[Oasis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venting-machine) has launched a new [Godzilla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c4-ultimate-energy-x-godzilla)-inspired commercial with a twist. The commercial features RubberDuckZilla, a powerful attack duck.

The RubberDuckZilla commercial shows the duck attacking when parents tell their kids to drink water. Considering Oasis is described as the drink for those who don't like water, maybe a giant attack duck is the best defense.

Either way, the RubberDuckZilla commercial for Oasis is a hilarious take on Godzilla. Check it out here.
