Cadbury Still Doesn’t Make Sense – Yet Somehow, Makes Plenty – After All These Years

Fallon has put together a new ad for Cadbury, a brand that only conjures memories of that bunny that laid chocolate eggs. Was that effort from the ’80s?

In any case, you really have to watch it if only to see the priceless expression of ecstasy that appears on the gorilla’s face before it launches into the drum riff.

This is going to sound crazy, but when he rolled his eyes up like that and just breathed in the Phil Collins, we could actually smell the rich milk chocolate of a Cadbury bar.

We’re not sure why “In the Air Tonight” was chosen as the soundtrack to utopia, but we promise you – it helped. It gave everything an indoor-electric-fan, long-hair-blowing, man-chest-showing ’80s porn vibe. So really, things came full circle: it’s like no time passed between the bunny and the gorilla at all.
