New Meta/Facebook ad - The Tiger & The Buffalo

#Metaad #newfacebookad #tigerandbuffalo
As you probably know Facebook is changing to Meta. And here's their new ad for Meta from the nice people at Droga5. See what you think. Also please hit the subscribe button. Thanks.

This ad wouldn't look out of place in a surrealist horror movie

[caligulas_horse]

Never seen people so happy to meet their sleep paralysis demons.

“This is going to be fun.” “You will own nothing and you will be happy.”

[samtheman]

This is actually terrifying in every way. I’d like this to never be on my TV again.

Animals deliberately designed in 'uncanny valley' style, the way two of those kids bob their head with apprehension, the snakes, the "This is going to be fun. (trust us)" statement while the tiger and ox look at each other (like when you're plotting something sinister)... yeahh that's a hard pass from me, chief.

Pretty sure they knew putting out this ad would upset people. They're just messing with us at this point. Now that the dislike button is gone and "Meta" has turned off commenting on their videos, it's more important than ever to speak out about the path that big tech companies are taking. I don't want to live in a fantasy dystopia.

No one ever mentions the fact that the tiger quotes the twilight zone intro

“It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.”

perfectly sums up what they were trying to achieve.

This gives me dystopian vibes. They look so mesmerized, like their minds are being controlled, like they're being hypnotized. Even the song used in the ad is called "Way in my brain."

[ashkanmehryari]

I swear to God, when I first saw this ad, I didn't know what it was for and 3/4 of the way through, I turned to my girlfriend and asked "is this an ad for LSD?"

[E_Crypto]

Can’t believe a group of people sat in a room and thought this was a good idea.

[ezralbs]

The future of the internet is flamingos twerking

[timespark]

I feel so bad for the children that have been exposed to this ad.

[LollipopSnowy]

Scared the ever living crap out of me when I woke up from my nap last night.

Aside from the disturbing stuff in the ad, people have also started to point out the satanic and monotheistic imagery and symbols present in the ad. The garden of eden, Saturn, black cubes, and zoro astrionism with the tiger and the Buffalo. Really disturbing stuff.

[ziontrask]

We can all agree Social media is the tiger and we’re the Buffalo right? We’re being comforted by the very thing putting us in danger

[devilish]

Genuinely one of the most soulless and creepy ads ive seen

[josht.]

The symbolism in this is crazy y’all better pay attention

[BobMarley-sehp]

It pains me that they used a line from the Twilight Zone in this sin

[Nhamp]

Okay, I admit this is partially coming from the fact that I'm in the "get off my lawn" phase of my life; I was 16 years old when Apple launched the famous "1984" ad during the Super Bowl. That commercial depicted a dystopian society that was going to be set free by the introduction of the Computer Age. 37 years later, four people in an art museum are turned into mindless automatons by the very invention that was supposed to free them.

Youth sees something they’re confused and maybe scared by, but begin to follow patterns they see. They eventually become immersed and separated. There is so much terrifying symbolism here
