Plus, there ain’t nothin’ wrong with driving a minivan<\/h2>

<\/iframe><\/p>

It’s always an accomplishment when marketing teams are able to fit in so much stupid in just around 30 seconds, but this new commercial for Venom<\/em> and ESPN might just take the proverbial cake. Depicting ESPN personalities Charles Woodson and Randy Moss recruiting Eddie Brock (a green-screened Tom Hardy) as a potential Oakland Raiders mascot, there isn’t a second of sanity in this advertisement.<\/span><\/p>

Why did these ESPN dudes pull this disheveled dude to be a new mascot? Judging from their absolutely terrified reactions, they had no clue that Tom Hardy was about to transform into a freak of nature that looks like its made out of tainted Silly Putty. And what, this awful CGI glob decided to eat these poor sports fans? I guess it’s funny because people are dead. Not even a drop of blood, just a couple of spilled cups of water—and that “yes, yes!” line at the end might be more unsettling than anything else in the video.<\/span><\/p>

I truly have no idea why I spent way more than 30 seconds airing my grievances about a dumb advertisement that was just clearly ESPN having fun. It’s probably because I hate fun. Venom is out on theaters super soon, by the way, on October 5. You can check out the latest trailer, which has a better look at Venom’s tongue, right here<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":729,"featured_media":237947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1,198,181],"tags":[1511,361,1161,559],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":729,"display_name":"Chris
