Commercials that creep you out - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Are there any commercials that, for some inexplicable reason, just creep you out?
I know for me those Burger King commercials with the guy who has that head that looks like it came off of a deck of cards, particularly the one where he is running down the football field, is just odd to me.
Another one is that Overstock.com Christmas commercial they have been showing recently where the spokeslady is walking down the street singing to the tune of Jingle Bells. I don't know why I find that one creepy. Maybe it is the weird music(it sounds kind of like the tune they kept singing on the movie Halloween 3 ..."8 more days til Halloween, halloween, halloween"... that one) combined with the almost otherwordly look of the spokeslady. Like she's not quite human or something.

I'm not talking about commercials you hate; I know there are plenty of those that we all hate; but rather the commercials that for some reason you can't really figure out, give you a weird "ooky" feeling inside.

another one is for that asthma awareness where the fish is in the fish bowl and they slowly suck the the water out of it, leaving the fish gasping for air....poor fish

Yeah, I remember that one. It's a wonder PETA didn't get all over them for that.

I dunno, but that's one case I think for once they should have

That Geico commerical with the bear in the river, and the salmon thing... some of those Geico commercials are funny, but that one just kinda leave you saying 'wtf?'

The Burger King, hands down.

If I walked over to my window in the morning and saw him standing RIGHT in front of my window like that when I pulled up the shade, it'd scare the living crap out of me.

And sorry, but...like HELL am I going to eat something off of a tray being offered to me by a FREAK with a plastic head standing outside of my window like some kind of a stalkerazzi!

Now we must know how Brad Pitt feels.

- The Lamisil commercial. CREEPY! They make my toes curl every time I see that commercial.

- A few years ago (circa 2002 or 2003), they had this commercial for Dryel that REALLY creeped me out...Remember? It was the one with two mannequins in it. There was a lady mannequin standing in the store window and she realizes she needs to dry-clean her clothes...then you see a man mannequin staring at her as she undresses. EWWWWWWWW!

I'm creeped out by that commercial with SEAL sitting on that Old White Lap and singing to her-LOL I be ready to vomit when I see that

The one where this girl's room is being filled with water and she ultimately drowns. It was an anti-drug commercial. They play this scary piano music and go "BANG"(it ssounded as if someone put their finger on the piano key and left it there for about three seconds) as her lifeless body floats past the screen at the end. Still creeps me out after all these years.....
