Never say no to a panda...


This is one of the funniest TV advert sequences I've seen - seven shorts, each about thirty seconds; made in Egypt for Panda brand cheese. 

What makes them, is the comic timing; and the panda himself. 

Enjoy.

I can't imagine many ad campaigns portraying the brand mascot as an aggressive psychopath, but it is hilarious (possibly the funniest ad campaign I've ever seen), and I'd definitely say 'yes' to some Panda cheese after that.

@SFG - Yes, it is the opposite of most adverts. It does not make you want to consume the product, but implants a fear of Not consuming it.

This just reminded me that the late Hosni Mubarak was known as "La Vache Qui Rit" because his grinning mug supposedly bore a resemblance to the laughing cow on the cheese wrapper.

What's this thing about Egypt---slightly sinister animals---cheese?

There must be more to it!

In the first of the grocery store spots, I thought they were going to have used a breakaway prop shopping cart that the panda would stomp into scrap.

I wonder, could the panda symbolize China?
---Nah.
