Does anyone else find the new toaster strudel commercials creepy?

I love the product but I am not sure I want to fund creepiness.

If you haven't seen it, mom calls kid, creepy Swedish (maybe) kid breaks down door with the aid of flying strudels. Flying strudels also retrieve the kid mom was calling.....

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Oh crap! There are smiling french fries? I am concerned because I believe we are the target audience. :(

Googled, them, oh my!

Granted I don't see many commercials - we don't watch much live tv - we mostly watch DVDs.
I find MANY commercials creepy these days.
Does anyone remember the old Dr Pepper commercials?
The musical spectaculars "I'm a Pepper, You're a Pepper, etc, Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?".
Or the old McDonald's commercials 'You deserve a great today! So get up and get away - to McDonald's!".
They were cute, a little bit clever sometimes - they were choreographed - the jingles were something you could remember (forever).
They had some class!

I just saw the commercial. That's pretty creepy. In keeping with today's creepy, bazaar humor, if you ask me..but I am ever so much more than 20.

I haven't seen that commercial.
But have you seen the "smiley face french fries?"
My kids had that in a school lunch recently.
Some kids wouldn't eat it because they said it was creepy.
Too funny.

I have never ever tried a toaster strudel, but based up your own recommendation, I might just for fun now. And no, I still have not seen the commercial, which is probably banned here in Canada as we're just too politically nice and would gasp at flying strudels.

I find most commercials somewhat creepy, so this fits right in!

Smiling fries? No thanks. I'm not sure why the ad folks come up with the things they do... remember the 'green ketchup'? Like, I'm sorry, but what focus group did they stumble upon who thought that getting kids to eat more ketchup was THE answer-- and that GREEN was the color to make it happen? :/

I have not seen this commercial yet. As a parenting teacher...I do not want to see any kid break down a door...There is an underlying message of disrepect for property...

Sue H. is right !!!

I miss the good ole' days when a commercials were appropriate.

Soap, bra, perfume, underwear and movie preview commercials are "R"
rated in many cases.

Good for the MOMS who pre-tape and not expose their kids to today's commercials. It's much sexualized, etc... out there. And kids are soaking it all in !

I hate seeing commercials for either soap, bras or underwear. Some of them are "R" rated !

Basically, they're eating each other.....brings to mind "cannabilism".

Seriously?? It's just silly - who cares if he knocks down the door, it's a commercial.

What the he!!? Where are the political correctness people on this one? Why would Pillsbury make such an offensive, stereotypical commercial poking fun at the Germans?
