VIDEO of the Day: Superbowl-Worthy Ad Not on the Superbowl

By Debbie Schlussel

This ad from Nolan’s Cheddar isn’t going to be on during the Superbowl, but it’s definitely a Supe-worthy ad in my book.  You gotta watch the whole thing.  No, it’s not an ad for PETA.  Thanks to friend and reader Mary for the tip. (Isn’t it odd that they used two dead-before-their-time ’70s singers for this? Coincidence?)

Very funny but the image of a mouse in trap turns me off cheese, not to go out and buy some. Last time I caught a mouse in a snap trap the bar slammed right between the mouse’s eyes and squashed the skull. Not very appetizing.

I doubt it could ever be used for the Superbowl (might scare the kiddies), but my, that’s quite a magnificent commercial.

LOL. How do dey do dat?

Crazy as this sounds I was about to hurl upon seeing the dead mouse in the trap. But as soon as that mouse was pumping the iron of the trap to the opening part of “Eye of the Tiger”…LMGDAO! F-ING GENIUS!

TAKE THAT PETA WHO KILLS MORE ANIMALS THAN THEY ADOPT!

For some inexplicable reason I want to eat this brand of cheddar.

That’s it? Just “pumping” the trap..no escape or eating the hunk of cheese beside him?

Maybe it was implied, but it felt unfinished and boring.

As for Karen Carpenter…didn’t she die because she ate like a mouse???

great commercial but you should have seen me bust up our house cat!!!

Hate to say it but I liked it when I thought is was just dead. I was ready for a slow motion snap on the back of the neck of the mouse. But if you are curious about the real thing….

No happy ending. You might regret it if you watch.

ehhh…I just wish they’d show the mouse getting whacked in slo-mo…Not sure what you liked.

CalScream–maybe your vid will do the trick.

I wish they hadn’t used “Top of the World.” That’s one of my favorite songs!
