Bananas are for monkeys (3)
What on earth is that thing? No, seriously, what the hell is that?
An ad promoting the Gainomax energy drink, stating that as opposed to a banana, Gainomax is better for workout.
Synopsis[]
Static flashes onto a TV screen, only to reveal a lone chair in a white room once the static ceases, later, a girl with an appearance likewise to the ring girl's teleports into aforementioned chair. A whispering voice can be heard saying "Humans, you must stop". Then things get weird when the chair starts spinning violently and the ring girl teleports closer to the camera, which changes angles seconds later. The voice from earlier then says "Stop now." (Stop what lady?) "Bananas are for monkeys, stop eating the monkeys' food". "ananab" (banana backwards) can be seen written in blood on the wall and the camera flashes some more. We then see a close up of the top of Samara's head, as she looks up she reveals herself to be....a monkey? (Wtf?) She then puts a box of Gainomax on the chair and says "Gainomax has twice the carbs and 20% more protein, stop eating my food" as the ad fades to black.
Why It's Cursed[]
Already, it's a parody of The Ring in a commercial about goddamn energy drink mix, which makes no sense whatsoever, the camera shifts angles for no reason, making it hard to follow along with the ad, and the whispering voice tries to be scary, but it becomes an ASMR video and fails miserably (just like this ad). The blood on the walls can also trigger someone's hemophobia (fear of blood). Most notably, the very image of a monkey with a wig on will BORE into your brain and populate the nightmares of all those unfortunate enough to view it.
