I've been Dorito slapped.

DO AS I SAY...
Watch this here video. Then refer to the rest of this post.



That was one of the most, if not the most, awkward commercials of Super Bowl XLIV. I dig it; found it hilarious. In the gym, iron was pumped in sports goggles, sweatbands, high-waters and Chuck Taylors. Then a Dorito Samurai killed a guy via Dorito to the neck?

It may not have tickled your fancy, but I bet this one will...



These commercials both use the approach of uncomfortable humor. Back in the day (say...20 plus years ago), there would not have been any commercials like these.

Moral of the story: On a scale of 1-10, my like for Doritos is a mere 4. However, I found myself in a torn decision at the vending machine last night and little Jaylen and Tim, the Dorito Samurai, popped into my head. I could not help but remember the funny commercials I had seen them in. I hit C3, the Doritos dropped, and I had myself a snack. Job well done Doritos ad campaign.
