The ad, which premiered during last night's NFL playoff games, is different than the usual smiley face-laden messages pumped out by the chain. Hence the reason why blogs such as The Hollywood Reporter and Buzzfeed are taking notice, and why the video has been posted several times to YouTube, garnering scores of views.

Personally, I don't find the video all that funny or entertaining. The sympathy pain I felt when Papa Clown stepped on that unicorn was perhaps my strongest reaction to the following clip. Take a look and let us know what you think in the comments. Does this vid deserve to go viral, instilling Clown-a-phobia in all who see it? You decide.
