Crusha Kittens launch
This is your brain on crusha.
The Crusha Kittens were an ad campaign for a British brand of milkshake mixes, named Crusha, which aired during 2003-2014.
Synopsis[]
The ad takes place in a grass field, where a band of cats is playing instruments (Like a Accordion), as well as there are cows in the background, who get crushed by large Crusha bottles.
The lyrics of this commercial are:
I want some Crusha, a little Crusha.
Milk keeps me fit, it tastes so great.
I want some Crusha, a glass of Crusha.
It's tough enough, to make [a] milkshake.
Why It's Cursed[]
A Cursed Cow's Face
The ad is just like the Spongemonkeys ads for Quiznos (also the creation of Joel Veitch of Rathergood.com fame), a bunch of stock images found online pasted and animated together. While not as jarring as the infinitely more infamous spongemonkeys, this ad's more problematic elements present themselves almost immediately. The cat's mouths are strange and ill fitting, and the entire ad showcases cows being crushed to death by comically large bottles, making horrified faces all the while.
Trivia[]
- This ad was later banned on television, for an odd reason. It was banned because someone in Lowestoft tried to replicate the commercial using real cats. The clips, which were uploaded on YouTube, drew attention from local, and eventually national, news campaigns, and the man was later arrested.
- These genre of commercials was based of the video "western kittens"
- The 2014 ads are now animated.
- In August 2014, Crusha ditched Errol's crew, and it turned in 2D. The logo features a cat's tongue moved to the left and it says "Crusha".
