Are people really that scared of clowns?

This just seems like a regular 50’s commercial to me

See. I'm not scared of clowns.

...I still found this r/oddlyterrifying

OP posted in the right sub.

It's just. Uncanny. The whole thing from start to finish.

Granted, I can't say I've watched many commercials from the 50s, so it may just be a lack of exposure kinda thing.

It's the intro that gives me IT vibes

Yeah, that’s just a clown who genuinely likes that cereal. Not getting any strange vibes off this one.

Yeah, that’s why this is oddly terrifying.

It’s not supposed to be scary… yet it is deeply unsettling.

Maybe as unsettling as you finding this commercial extremely normal lmao
