What Does that Snickers Commercial Mean?

Have you seen the Snickers commercial with the man playing guitar and singing a funny jingle while another man enjoys a Snickers at his desk?  It's been around for about a year now, and lately I've been seeing it constantly.  In fact, I can't even count the number of times I've seen this commercial.  However, aside from the fact the tune is catchy, I still have no idea what this commercial means.snickers%20Mars.jpg

In case you haven't seen it, here it is:

I guess it's working in some way because I remember it and I'm talking about it.  I'm still baffled by the message though.  Do you know what it means?  What is it telling us about the Snickers brand?  Does it make you want to buy a Snickers.  Honestly, I'd buy a Snickers without this commercial, so I can't say whether or not it motivates me to make a purchase.  What do you think?  Is this commercial effective?

i change the channel whenever this comes on. i have boycotted snickers because of this obnoxious and annoying song. "D

I had the same kind of reaction. Some people can see a commercial and go "Oh it's just a commercial," but those of us who have studied mass media, marketing or PR cannot look at anything without examining the message can we? I did notice one thing though, the song was describing how delicious Snickers are. I figured the commercial was supposed to be campy...I could be wrong though, maybe it was just a poorly developed message.

Yes, "campy" is the perfect word to describe this commercial! Thanks, Kimberlee.
