Domino’s dumbs down dessert again

The Domino’s dumb dessert commercial strategy continues. First, there was the ridiculous ad with Fudgems the brownie, and above, there’s one of the new spots touting Domino’s Oreo Dessert Pizza, featuring the Oreo Dessert Pizza moustache. It’s so stupid—in a good way—I’m laughing myself all the way to the obesity clinic. You can see another spot in the series here. From the Perlorian Brothers and JWT.

You have an unusual sense of humor Catherine. Thought these felt very Little Ceasers-in-the-early-90s and not as well done.

I disagree with Rashi...very funny. The "beard is bigger every time you cut back" bit is a nice touch. Dumb product, great ad. The Perlorians are on fire.

Incredible. Even the commercials can't top the product in absurdity.

If you think beards that grow impossibly fast is funny, check out one of Wooden Nickel Production's earlier shorts:

These all seem like SNL parody ads from the late 1970s. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
