Creepy Orville Redenbacher Commercial

[Jord141]

i seem to remember a comment on here where a guy called him Orville Deadenbacher. it was so funny, never cracked up harder reading a comment.

[kiya46107]

I'm confused how this is creepy... Meh fridge logic will hit later

[rich02468]

Oh god the claw hand!

[dylanthelinguist]

Why did they think this was a good idea?

[SESdisciple]

0:27 The creepy bounce adds to the disturbing factor.

[awelcruiz]

I...can't unsee this.

[SammEater]

It would be "better" if they actually made this ad with a look-a-like guy instead of a crap CGI effect, damn.

[picark]

what is eighty years old and has his dick caught in a popcorn machine?

Orville Reddencocker

[nopushbutton]

It doesn't even look like him. Why didn't they just get an actor to play him?

[yourworstnightmare51]

Is it bad that I actually kinda wanna eat some popcorn now?

[KnoxCarbon]

Ah! Uncanny Valley!!!!

[Miikoong904]

Thats NOTHING like Orville Redbacher.

[moldyorangejuice]

Eww that is so unappetizing. Who wants to associate food with a dead guy?!

[FarmerDoom]

That is so annoying looking I want it to be real so I can kill it.

[grandpamoe1]

Only an unholy demon can grab a freshly popped popcorn bag like that without getting burnt!

[conjurer77]

@grandpamoe1 hahahahaha!!!!!!!! nice...very nice.

[FrownyMascot]

HOLY SHIT

[theotherguy245689]

he didnt look fake to me until 0:14

[Wincow]

jesus FUCK. Kill it with fire.

[FIBackRoom]

Uncanny valley a Bit??

[SammEater]

@FIBackRoom

A bit? Its not even Uncanny valley anymore, its a Uncanny Canyon. :P

[ydoomenaud]

The scary part is that my mother in law is a perfect ringer for Orville if they just loop the dialogue (her voice is too LOW to be Orville's).

Also: /watch?v=G4eR-uZTJZ8

[89Sunbird]

Good God. It's like they shoved Mr Ed's face into a rubber mask..

[tev804]

thats fucking terrifying

[GoldenCenturion]

Hello, I'm Orville Redenbacher, and I have come to drag all of your souls with me to eternal damnation.

[Twigmund]

*Whimper*

[wcrminisodes]

probably should've just used the Cryptkeeper

[MaxSteele9]

This is the beginning of the zombie apocalyspe

[TheLostRealist513]

mine holds 160 Gigs :)

[thecoloradanempire]

I'm not sure if that's impressive, or disgustingly disrespectful.

[MoonlitUmbreon]

This isn't creepy.

[Miztress2Metal]

There is nothing creepy , scarey or even out of the norm here... Its a popcorn commercial, Reddinbacher did hundreds...please show me the dreepy thing in this commercial because I have watched it more than once, remember it from more recent TV and just can't find the "creepy"...

[EnDZYm3]

@Miztress2Metal

He's dead..................that's what's creepy. That bastard is dead, and they reanimated his fucking corpse right before our very eyes.

WHAT PART OF POSTHUMOUS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND :(

[AbstractLife13]

The employees gather around and enjoy a snack as they prepare to kill the undead monstrosity jammin' out in the break room.

[Yazjohn31]

Aint he's dead?

[litherabbit]

whatwerethey[]thinking?

[gangsterfromheaven]

i dont want to buy popcorn from a creepy dead guy

[sp00kynek0]

i dont see the CGI or see how this is scary :p

[WildCard207]

The reaction from the rest of the employees is downright bizarre. It seems to jump almost instantaneously from mild surprise to boredom, as if to say, "Crap, that annoying ghost is back. And he's talking to nobody again."

[pegasusreviews]

Quick somebody call the ghostbusters

[germyw]

Umm..? Did anyone inform you that you were DEAD?

[SamhainTheDark]

Your name ISN'T Orville Redenbacher. Am I the only one who sees a little CGI in this commercial?

