Mystery rookie team Robot reveal

EDIT: After posting this, it was pointed out to me that this was an Oreo produced 'viral' ad. Having first seen it as an embedded YouTube video, I had not realized that. I apologize for unknowingly 'tricking' people into watching an ad. Now you know, so click on it if you wish.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with Oreo.

Kind of funny, but also, you know, a straight up ad for Oreo. I'd be less annoyed with you advertising for Oreo if your post said something like "Check out this cool Oreo handling robot! It's like mini-frisbees!" or something. As opposed to tricking me into watching an Oreo ad.

Agreed, but it was better than Rick Astley, which is what I was expecting.

Sorry I annoyed you...

I didn't see it as an ad for Oreo at all... No more than the 2013 game is an ad for Frisbee. An Oreo ad would have given equal play to the cookie vs. creme lovers. The guy made a Rube Goldberg contraption to solve a problem that happened to involve a well known item. It was more about the contraption than the cookie...

It's professionally produced and posted on the Oreo Channel. It wouldn't surprise me if they commissioned this machine in some fashion. It's so very much an ad.

Meh... I enjoyed it, thanks for posting!

Anyone who uses an axe wielding robot to split apart their oreo and has a mustache like that is cool in my book. However, the creme is still the best part of an Oreo...

You are correct. I originally saw it as an embedded video on FB, so I didn't see any of the Oreo context (other than what's in the video itself.) When I posted it here, I shortened the URL to just the raw YouTube link which made it a lot more obvious.

Disclaimer: I have no interest in Oreo cookies.
