New Kodak Commercial More Like 'Poltergeist' Than Presumably Intended
What exactly is going on in that new Kodak Gallery commercial? A creepy piano tinkles as a little girl and a grandma shout to each other across the span of an absurdly large couch. Little girl says something stupid, grandma laughs at her stupidity. But the mood darkens when little girl asks grandma, "Were you ever in love?" Grandma answers with a cryptic, "Well…" The music intensifies, takes on an almost maniacal quality. Then the little girl says something about magic sea horses, grandma seems confused and, wait a minute-that couch is definitely getting smaller! Is this like an Alice In Wonderland thing? Or they're trying to convey the horror of senile dementia? Or, wait, is the grandma supposed to be a ghost? Are they both ghosts? Is this a commercial about the victims of some grisly, long-ago mass-murder coming back to haunt the living?
The photo book is bringing them closer togetherrrrrrrrrrr.
She wants to marry a grizzly bear (a Kodiak??) and has the pictures to prove it, so Nana moves down to have a look-see until she's hovering right overhead and oh lord it's so much worse in my version.
Kodak, you've stolen my soul. Don't spend it all in one place.
One does wonder what the next scene is.
They melt together to become one hot looking, bear humping hottie in her 30's.
"Bring your dead ancestors back from the grave, with Kodak!"
Ha ha, Grandma's "well" can be interpreted either as "No, my life has been a barren, empty emotional wasteland" or "Your grandpa and I got so freak nasty all the time that I can't even look at you while I ruminate on the subject," either of which are pretty funny.
Also, "He's a bear. We're going to get married soon!" RICK SANTORUM TRIED TO WARN US.
Cool couch
Yeah it would be awesome.
Make it shrink really slowly, so your date doesn't notice.
But the ad is all around creepy.
The old lady and the girl have zero chemistry.
