Kotaku says this is an Asian commercial for Pringles, and I'm inclined to believe them. Frankly, I can't think of any other explanation for this video that makes any more sense. I mean, it starts with a dude wandering about some abandoned/haunted building straight out of Silent Hill, complete with health gauges and stuff. Then he finds some Pringles, and Lara Croft shows up -- or a reasonable, copyright-infringing facsimile -- and starts shedding weapons and then stripping... as is perfectly normal in these situations. I honestly don't know what the fuck any of it means. All I know is now I want to open up a can of strippers. Damn you, Pringles!

All I ever wanted in life was a chick cool enough to keep a Rubik's Cube in her cleavage. This just proves to me they're out there and I just have to keep looking.
Jeff replied to Dacshiggy:
dacshiggy, you're an idiot.

Just to point it out, that is a Resident Evil 5 style health and ammo set up not Silent Hill.
The little circles in the bottom right corner are right out of the game.
So it is more of a Resident Evil : Pringles, With special guest star Lara Croft
Boyle replied to Arsenal:
Yeah, but it's got Silent Hill's really annoying tendency to have nearly every single door in the game be jammed:
"The lock is jammed. You can't open it."
"The lock is jammed. You can't open it."
"The lock is jammed. You can't open it."
"The lock is jammed. You can't open it."
"The lock is jammed. You can't open it."
They might as well just hit you on the head and say "go this way idiot."
Incidentally, women who carry rubik's cubes in their bra are hot.
The Admiral replied to Boyle:
I was just thinking that you know this is Silent Hill BECAUSE NONE OF THE DAMNED DOORS OPEN!!!
Enigma_2099 replied to The Admiral:
And the REALLY SILLY thing being? How many of these locks would stand up to a gunshot?
jeffers replied to Arsenal:
It also appears to have the health and stamina bars from Metal Gear Solid in the top left hand corner (how many health bars can one man have?)

How come that never happens to me when I open up a can of Pringles. Once again commercials have failed me...
ZeroCorpse said:
Actually, I'd say that's a white version of Sheva Alomar (or maybe Jill Valentine) from Resident Evil/Biohazard, not Lara Croft.

Lara wears an entirely different rig.

Everything should end this way. Everything.

I shall hence forth refer to the woman in question as Pyramid-tan. Mainly because the thought because the thought makes me laugh. Partially because the video was well enough done that I had actually forgot about what Rob had typed below was totally expecting Pyramid Head to pop out.
All of that said: Pyramid-tan is freaking hot.

Little known fact: Empty (and clean) Pringles cans make great holders for your spare Fleshlights.
ZeroCorpse replied to RobP:
Spare?

You keep spares?

Why the hell was Nathan Drake running around Silent Hill in a building full of locked doors and magically summons a R.E. chick with the power of pringles...?
Asian commercials ftw.

Get to the crunch? Crunch as in slang for female genitalia? I guess now I understand this commercial... I guess.
Zach Miller said:
Don't know who that girl was supposed to be (my guess is Legend-era Lara because of the twin pistols and grenade), but I'm pretty sure that none of the candidates are quite that flat.
demoncat said:
seeing that proves that even pringles can be used in a sexual nature. and the guy had a gun he could have just shot the lock open . not to mention how did that laura want to be get all that stuff in her shirt.

Must buy Pringles.

So i'm not the only one to notice the music being a rip off of "boys boys boys" by lady gaga, right?.....right? *cries alone*
The Shadow said:
I don't know if this is Asian, but it's not Japanese. They call Pringle's Chip-Star over there because...well...have you ever heard a Japanese person try to PRONOUNCE "Pringle's"?
Baltimoron replied to The Shadow:
"Puringuru?"

Wait,what?

Sweet! :D

I know sex sells, but I get really confused when they use sex to sell Pringles. PRINGLES.
Dog said:
@Joshua.
No, I noticed it too! I was going to point it out but thought no one would know what I'm talking about.
"hey there sugar baby saw you twice and the pop show..."
DoctorSmashy said:
This was twenty times better than the Silent Hill movie and all they had to was add one Rubik's Cube and one cleavage to store it in.

Feeding strippers is almost like feeding a stray dog. It will take a long time to get rid of her.
Why would you want a can of strippers? Have you been to a strip club? I have. It was the first and last time I ever went. A stripper followed me around for a week. She was a menace! She hit on my gay cousin. He turned her down, and she started clicking at him because he's from South Africa. She always knew when I was trying to score with a guy. That vulture would swoop in and try take him for herself.
TberK replied to TberK:
Uh, did anyone notice all the shit she dropped? Why did she have blow dryer and a fly swatter?
Hank replied to TberK:
The dryer may be a reference to Silent Hill 3 (you kill a pseudo-boss with it) (yeah, I'm not kidding). Fly swatter? Not sure. Love the not-so-subtle jab at the infinite pocket space in video games.