[tysonic777]

Love the dude's face at 0:04. "Orville Redenbacher? But I thought he d.....No! No! NOOOOOO!!!!!!" (Crunching sounds followed by arch of blood sprays across expresso machine)

[SSCC2015]

He says "or my name isint Orville Redenbacher".I guess tahts not his name cuz when i gopt that pop corn i puked it lol,honestly was bad,wasent even salty

[kranktank]

@SSCC2015 are you sure you didn't get kettle corn instead...?

[SSCC2015]

@kranktank No,it tasted bad lol

[Choalith]

I think they did an amazing job... of making the deceased look like he had been reanimated. The stiffness of motion, lightly incoherent mouth movement, the dull eyes and twitchy brows. Zombie Marketing at its most glitz.

[awelcruiz]

If they had done this in traditional 2-D animation, ala those KFC commercials with Randy Quaid as Colonel Sanders, it would have been a thousand times better.

[c130ace]

I know its controversial, but I'm against bringing dead people back to life as zombies

[Killer0fTheSun]

Fuckin fraud

[Inferno1812]

Didn't quite bridge the uncanny valley.

[tuxedobob2]

Couldn't they just have put Dana Carvey in a lot of makeup?

[BakuraSR45]

lol mp3s in my opinion got heavier and hold less. i remember getting my aunt an ipod with 62 gb for $150 and it was lighter than my ipod touch with 8 gb

[TheElleLyn]

@BakuraSR45 Your ipod touch does a lot more than hold music, dipshit.

[BakuraSR45]

@TheElleLyn i know that dumbass. i meant that top brand ipods dont hold as many songs as they used to. i dont get why they even call the ipod touchs ipods. they're like game systems

[EP1KCAMPER]

or my name isnt Orvillehellandbacker.

[TheBigNegus]

I was expecting those people to at least say it with him at 0:26

[KanaraMac]

That's REALLY creepy.

[LoafOfPint]

The CGI in Death of a President was far more convincing than this, although that's not saying much as I'd argue the CGI in Baby Geniuses was better than this as well.

[Expert0nTheSubj3cT]

my name is orville redenbacher

[5xfunny]

look how he grabs the bag from the microwave haha

[SSCC2015]

@5xfunny Lol if i do that ill problaly burn my hand

[moonsaves]

Orville Redendreadnought.

EVEN IN DEATH, I SERVE

[TheSevenCamels]

@moonsaves you are a genius

[Superwolf1337]

Keep pressing one to see the guy jack off and/or hump a table. Press 8 to see Orville get boned from behind while humping a table.

[franciscojavierm]

I wasn't planning to sleep any time soon

[PisssssedOn]

lolnotcreepy

[theunraveler]

or my name isn't Orville Deadandbackhere

[awarmpoptart]

so apparently they took pictures of his corpse to use in the cgi..

[printz150]

I must say it's pretty well made, as I couldn't tell he's dead if I didn't know he actually died or who Orville is.

[daydarkbutterfly]

He died in my air conditioner.

[EP1KCAMPER]

@daydarkbutterfly O_O

[daydarkbutterfly]

terrifying

[DecepticonMecha]

Uncanny Valley? Is that you?

[Anon371]

inb4 Billy Mays

[Bowarcher]

more like orville deadenbacher

[arashinight]

Dammit, Cracked. I was half-expecting a zombie Billy Mayes.

[chicagodaddy1]

This is one of those sick ass commercials they made after poor Orville died. DISGUSTING !

[yourcathatesme]

@chicagodaddy1 they asked his grandson about it, and he said that orville would have approved. I dunno if thats true , but i know I personally would love to be in a commercial after i'm dead.

[MRB2456]

wtf was that???

[caddad69]

Wtf this isnt creepy,

[TheSpartanondrugs]

@caddad69 well the guy was dead when they made it

[Exccentrous1]

After this commercial aired, advertising agencies made a truce to not use necromancy ever again before banding together to destroy this thing.

[therealblueninja]

this shit is scary

[MrDragonranger]

OH MY GOD.

