Uh, that second one is the entire plot to _The Prestige!
I can’t believe they are doing time travel/materialization paradoxes in a 60-second snack ad!
The 3rd one? Do people just let a snack hang out of their mouth like a cigarette? I don’t understand how this was every conceived of, let alone produced. Then… the remnants of her victim aren’t flesh but mannequin pieces that she can vacuum up? (And she still won’t actually eat the cracker?) What is going on??

At first I was like “Dear God, from the number signatures on his cast he obviously has a support group that should be extracting him from this toxic relationship, where are they?!”
Then I realized that no, those aren’t signatures. It’s just her writing over and over and over that he is not allowed to have Voiz.

I don’t know why it’s hanging out of her mouth, but the boyfriend was expecting an “accidental” kiss.
