Beer companies have been using regular women to sell their product for a while, but when they get into robotic women, that's when we start to pay attention. Thanks Ray!

This commercial has been creeping me out for days now.
Jason Chen, you know this is an ad with a computer generated robot, not a real robot....
right?
@Spaceboy: um, no. It's a real life actress with a bunch of CG. A full CG robot = $$$$.
What always bothered me about this ad is that it just says you need four arms or a robot to use this thing.
BTW, didn't some guy already make a life size BENDER robot that brews beer?
Another vote for creepy...
seriously, I'll take the beer, and you can have the robo/chick. Reminds me of that gawd-awful thing in The Grudge.
ewwwwwww...
Dear God, rid me of this Ghost in the Shell porn once and for all!
It'd be interesting to see a picture of the model as she normally looks.
saw it saturday with the gf ... it got a big ol wtf outa us
I like the robot. What creeped me out was the fact that there were two more inside her. Also the whole idea of the beer inside her... That's just bad planning on the part of the human race. You can't have the robots control the beer! we'd be doomed!!1one1
I must agree: this commercial is all over TV and it seriously creeps me right out.
I have no idea what they're getting at with it... and I wish they would stop.
SUPER.CREEPY
@Spaceboy: Yes.
It's gonna get rave reviews in japan. Not enough tentacles though.
Got milk!
it might be a recycling robot, piss for beer.
I think i'll stick to real women. I like technology and gadgets but that's just too much.
This commercial always reminds me of the intel multiply commercials for some reason...
SCAREY!
Another vote for creepy. I think it is the murderously cold and un-moving facial expression that does it.
That's creepy...
No... it's hot.
No, creepy.
GAH!
Final answer, creepy.
I kind of like the music in the ad, I don't know why.
I'll vote creepy too. Very, very creepy.
I think they were hoping to get across how easy and convenient it is to use their draught keg, but the four arms on the robot kind of defeats the point.
creepalicious...up there in terms of creepy, right under the ps3 one...
is it possible the brains behind this commercial are the same ones behind those Svedka vodka ads featuring the fembot....?
drink the heineken keg can, the cheap tap makes your beer stale and it takes three fembots with four arms each to operate.
this speaks to me.
it's telling me that marketers are still idiots.
So...thirsty.
>?<
Seriously creepy, but how Teutonic in a post-expressionism kinda way.
P.S. I know Heineken is actually Dutch but it's got a definite Metropolis vibe.
@ WJOUSTS
Try a table, then you won't have to have four arms.
Nosexy. You want sexy robots, check out Hajime Sorayama. This thing is about as sexy as Heineken's skunky beer.
My robot pisses Guinness. It has to sit in the glass for a while because it comes out too foamy.
They had me at personal draught keg.
I never really liked Heineken, but it has a nice flavor out of those overpriced balls of goodness. My roomates and I had a wall constructed of these little empty mini kegs. But that was before the liver transplant.
But yeah, CG robotic woman? Perfect maketing spot for their target audience. Now if it was a commercial for Stella, you'd need a commercial with a bit more pretention.
This is a lot like the I, Robot-like woman that's used on billboards to sell Vodka. Strangely enough, she's sexier than the eroticized Small Wonder Jerky doll that gives birth to a keg.
I'd TAP that.
;-D
@cmoody17: Ba dum *crash*
I like the way she looks. There have been way weirder things in commercials; I don't see why she's so creepy. Yes, a bit odd two more come out of her, but she herself looks very nice.
the robot is kinda hot in that "pasty skinned, no eyebrow, Tilda Swinton-like" hotness level, yah know?
About 5 or 6 years ago for a sci-fi con i made a Bender costume (all metal) and strapped one of those mini kegs to me so I could serve beer. My spine still hurts.
What... The.... Fuck..
I've seen this a few times now. While the visuals make for a nice wtf, I absolutely love the techno songs that plays over it (and for the radio commercial). I would happily download it if I knew where I could.
Green background and cyborg lady... that theme seems very familiar. Can anyone say Borg?
Worst/creepiest beer ad ... ever!
I think this ad rocks, as in robot rock, as in daft punk, as in technologic....
Isn't anyone going to point out that she has a beer gut?
-V
Who would wanna drink beer after seeing this ad?
These DraughtKegs are OK for small parties, otherwise they are a pain in the rear, cause if you don't drink it all, you have this giant thing in your fridge taking up space with 18 ounces of beer left in it. But not a problem if the only other thing in there is ketchup and week old pizza.
I think she is hot..the perfect woman, dispenses beer, Does she speak?? Hopefully not, but then she can duplicate into 3? That's awesome! Threesomes any one? As cmoody17 says...I'd tap that too..
I have to agree with the most recent comments - Robochick is sexy as hell. But I could just imagine the first time sleeping together: "GAAAHHHH! Other arms!! Use the other arms!!"
