I'm sure most AdJab readers have seen a variation of this ad: a young office drone bites into his ChocoStix, signing "I wonder what's inside?" as if he's in an off-key version of A Chorus Line. When he discovers that there's Oreo inside, he goes "It's Oreo! The inside tastes just like an Oreo!", then he starts belting out the rest of the tune. In one version of the ad, his office mates tell him to shush. But in the version of the ad below, all of his office mates join him a song and dance routine, complete with jazz hands.

I'm not sure how I feel about these ads. I kind of like this guy's warbly, off-key singing in Broadway musical style. But I'm wondering why they cast this floppy-haired "alterna-dude" in the role. Wouldn't it have been better to cast someone who actually looks like an office drone, not an actor uncomfortably dressed in a shirt and tie? One of the other office mates in this ad -- a redhead with a beard -- looks like another "alterna-dude" that, if he works in an office, it's probably not one that makes people wear shirts and ties (both guys would look very realistic if the office was at Google, for instance). Anyway, I think this is one of those ads that you love the first couple of times you see it, but gets irritating after repeated viewings. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
