When I hear the name “Danes“, the first thing that comes to mind is Danes Cheese’s hilarious set of ads created by GIGIL Philippines that made me want to immediately buy a box of cheese back in 2020. After all, only a fun brand that truly understands its market would take a leap of faith to try unconventional types of content! Following the viral videos that they have produced in the past two years, Danes Cheese recently released a slasher (or should we say slicer?) short film featuring yet another cheese variant. As expected, the comments section of their post is a treasure trove of KESObrang witty remarks from Pinoy fans.

As of this writing, the short film has already amassed over 4.3 million views and 282 comments that are at par with Danes Cheese’s level of wittiness. Some of our favorites include “Cheese-sus Christ, that was scary”, “The Texas Cheesaw Massacre”, and “From ‘The Shining’ to ‘The Slicing”.

According to our friends from GIGIL, the ad inspired by classic thrillers such as ‘Psycho’ and ‘The Shining’, is Danes Cheese’s way of communicating the benefits of using Danes Cheese Slices–their new and improved 22-slice cheese packs that are recommended to be used in burgers and sandwiches. Metro Manila residents can make a purchase online via CDO Home Delivery’s Facebook Messenger.

Do you think it’s a good ad? For me, as long as they get the message across and hit as much possible consumers through their effortlessly funny videos without offending anyone, it’s a win! Even as I ask myself: “What the heck did I just watch?”, I know that I’d be grabbing those Danes Cheese boxes on my next grocery run.

Can’t wait to see what’s next for Danes Cheese! I’m betting on a gore-y Final Danes-tination with cheese logs falling off a truck! LOL