[pasadenacatpink]

One word: ANDROID.

[Soulsphere001]

@pasadenacatpink

Nah, just CG.

[thealestar]

Never trust a CG person who wears a bow tie.

[TheSofel]

@thealestar Bow ties are cool

[Brelm]

@thealestar Bowties are cool.

[joseph011296]

first of all what the fuck and second cracked.com is great

[hoyt596]

Your "Fluffier Popcorn" is obviously the result of your company's evil necromantic magics!

[E96111]

"or my name isn't orvilleredenbacher.3ds"

[DevinTClark]

you have ta think, if they bumped up the quality of the CGi just a bit more it would be totally unnoticeable.

[QueenAnime99]

@DevinTClark Improved CGI wouldn't have helped this. Even the real people are creepy.

[DevinTClark]

@QueenAnime99

Well yeah, but I mean it wouldn't of been as noticeable that it was fake. Children would be crying for the rest of their lives.

[mandaladouble]

They should have just used the clone.

[thecrispyjew]

hippity hop

[godzillaman1954X]

oh god Im scared and hungry at the same time

[herbertmoon11]

ORVILLE REDENBACHER ES SUOCH A WHOE

[nosorab3]

0:04

...Mr. Redenbacher? But...but I thought you were...Oh god.

[QueenAnime99]

@nosorab3 Ahahaha! :D

[CarlyAllHeart1]

My life...

was just raped on a new level.

[mistamontiel]

"REDENBACHER HUH !?" Whurr the fuck is that commercial.

[progrockcoffee]

HIS EYES ...THEY HAVE FOUND MY SOUL ...

[MegaM7777]

lol not really creepy

[KylesNuclearFilms]

I want pop corn! ;( *sniff* *sniff*

[Deadjuice360]

"You'll like it better, or my name isn't Orville Redenbacher!"

Well its probably not, because your probably just a monster with Orville's face, and the camera cut away just in time for the people at 00:25 to prove it by ripping your face off.

[Jaistar2k22]

Listen here mr Redenbacher you get back in your grave right now oor you get the shotgun mouthwash.

[ZurriyetBlogs]

zurriyet

[Werewolvesareawesome]

He looks real until u see him in the microwave.

[ViralTuber]

That's actually a girl in the dead grandpa suit, ...and that's creepy.

[Sylocat]

"Hello, I'm Orville Redenbacher."

Right from the beginning, that thing lies to us.

[buddhaman1959]

@canibal803 In January 2007, an advertisement featuring a digital re-creation of Redenbacher appeared on television. Redenbacher's grandson, Gary Redenbacher, responded to questions about how he felt about the advertisement by saying: "Grandpa would go for it. He was a cutting-edge guy. This was a way to honor his legacy." It's digital, not "animated."

[orangejuice410404]

too bad they dont color the bags with red stripes anymore

[Applemask]

NOBODY CARES WHAT WEBSITE YOU WERE LAST READING

[Alchemist777]

UNCANNY VALLEY!!!!!!!!!!

[fairyheli2]

that wasn't that creepy

[Cherrie951]

-stares- I'm so... disgusted and confused about the reasoning behind this.

[marmas58ink]

@Cherrie951 Color me confused too. Some people obviously put a good deal of effort into this. But what the 'message' or logic is... I can't say. ...It succeeds in being odd... maybe that's what they were going for.

'Of diffuse intent'

[MetroActiveTV]

Yep that's creepy - check out this video about his popcorn by typing in "orville redenbacher vs selection popping corn"

[ArfPaws]

This is seriously messed up

[NoldoWise]

A fine example of the influence of H.P. Lovecraft in pop-corn marketing? Yes, yes it is.

[Erosdriver]

More like Deadenbacher amirite?

[cbappa2]

@Erosdriver gud 1 brah were did ya steel dat one lulz

[zerombr]

uncanny valley ftl

[5xfunny]

haha i love the way he grabs the popcorn out of the microwave at 0:10

[SiNN4R]

Remember morality? I want my own corpse marionette.

