This new Skittles work from DDB Chicago further convinces us that if aliens ever do make a pit stop on earth during their interstellar escapades, they’ll quickly toss the human race off as a mentally-challenged tribe of misfits in need of a few more millennia of cognitive development to be worthy of our own interstellar wings.

After all, who in their right mind wouldn’t think that after watching this commercial in which a couple dumbed-down, Zooey Deschanel-like girls squabble over the identity of their walrus-like boyfriends and whether or not one’s looks determine one’s inner being. Deep stuff.

Of course, this being advertising – whether or not aliens can recognize the difference – we all get pass to just laugh and appreciate the true oddity of the creative mind behind this work.

Children raised in cold houses don’t grow up to be cold people — they grow up to be the warmest people in every room they enter because they decided very young that nobody else should ever feel the way they felt and they have been making good on that decision ever since at enormous personal cost
