TBWA BEING gets goofy in their latest spot for Wheat Thins, entitled “Trap Door.”
In the 15-second spot, a man explains to his wife that’s he’s created a trap door to keep anyone from stealing his Wheat Thins. Drawn to the box of Wheat Thins, he then falls through his own trap door. The spot concludes with the annoyingly shouted “Must! Have! Wheat Thins” tagline. It’s all pretty much as ridiculous as it sounds, but then that’s likely what TBWA was going for. Something about the comedic timing seems a bit off, though, and the humor falls flat.