[LackofEthics]

Hey, check out my new CREATIVE ZEN. Oh yeah, and I sell popcorn, I guess. Also I'm undead or something. Buy creative and leave your soul by the door.

[VRJay]

It honestly looks like the marketing department hired somebody to dig up Mr. Redenbacher's corps, string it up to some nightmarish contraption of pulleys and wires, and then parade the soulless pantomimes of this ghastly marionette around to the confused horror of onlookers.

[Sparrowsong83]

I remember seeing that commercial, and yes, it is creepy!

[GreyGhostly]

What if your name is Orville Reddenbacher, but not the Orville Reddenbacher in person, but is really Orville Reddenbacher?

[zaengo]

this is horrifying.

[MrHornyWii]

He's CGI...Right? I'm watching this on mute and he looks unnatural!!!

[kirkkitsch]

What's with the weird bouncing up and down there at the end?

[rbendix]

@kirkkitsch His listening to music

[rbendix]

@kirkkitsch He is listening to music*

[GitForceGemini]

I hope they warned his family before they aired this.

[nicksparky117]

Sounds like he's listening to The Carter III

[what55ify]

Dude.... his name ISN'T Orville Redenbacher, seeing as Mr. Orville died some time ago....

[p14y4h0n3]

no way someone that old even knows what 30gb is.

[MrJKILLA7]

is he even real he look so much like plastic and fake

[jack0skeleton666]

@MrJKILLA7 no dude the real guy has been dead for some time now

[MrJKILLA7]

@jack0skeleton666 well duda i knw that i just said that he look fake as hell ok i knw he dead ok he look like a sureal manquin or some sort of demon with skin

[hotmamiime]

Mmmmmm... popcorn

[Gigaspine7]

I shat myself at the fact that CGI has gotten this indestinguishable from reality, and yet it's used to do things like this.

[JakeandElwoodBlues]

Orville's dead. He had a heart attack and drowned in his jecuzzi. Let him rest in peace already!

[ThePolypop]

Thats funny

[wetterdew]

lol

he keeps on bouncing at the end

[TenshiSuzume]

that wasn't creepy just dumb

[jaqez]

What a weird commercial.

[zenzang333]

thats not even orville. . .

[fhistleb]

And no one notices that he's a zombie?

[holycow818181]

@fhistleb The guy at 0:04 seems to notice, judging by the look on his face.

[aggradef]

What? Where's the creepy part?

[digital785]

@aggradef The guy advertising is dead

[rebelslayer13]

@aggradef Orville Redenbacher is dead, and the fake one in this commercial doesn't look remotely real.

[Slacktoo]

@aggradef The part where it's a fucking CGI face of person who's been dead since 1995

[TheDoctorisin2181]

You aren't Orville Redenbacher...

I WATCHED HIM DIE!!!!

[Shankopottomus]

Dead means DEAD.

[dekimachor]

cracked

[TazAgainstTheMachine]

OH MY GOT KILL IT KILL IT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOT KILL IT

[sammarexia]

cracked

[Schpinki]

Zombies eat popcorn too.

[thereefshark]

Seriously: who at the company thought that shamelessly resurrecting their founder/pitchmen as a zombie was a good marketing strategy? I mean this makes editing actual footage for grave robing seem fine in comparison

[Slacktoo]

@thereefshark agreed 100%...... they should have just raped his family one by one and filmed it

[Mab13]

Sometimes dead is better

[bullonay]

This is just wrong...

[vpdp0001]

CRACKED.COM!

[GooGooGajoob67]

@vpdp0001 ME TOO!

[vpdp0001]

@GooGooGajoob67 Haha

[jimmigene]

@GooGooGajoob67 tvtropes for me

[SultanChase]

@vpdp0001 Haha, yeah, I just read it there too!

[Karanime]

Yes. That's pretty scary.

[Ginyustyle]

AHHHHH!!! THE DEAD HAVE RISEN AND ARE MAKING SNACKS!!!!

[194219692009]

@Ginyustyle lol you just made my day

[chizeltips]

Fucking zombie scum
