If you like a good twist ending, check out this French action-comedy spot for Mondelez’s Tassimo coffee and Belvita breakfast cookies.
It plays on classic (hackneyed) tropes—a nerdy guy makes for an unlikely, comic-book-style hero, rescuing a damsel in distress from a group of sinister hoodlums. But it’s full of funny little surprises.
Created by Buzzman and set in New York City, the casting also flirts, at the very least, with xenophobic stereotypes (darker-skinned criminals vs. lighter-skinned innocents). But—spoiler alerts ahead—try to keep a straight face when the woman starts making a sound that’s not quite human (also, in real life, the chivalrous knight is actually wearing a different kind of white shining armor).
