I like Skittles. My jaw always hurts after I eat too many of them because they're a bit too hard, but I've survived so far.
Anyway... The people who do the marketing for Skittles are batshit crazy and/or evil geniuses. I saw #2 on this list last night on Digg, and I thought I'd see what other freaky-ass commercials they have out there. Holy crap. I remember #1 gave me nightmares when it first came out. I've never seen #3 before, but that's going to give me nightmares tonight.
Here's my top 10. (With 3 bonus ones added at the end for a total of 13)
If you only have time for a couple of these, definitely skip down to 1-3. *shudder*
10 The Singing Bunny
9 Milk Man
8 Buff Angel
7 Suction Machine
6 Leaky Skittles
5 Skittles Beard
4 Elephant Tiger
3 Human Pinata
2 Foot Fetish commercial
1 Sheep-Human hybrid commercial
Welcome Fark people. People keep mentioning the "Skittles Touch" commercial and others, so here are some honorable mentions:

I really like Skittles so they must be doing something right!
2, 4, and 6. I'm sleeping with the lights on tonight. Especially Two.
Also, I had no idea they had Skittles Extreme Flavors or gum or double flavors. Can't even buy them here. *sniff*
Man, skittles commercials are weird. The beard one is pretty creepy. I remember another skittles commercial I saw on youtube, where everything the guy touched turned into skittles. Pretty depressing.
I just added the "Touch" commercial to the bottom of the post. Other than the sheep one, that's actually the only one of these I've seen on TV.
I remember at least 3 more Skittles commercials not on the list, but I think you grabbed the creepiest nonetheless. I'm a big fan of these commercials, and I think it's one of the best campaigns in advertising history. Thanks for putting them all in one place!
Ive seen the leaky skittles, skittle beard, and the sheepboys ones on TV, all were great
Alot of advertisers are catching on to the surreal side of things. I just hope they don't sink to the level of a Tim Heidecker/Eric Wareheim type of surrealism. Then, and only then, will we know that America has truly become teh stoopidz.
Those are some creepy spots!
that is awesome
especially the tiger lion and the skittles touch XD
but the only one that was bad was the foot fetish one >_<
