Cheemo: The Creepy Pierogi That Transcends Ethnicity
This '80s commercial for Cheemo brand extra-slimy pierogis has a very obvious subconscious takeaway: people from all cultural stereotypes love them, even uptight old rich ladies!:
"Goodness, they're slimy." If anyone out there is an aspiring commercial director, this one is a prime illustration of the role BACKGROUND MUSIC plays in not making your product seem like something that's going to kill people.

Speaking of going to kill people: the Ukrainian woman who walks into frame at 0:20. What do you call that? Crazy eyes?
From their website: "Heritage Frozen Foods Ltd. now produces enough CHEEMO perogy every year to circle the world."

Score = 3
the Girl on the box for the pierogies looks like she is taking a dump.

I think the funniest part of this commercial is the sound of the first lady swallowing at 0:04 right before she speaks.
