A SICKLY humorous ad from Britain advertising the newspaper The Guardian. Aired in 2003.
Bambi 3- Now with Testicles
Advert[]
We first start off with a Disney-styled animation depicting a mother cow and her calf sweetly talking to each other about how their body parts are sold to supermarkets after death. The calf soon asks "What about my testicles?" We then cut to a live-action shot of a man eating a meat pie as he cheers with several football fans as the ad transitions to the advertising for the paper.
Why It's Cursed[]
The subject matter of the ad is off-putting and the calf asking about his testicles, followed by the shot of the meat cake, can raise eyebrows, as it implies the cow's balls are IN the meat pie. Some may find this funny, though. It received complaints shortly after airing, and was edited in later showings. They used Bambi from Disney. Combined with the strange fact that this cartoon somehow meant to sell a newspaper, it makes for a confusing commercial in addition to cursed.
