Crisis Averted

This entertaining spoof from Kit Kat demonstrates that sometimes, even people in the most high-powered positions need a break. Imminent annihilation may not be enough to make this general sweat... but a badly-timed call from mum is enough to push even the coolest heads to the brink.

The production design here is strong, and director Rodrigo Saavedra uses well timed rapid close-ups and quick cuts to ensure the parody feels spot on. Alien invasion or not, a chocolate fix is bound to encourage a more positive outlook on life... and even make nagging parents more tolerable in a crisis.
