A Super Bowl Doritos ad featuring a woman who goes into premature labor when the father teases his unborn child with nacho chips has drawn both outrage and applause on social media.
On Super Bowl Sunday -- the biggest advertising day of the year in the US -- marketing giants pulled out every trick in the trade, enlisting celebrity power to peddle their brands and creating strange and wacky storylines to try and retain viewers' attention.
But while most ads garnered a chuckle at most, it was a Doritos commercial titled "Ultrasound" that had the internet freaking out, with some viewers calling the ad offensive and inappropriate, and others laughing at the outlandish humor.
In the ad, a pregnant woman is getting a routine ultrasound while her disinterested husband noshes on Doritos chips. The ultrasound monitor shows the baby reaching for the nacho until the mom throws it across the room, prompting it to initiate an early evacuation from the womb.
According to Twitter, it was the best and worst ad during Super Bowl 2016, with both viewers and celebrities weighing in.
"That Doritos ad was chilling," tweeted comedian Mindy Kaling.
Speaking on behalf of its fans, actor Dwayne Johnson disagreed, tweeting "That Doritos baby ultrasound commercial could win best commercial #SB50."

There was an ad for some website that totally didn’t tell us anything about what the website was. Some stupid hip hop people singing or something and a totally forgettable name because they showed it like once at the end.
Dear Abortion Lovers: Yes, it’s true. After 5 weeks, a fetus has a beating heart (documented by ultrasound). Early in the 2nd trimester, you can see limbs, head, body (documented by ultrasound). Just because you choose to ignore it doesn’t mean a fetus is a human (documented by ultrasound).
I laughed MAO!
So that was several million dollars of advertising money well spent, wasn't it?
Hope someone at that webite has his resume up to date.
Questions...
Will the feminazis now demand a boycott of doritos?
Will Doritos apologize?
My favorite.... Doritos OB
Soooooo disappointed in Budweiser. Was looking forward to Clydesdales and puppys.
The dog/monkey/baby.... creepy. Not even well made IMO.
Visited Cali fore 10 days back in the 80s. Flew in to San Fran and spent the time in the Sacramento/ Roseville area and spent a day in Napa. Beautiful state. Some of the people in San Fran however............. I’ll stick to the Southeast US. : ^ )
“”That Doritos ad was chilling,” tweeted comedian Mindy Kaling.”
The only thing concerning about the ad would be having to catch the placenta with catcher’s mitt.
No comment is possible about this. Nukes from orbit are possible, but no comments.
Sheep are naturally inclined to sing Bee Gees.
Are these the same people who call their dogs and cats "fur babies"?
