Annoying dancing dandy loves Starburst Is it the haircut, the clothes, the song or the jig that make this berries-and- cream-loving Englishman so loathsome? Perhaps it’s all of the above. Hopefully he’s leaving on the next bus to visit some other Starburst misfits, like the beluga-whale cleaners, the separated-at-birth rollerbladers or the faux-Jamaican boy toy. Or maybe someone could shuttle him off to the factory from this Starburst spot and drop him into the oil drum. By TBWA\Chiat\Day, New York. Via ’boards magazine. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Everyone hates this ad the first time they see it. But it gets better with every viewing.

Great stuff.

I swear this guy is a rip off of the character Dobie Broadway, Jr. who appeared on the cartoon series My Gym Partner's a Monkey in the episode The Prince and the Pooper

Little Lord Fauntleroy appears to be the basis.

Oh my heck, that's hilarious! I've never seen a greater freak-out over a piece of candy!

This has to be one of the funniest commercials I've seen in a while. I can't help but lmao everytime I see that creepy berries-and-cream dandy.

this is probably one of those ads that you either love or hate...and i love it, it's sheer brilliance!

what i find most amazing is that after only seeing the tv spot once, it left a very memorable impression and i went to youtube to find it. i only had to see the ad once to recall the jist of it and definitely knew what the ad was for. how many advertisers can say that about their spots?

that said, it seems like the people at the creative shop for masterfoods have been doing a few too many drugs lately (starburst, snickers, milky way ...all some of my favorites)
