Sears puts some stupid in your stocking as the Denskies, an enthusiastic but hapless family of four, return in a trio of spots by mcgarrybowen. We're talking Little Caesar's-level silliness here, with lots of sight gags, screaming and stuff exploding, and I salute the retail chain for steering clear of safe and sedate yuletide fare.

One ad riffs on The Exorcist, revolving around a possessed fortune teller with really creepy eyes. It's enough to make your head spin.
