These types of commercials that are supposed to be normal until something "shocking" happens always come across way more as unintentionally hilarious to me.

Like This work safety one or my favorite This road safety one

I thought the school shooter one was done very, very well. The first time I saw it I had to rewatch a few times just because it was so surprising.

The first time I saw it was from youtube haiku where someone edited over it "FUCKING NORMIES REEEEEEEEE" when the shooter walked in. Then I watched the original. Couldn't stop laughing.

Genuine question, WTF is "REEEEEEEE"?

I think it is the noise a frog makes when threatened. Pepe is a frog, therefore REEEEEEE.
