10.14.09 Q: WHAT THE HELL? A: OH, RIGHT – GERMANY.

gushers-hed

I hope you took your daily dose of acid this morning, because things are about to get creepy and German around here. The video below is something odd and spandex-filled called “Kinderkreis,” and I’m going to let Ad Rants to describe it:

“Kinderkreis,” a universe constructed for Gushers video “Danse Gooshers,” is a fictional TV show where occasionally uncomfortable-looking German kids are offered a product. Then they tell the host how they feel about it — think “crazy with happiness!” — and a series of spandex-ensconced interpretive dancers pump out that sentiment to the best of their abilities.

Basically, this is the Mike Myers “Sprockets” sketch crossed with the Mike Myers dance interludes in Austin Powers crossed with the feeling you might get from a heavy petting session with Mike Myers. And when I started that last sentence, I had no intention of there being so much Mike Myers. But the video is just that disturbing.

“creepy and German” is redundant.

btw Matt, thanks for satisfying my “German girls in spandex body suits” fetish today.

Based solely on the look in that dude’s eyes from the screen grab, there is NO WAY IN HELL I am watching that video.

It’s not real German TV. That said, it still kicks the ass of anything PBS could come up with.

If this is really a German ad, then I think they’re finally in on the joke.

If the orange-glad chap is trying to look “crazy with happiness,” I’d hate to see his “pensive” look.

What, Frau Merkel has a new video? No? But this spandex could dress her just fine.
These guys may speak german, but they also got a strange accent and intonation.
Last but not least the fine misspelling (possibly intentional, who knows)in the credits: Schauspiler; right= Schauspieler. And of course, when it comes again to the credits – “Das Kind” (the child – singular), allright, how many of them were in that show? Just this one? I count nine…
Apparently a weird ad (righty, Herr Conan!) from http://www.generalmills.com/corporate/brands/brand.aspx?catID=11309&groupID=19418#23349

SOLVED! Okay, this doesn´t make us krauts less creepy and we are still evil people!
