Say hello to “Chromance,” a short vid by Superfad for Google’s Chrome browser.
Never mind that Chrome’s shine faded months ago. A clear storyline and a soft relatable protagonist brings even the rustiest of logos back to race-quality lustre.
Our hero, a smushy cross between Kirby and a giant tooth, perches in front of an unsettling Hal’s eye (in this case, Chrome personified) and poses a simple enough question: “Chicken or egg?”
He’s immediately sucked into a weird paper joyride of poultry, chattering teeth, neon-lit gambling havens and other mixed messages. Eventually he finds the answer he needs; covered in yolk, Chrome spits him back out.
Awkward metaphor, thar.
Thanks to great ads for bringing the piece to light.
