Twix Commercial - Get the Girl

Twix Commercial - Get the Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQJ2SegGWyc

The commercial i found on YouTube is a commercial made by Twix. The commercial sets up a scenario of a man and a women discussing politics. The man later on in the conversation tries to ask the woman to go back to his apartment. The Woman is offended by this. The man then quickly shoves a Twix in his mouth to buy himself time for an excuse. He cleverly comes up with the idea of just wanting the opportunity to blog about their common ideals.

This commercial is suppose to be funny. It sets up the situation that a lot of men or women can relate to, a man trying to take home a woman. The situation is funny, and awkward, because the man says the wrong thing and needs a minute to think of something to say. (Funny because it's not you) I think the commercial is successful in getting into peoples heads, maybe next time the viewer is in a awkward situation the might jokingly say "I need a twix right now."

Twix is not actually advertising that you should shove a twix in your mouth if you need a minute to think, that actually could be a choking hazard. Instead, they are just trying to trying to make a memorable advertisement that people will talk about, or that you will remember in the check out line at the grocery store, the gas station, or anywhere else you might find a twix.
