My nephew had been flooding my DMS asking me to watch the latest RC cola commercial. So I gave in and decided to watch so the kid will leave me alone. Holly Mother of Biscuits. I am shook with this commercial. It was melodramatic at the start and suddenly it have a twist that reminds me of Japanese commercials and super bowl commercials. It is a commercial of RC cola about a boy asking his mother if he is adopted. The ending of the commercial blew my mind. It amazing what lines advertisers can cross to promote their products. its a very twisted sense of humor. This is subtitled in English.
no thanks, i'll just stick to cokeoriginal - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXWj5BK7evMsubs are mine

This post sounds about as non-essential and silly as the commercial.

@marlina I think it is intended but this commercial apparently scared many toddlers. I mean head decapitation on national tv.

Well its not a copy of a Japanese commercial but it has the characteristic of a Japanese commercial which is known to be crazy. It also have elements of a super bowl commercial

I think rc's intention is to become a meme since they cant compete with coke when it comes to taste. RC is too acidic for me that it hurts to drink.

@marlina I would ban that commercial, it makes no sense and it is even offensive.
