Skittles: Reflect the Rainbow



They keep getting stranger and stranger... but they must work.

Click here for some other weird Skittles ads.

This one is called The Tailor. Anyone have a translation? I think the man was eating the last of the Skittles and his friend was a bit peeved.

UPDATE
Translation:

Customer: Wait. I'm not eating Skittles.

Thai Tailor: Hey! You're not allowed to eat while you're working.

Filipino Mirror: Well, I'm hungry.

Thai Tailor: Ay! I have to tell you again, dummy.

Filipino Mirror: Well, I'm hungry, so of course I'm going to eat.

Thai Tailor: You're so lazy, long back! (Thai slang for lazy)

Filipino Mirror: Son of a bitch, I'm hungry!

Skittles: Feet

I swear, Skittles ads and related marketing content are created by people on acid (just check out their website, and don't forget to "Blend the Rainbow" on the bottom left). But just because the creatives were higher than gas prices when they thought of their commercials doesn't mean they're not good. Heck, LSD helped Francis Crick discover DNA, and once even led professional baseball player Dock Ellis to a no-hitter.

Skittles has had some zany spots in the past. Who could forget the one where everything the guy touches turns to Skittles? Or the one with the man getting milked? Oh and the classic with the sheep boys, and the human piƱata, and the beard one!

Well today I saw a really weird one...



How do they come up with this stuff? And why do I find it funny?
