Walmart Scary Clown Commercial Makes Us Laugh – And Cry – VIDEO
We’re used to getting a kick out of some of the more creative Super Bowl commercials, but this year we got a gem a bit early. The Walmart clown commercial aired during Sunday’s playoff games certainly got a laugh out of us, but we have mixed feelings about being entertained by the amusing advertisement.

When we first saw the Walmart scary clown commercial, it was a laugh-out-loud reaction. After all, how many of us DON’T have a strange, buried fear of clowns? They are just fucking creepy! And any adult who wants to dress up like a clown and act like a weirdo in front of gangs of children freaks us out!
Walmart’s scary clown ad touched on that social stereotype of clown fear in their humorous advertisement and we laughed right along with thousands of other viewers. And then we realized it was a Walmart commercial and hated them for pulling us in. Because we hate blood-sucking, union-busting, corporate mega-whoring companies like Walmart.
And it makes us sad that we laugh at their commercial anyway. You have to admit, they are pretty damn good at what they do. That’s why they keep draining the life out of their competitors on a daily basis. Sigh.
We won’t be, however, buying a damn thing from Walmart just because they sucker-punched us into a quick laugh. So there.

This will be my new go to clip when I need a laugh. I actually saw it for the first time last night and I literally laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face, my dogs thought I’d lost it. And I’m not a LOL at TV commercials kinda person. Everytime I remember it I get the giggles. Far as I’m concerned, it could very well be the best (giggling) commercial I’ve ever seen. Do I remember what the commercial is for? Not so much

Ha! That killed me too! Loved it. That, and those Cougar car commercials about manbags and 2012.
