Nothing wigs me out quicker than a creepy kid.
It’s even worse when an advertising agency thinks that what they consider a darling cherub but I see as an evil devil spawn is fawning over their product in a commercial or ad.
Is it just me or does that kid at the top look like she’s salivating over a raw hamburger sandwich? Yes, I know it’s strawberry jam or something, but I can’t help but imagine it as ground up flesh.
And the one below certainly has a sinister vibe if you ask me. The glow of campfire flames casting a red hellish hue over everything. If you listen closely I think you can hear him moaning, “Brains, brains.”
With her gigantic eyes glazed over, the little girl below looks like she can’t wait to dig into what appears to be human hearts on her plate.
Plan 59 has more pics of retro weird, saucer-eyed kids and the food they crave.
And maybe the weirdest kid of all time was Vickie the Robot from the Small Wonder television show.
Yes, I know it wasn’t an advertisement, but this little girl is about as spine-chillingly freaky as they get. Maybe the weirdest thing about the show is that it stayed on the air for 4 seasons.
Enjoy.
