I know you are into weird shit and/or creepy fuckery, so you just might enjoy these 35 seconds of pure cognitive dissonance.
This is a Russian ad for a shop that sells work clothes. And yes, the shop is called “We Cum,” which makes absolutely no sense in Russian.
But still – there are boobs, a naked lady with a crying eagle tearing through her chest, some crazy guy and shoes.
Da komrad! Must buy when finish wodka.
If that ad doesn’t convert me, nothing will.
What the ever-loving-hell was that?
Someone needs to go to Russia and take all their photoshop away. seriously.
oh wow, I knew April would like that!
I also have an urge to share a translation (if one can possibly translate something that makes as much sense as harlem shake) of what that guy’s moaning:
we cum
a mystery
sky and water
working soul
popular rumor
we cum birth of an epoch
we cum life
we cum WECUM saving people
we cum love
I actually watched that stuff frame by frame. Several times in a row. And now my brain hurts.
Tacocat you have my profound sympathy for enduring that pain to render the translation. I have to join with the others here and ask: WTF was that?
This is what passes for effective advertising in Russia? Really?
Ya know, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to do acid.
I’ve done acid… this wasn’t like that at all.
I’m going to get drunk on potato juice, then watch that again. Maybe it’ll make more sense.
I just ordered a shitload of shoes and stuff from a Russian website. And maybe a bride? Pray for me!
I saw, but I didn’t come.
This video won’t last long on youtube.
One of the top comments in russian used to be: “Finally, I found porn on youtube!”
But seriously, I don’t know a single person who watched that ad only once. It makes you hit replay over and over.
It’s like that pon pon pon vid (I strongly recommend not to google that unless you really want to waste the rest of the day in a catatonic state drooling all over the keyboard).
THANK YOU for reminding me of the Ponponpon video. I forgot all about the box of Kraft dinner.
Someone needs to look up the definition of cognitive dissonance.
Sorry, the psychology nerd in me had to bring it up.
The psychology nerd in me also wants to know what the fuck is wrong with Russian television.
Acid makes more more sense than that clip did.
Why do I suddenly feel the need for work clothes?
It’s the subtle psychology of the advertisement- it makes you want to have a reason to leave the house, a purpose in life so you don’t have to hang around watching that shit.
Except for the naked lady, it looks like a Target commercial.
Olga, could you get naked and pretend to wave a balloon around in front of this green screen?
Sure!
Thanks. I owe you one.
Well if that doesn’t sell work clothes, I don’t know what will.

You should enjoy this one… and I think the first guy’s frog was even featured on Regretsy!
So, where did April go? She just lives us with fucked up Russian television clips and disappears? Did she go on an extended trip to Russia to find out what they’re drinking over there??
I believe she by-passed experimentation and dove into full scale research.
I’m sure this all makes perfect and complete sense in a country where everyone’s brains have been pickled in vodka.
Is April still alive?
April. Are you ok?
