# Extreme Zombie Grannies Hilarious Zonajobs Commercial Shows Tough Grandma Being Repeatedly Killed By Kevin Young | Published 2012-04-30 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zonajobs References: [creativecriminals](http://creativecriminals.com/tvcinemafilm/zonajobs-let-grandma-rest-in-peace/) & [zonajobs](http://www.zonajobs.com/) Zonajobs, an organization that helps people looking for jobs, created a comical commercial that shows a granny repeatedly killed in extreme scenarios. Zonajobs humorously created this video that's filled with extreme hyperbole, showing a dead grandma coming back to life over and over again after death-defying accidents. She dies naturally at first and then rises from the grave only to be struck by a bus again. The zombie grandma innocently dies from a falling piano, an explosion and a robber that shoots her Al Pacino style. The end of the commercial reveals a young man who's making an effort to not attend interviews for unwanted jobs, using his grandma as an excuse for his absence. This hilarious Zonajobs commercial is a great advertisement that reels people in with humor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Comedic Advertising:** Opportunity for businesses to create humorous advertisements that attract attention and engage viewers. - **Extreme Hyperbole:** Potential for brands to utilize exaggerated scenarios to convey their message and make a lasting impression on audiences. - **Unconventional Storytelling:** Chance for companies to experiment with unconventional narratives to captivate and entertain their target audience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for advertising agencies to create unconventional and humorous campaigns that leave a lasting impact. - **Entertainment:** Potential for filmmakers and content creators to explore hyperbolic storytelling techniques, pushing the boundaries of humor and entertainment. - **Recruitment and Staffing:** Opportunity for recruitment platforms to incorporate humor into job search campaigns, attracting candidates by showcasing a unique and engaging approach. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convention-Challenging AC Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windfree.md) - [Grandmotherly Lunchmeat Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eat-your-buddig.md) - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Revived 90s Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruithead.md) - [Amusing Work Platform Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monday-platform.md) - [Humorous Mens Fragrance Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axe-campaign.md) - [Vampiric Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love.md) - [Influencer-Inspired Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomcat.md) - [Humorous Macabre Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-office-chair.md)
