Skittles Commercial (F/m)

[Count Zeppelin]

In a fairy-tale type setting, a woman in a long white dress is standing in front of a "boy" (presumably her son, who looks to be about 30 years old). He's made up to appear half human and half tree. From his outstretched arms, branches are sprouting, bearing Skittles candies.

As his mother talks about how this time of year is harvest time for the Skittles, she reaches over and starts tickling her "son's" midsection with her hand. He protests and she says in a coaxing tone of voice, "C'mon, give mama a smile." He starts laughing and shaking all over and Skittles start dropping from his branches onto the ground.

It's weird and cute at the same time and very unusual for an American TV commercial to feature tickling in such a blatant manner.

Very rare to see a tickling scene in a normal U.S. tv commercial.

It's good to see that tickling is expanding its horizons. Hope it continues.

Thanks.
