Huh? So Elmo, Beavis and Butthead pulled a train on Barney the Purple Fucking Dinosaur, and this is the unholy lovechild?

The vibrant, viscous, dripping, dayglo orange fluid doesn't fill you with curiosity? Weird.

I believe these are ads for Canadian convenience store, Mac's new frosty beverage product.

Ads for Mac's are proof that Canadia does more drugs than the US and possibly the world.

It looked like the girls were drinking Mr. Tree's urine, so no, not so much.
For the uninitiated, WTF is some stupid drink at a Canadian convenience store, judging by the youtube comments.

Okay, so these are television ads? I'm surprised, I thought they were lame virals.

These are indeed tv commercials here in Canadia. I suppose this is a Pepsi Blue post, but the youtube links are pretty awesome in their own weird way.

Awesome. Frosters aren't new, they've always been the Mac's equivalent of Slurpees. This summer they've adopted ad ad campaign that uses a lot of 'net acronyms. They're using STFU to stand for "Suck The Froster Up".

I'm guessing WTF is supposed to mean "Want The Froster" now.

Oh, in the name of all that is holy, is this another of those totally freakifying Mac's Convenience Store ads? A palomino posted a bunch of those elsewhere, and, I mean, yeah, props for being light-years more creative than any conceivable American commercials [cough, damning with faint praise], but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to ingest orange juice, orange pop, orange sherbet or so much as a a fucking creamsicle again without experiencing a screaming PTSD flashback.
The robot one especially [shudder]

I don't think they are on television, the logo in the lower left is outside of the safe title area so it would not be visible on most screens. There virals from the ad agency bos in Toronto, there's more too.

Watched the second one, and then the third. Impression: trying way too hard. The fun thing is then moving on to the first link and expecting more puppets. Hmm.
Man, I miss frosters/slurpees. For about 2 solid months, I'd see a 7-eleven or Circle K in Japan and say "hey, maybe this one has slurpees." Nope.
Thanks for this, Cat Pie. I've been trying to remember that "now you've got the shivers" step by step for quite a while now.

On 2nd watching, I missed the orange puppet screaming "WHY? WHY?!" the first time around, so it gets a few extra points from me.

I missed the robot one. That sealed the deal. First chance I get, I'm heading north, and I'm going to make sweet love to Canada. I'll even sleep in the orange spot.

So these "frosters" are robot ejaculate, hm? That's one hell of an ad campaign, that's for sure.

I have to say that if I were back in Canada, I'd certainly buy one of these to try it and if I at all liked it, I'd get it again.
I'm a sucker for crazy creativity.

Hear you. A couple of places in the town I lived had Sofrozen, which was a nice treat on a hot day, but there are only a couple of flavors (Melon??? That flavor alone deserves a WTF) and the cups are rather small. And Sofrozen is rarely sold at convenience stores in Japan, which is rather inconvenient on a 105 degree day.
I toyed with leasing a Sofrozen machine to put in the little school we ran, for the students (and for me). But my wife nixed the idea.

I think I just learned from the youtube comments that Canadian convenience stores are sometimes known as couche-tards?

"couche-tard" = "night owl". The general word you're looking for is dépanneur. Couche-tard is a chain of convenience stores in Quebec.

I've learned to say "hello" in Aramhaic, Ga and Serbo-croatian thanks to the lovely folks who work at my Mac's (17th and 17th SW, Calgary). Bananas are 98 cents EACH though.
