"Because Crocs"

A woman plays a strange game of Hot and Cold in this ad for Australian retailer Catch. When she arrives home, she's greeted by twenty-four men and women in crocs—as good an excuse as any to call the police, you might think. Yet all the gang want to do is help in a roundabout way.

Like a choir crossed with a thermometer, the group direct the protagonist from her driveway to the front door. When she reaches her goal—a package hidden behind a plant pot—she gets a hearty "BOILING!" from her two-dozen supporters who all love her new footwear.

The cast's cheery yet creepy manner is spot-on, as are the protagonist's penny-drop facial expressions as the game continues. Part of you fears for her safety at the end, but some online bargains are worth the risk.
