Article –
Acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos, known for his surreal films like The Favourite and Poor Things, is bringing his unique style to the world of food delivery advertising. He has been hired to direct a campaign for a popular food delivery app, promising commercials filled with strange imagery and existential undertones.
The Real Scoop (Seriously)
Lanthimos is creating a series of ads featuring meals that appear to judge or question the consumers before being eaten. Expect:
- Eggs with judgmental yolks
- Burgers that won’t be eaten until philosophical questions are answered
- Potentially rebellious breadsticks
The campaign aims to blend food and surrealism, offering a very unconventional take on advertisements.
Internet Meltdown & Meme-Quake
The announcement sparked a huge reaction online, with fans divided between amusement and confusion. Highlights include:
- #EggsWithAttitude trending on Twitter
- Memes of talking pizzas and hallucinating drivers
- A fan petition #BringBackTheSimpleBurger demanding simpler ads
Conspiracy Corner
Some theorists speculate that this collaboration might be part of a secret government mind-control experiment disguised as advertising. Alternate viewpoints suggest Lanthimos is simply devoted to pushing artistic boundaries, with rumors of a cucumber character named ‘The Observer’ appearing in the ads.
If Producers Went Full Banana
If Lanthimos’ signature surrealism is fully embraced, expect ads with:
- Fragmented and unusual dialogue
- Close-ups of expressive vegetables like peas
- Unconventional soundtracks (think jazz-improvising cats)
- Slow-motion dramatic shots of noodles escaping forks
This approach could inspire similarly avant-garde campaigns in other industries, from smartphones to shampoo.
Roll Credits… Or Do They?
Production starts next month, and viewers should prepare for ads that mix hunger with existential reflection. As insiders say, expect “meals you can’t unsee… or uneat.” Stay tuned for more updates on this uniquely surreal experiment in marketing.
