We’ve constantly been seeing this commercial on how to awesome your office reputation. A seemingly out of place male nurse doesn’t quite connect with his fellow coworkers. However, when he gets home, he catches up on the latest TV episodes of Glee and learns some of the dance moves. When he gets back to work, he shows off his moves to his new-found friends at work. It’s a fun commercial about connecting through entertainment.

As we get closer to Halloween, we are increasingly seeing this Snickers commercial. When he’s hungry in Halloween, the Headless Horseman becomes the Horseless Headsman. On Halloween night, kids are out trick or treating and along comes a giant head with kids’ feet sticking out. The head is a CGI head of a white haired older man, who bumps into a car as he walks down the sidewalk and encounters a group of kids. It says, “I am here for your heads! I’m the horseless headsman”. The kid in the alien costume says, “I think you mean the headless horseman”. “No, I mean the horseless headsman”, the big head replies. The Asian kid dressed as dracula says, “Have a Snickers”, and hands him a Snickers Bar. Big Head says, “Why?” Asian kid replies, “Because you get confused when you’re hungry”. Big Head puts Snickers in his mouth and eats it. Asian kid says, “Better?” Big Head says, “Better!” The commercial concludes with the tag line “You’re not you when your’re hungry”.
