This Chocolate Skittles spot from TBWA\Chiat\Day plays a bit like a cross between Monty Python and The Elephant Man. The pinata guy vaguely resembles John Cleese (he’s even got an English accent), while his overall appearance, bearing and hilariously tortured parting shot (“I have to buy my Skittles downstairs, like everybody. I’m just like everyone else!”) reminds me of John Hurt’s Oscar-nominated turn in the aforementioned David Lynch movie. AdFreak.com notes that this commercial was likely among the last work helmed by Gerry Graf at TBWA\C\D.
