I have no idea how this commercial slid past me. It's several years old, and I am just now discovering it.
I was going down a rabbit hole on the Internet and, as one would expect, a commercial started before the video. But instead of the old keep clicking on skip till it goes away, I watched in what I could only describe as awe and bafflement. I have just witnessed the Purple Protector Bigfoot commercial, and I don't care how old the damn thing is. I have this compulsion now to tell people about it and show them. Show them the pure insanity and hilarious commercial for a bed sheet protector.
Alright, so the first thing you notice is Mama Sasquatch and her son, Junior; a little person in a sasquatch costume that really looks so damn close to what Jack Black wore in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. But it also makes me think of Chaka from the TV series Land of the Lost.
There is also Daddy Bigfoot who is busy trying to prove to the Bigfoot world that humans exist. But that is almost a throw away piece to this awesome, nearly four minutes, commercial.
This commercial goes from weird, to funny, insulting Nickleback, a sorta graphic poo joke, and a cartoon dramatization of Bigfoot Junior peeing on bed sheet cover. Oh, yeah, did I mention that this whole commercial is for Purple Protector; a mattress cover that is Sasquatch approved.
During the whole commercial it goes from the absurd and full circles back to being a work of genius. No joke, this commercial is so wonderfully brilliant to me. See for yourself.
Now for those who want to know the why and how. Here is a behind the scenes video on the making of this commercial. A lot of work went into it, and love. Glorious love.
