Yao Ming Hungers, Earthling

WA!

I’m not sure I have a favorite part of this Chinese ad for Mini Oreos. I’ve narrowed it down to three things:

1. Yao Ming needing a moment to process the fact that a child has tricked him, then mumble-laughing about it.

2. The idea that Yao could probably throw that kid in the air and eat him like a Mini Oreo.

3. The weird sexual tension at the end. I think it’s the music.

Seriously though, why are you cradling his head like that? Is Ming so tall and awkward that the only way he can hear and talk to you is by wrapping his tendrils around you and getting right in your face? His hand scooping up from the background like that makes the kid’s head look like something from Star Wars.
