Disturbing adverts

I saw the latest Oasis advert the other day and it really disturbed me. Im not a big fan of clowns anyway, but this advert has stayed with me. I guess that means the advert has been successful in a way. Overall though I really wont be drinking any Oasis before bedtime.

Try and think of some disturbing adverts that still make you kringe. I can still remember a really weird Playstation tv advertisement with a girl with a odd shaped head with eerie music in the background, remember that one?

I wonder if a good idea would be to scare the target audience into hating the advert and trying not to think about it. This is another effective way to imprint a brand / product into an individuals head. Furthermore causing a ripple effect as they ask who else has seen it.
Strangely I still watch the Oasis advert and don't turn over, and I wonder if it disturbs other people too.
