse - the commercial (which was creeeeepy), or that anyone would decide to create this drink. Original Mountain Dew already has 54 mg of caffeine in it. So let's add some fruit juice and another 30+ mg of caffeine.

No fricking way. Let's break it down:
Puppy: cute but they grow up into dogs. Dogs are a big cost and expense.
Monkey: not really that cute, wild animal that throws its shite. Only zoos can really hold monkeys.
Baby: only cute to women, is the thing my selfish arse has avoided creating for 30 plus years. If I wanted one I would have one. Out.
Just a bad idea.

Can we also acknowledge that this abomination from the bowels of hell also speaks with the voice of a psychopathic accountant?

I wasn't creeped out until it licked that dudes face. Kickstart had a great commercial last year. this one missed the mark.

In the sense that it got people talking about it, yeah. But it's from the school of marketing/advertising that thinks all press is good. It was strange, creepy IMO. The concept makes me think it was developed by an art director who was tripping. Sure doesn't make me want to buy the product.

That's the whole point. Everybody is talking about how dumb it is and they don't even realize that they're the dumb one because they're talking about it and they got marketed hard as shite.
It's the same thing with Lady Gaga. When she first came she went right to the top because everybody was always talking about what a freak she was for the crazy things she wore. Now that she's established and and her name resonates she's been able to tone it WAY down (while still keeping it a little weird because that's her persona) and been able to focus on showing off her immense talent, as you saw last night with the National Anthem.

I can't quite agree. The point is to sell product. Is this creepy spot going to do that? Does it make you want to try the product? That's the point. I don't know the answer. If creepy and strange is the image they're going for, maybe it's a successful image spot. I'm not their target market though. It does nothing for me.
