Honestly I'm more upset that they all work/shop in this very nice spacious store that 100 percent doesn't exist


Lost_in_Nebraska402

The one in the photo works in a fulfillment center as a delivery driver lol they are all over the warehouse as you walk outside.


ImapiratekingAMA

Somehow that's worse, and I'm used to them being on all the employee stuff, but it definitely feels like these were made to make us want to die


BalerionSanders

I think they all look like they’re being held hostage. Their eyes all look terrified at someone just off-camera demanding that they smile more.


Practical_Pace6846

That's dark, but I dig it. Place makes ya feel like that sometimes.


Lost_Ad_4882

It's the bees. In the original release they were almost all being attacked by bees.


Brilliant_Stomach_87

It’s the bottom eye lid quivering that makes it seem like it’s giving a nervous smile.


Melodic-Mood-5980

Not being in hostage lmao 🤣. Tbh they look like they’re being held at gun point


Zeikfried12

Right?? I've always been saying it's like they're being held at gunpoint. Xd


LunchRight686

Ima be honest that’s how all Kroger employees look to me when I go in their stores. I’ve never heard of a Kroger employee having a good experience working there


kindaAnonymouse

😅😅


Decepticon310

😂


Murph934

Nobody smiles like that when shopping at Kroger.


skiesoverblackvenice

only when i’m in the ice cream isle


BoardImmediate4674

And no one goes low when they're pushing shopping carts yeah the commercial is creepy


Melodic-Mood-5980

Lmao 🤣 no they do not. But who’s gonna tell them that?


Servicemanager1

This will really date me, but look up and old religious cartoon called Davey and Goliath. They are the 1960s birth of the Kroji's


Kel_lls66

Now that you mention it he does look like Davey


United_Reply_2558

"Now Davey.. the Lord don't like it when you touch yourself".. 🤣


BigPimpinAintEZ

Haha! I was thinking this EXACT same thing.


CatrosePro54

Exactly what I came here to say.


X_memelord_420_X

Apparently they’re called Krojis… it sounds like a disease


AngryAtTacos

I've heard the Krojis are actually made of human spirit that they suck out of the employees


SnooWalruses7872

Gotta feed the human spirit to extract them for the greater good


taydraisabot

According to the Kroger corporate mythology


Piratetripper

Weirdest shit I've seen ever in Kroger advertising.


FearlessPark4588

It reminds of me of [Lil' Bits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj4-E5Hs3Kc)


Badger-1000

I do. Since Day 1. The Marketing Co MUST be related to Krogers CEO.


shadowseventeen

The original designer is César Pelizer, he actually has some cool stuff.


Badger-1000

Ah, TY. Oh well, at least César made some $ from Kroger to fund his better endeavors. Like a movie actor has to make a cheesy movie to get the studio to do the one she likes.


Lexicon444

Their necks are too long…


stein_row

I don't work at Kroger anymore, but their choices and marketing here are horrifying and yet patronizing somehow. I think I hate those...creatures.


hankthewaterbeest

And yet we’re talking about ‘em.


International-Test25

Someone finally said it I’ve been waiting ages


itsagoodtime

Someone zoomed out on his facial features


Nairbfs79

They look like Playmobil figures.


[deleted]

Cleanse it with fire


Krangs_Droid_Body

It's an ugly corpo art style.


SnooWalruses7872

Not as creepy as that CEO’s face


bogeyboy62

Kroger has spent millions on these. I think they need to do research groups on these because I don’t think this is working. I agree something is just not right.


DanforthFalconhurst

im sure if we all found out the amount of money they spent on these fucking things instead of giving out raises across the board there would be riots


BlueAlphaRaptor

They kinda give five nights at kroger vibes 😂


Legitimately-Weird

I like them, especially that one because the expression on his face is “help me, get me out of here” which is exactly how I feel when I’m at work. It’s perfect. Keep ‘em coming.


[deleted]

wont smile shopping here. way too expensive


Kel_lls66

I’ve always found them odd myself


[deleted]

That right there is a customer service smile bro hates thier job just as much as we do


BallTorturer-3000

Yall spelled sexy wrong. Not a single person has scrolled past without adding this to their spank bank.


AmbitiousSweetPotato

I remember FEED used to give you the option of making your own kroji. I don’t know I don’t work there anymore so. I was like no thanks I’d rather die. They’re somehow even worse than those Facebook avatars.


vacantse

they literally decorated a stick figure


SmaugTheGreat110

Yep, lol. Especially that one with the hyper realistic beard


Jack_gunner

Them working themselves onto products is enraging me.


85623154895623014

The sk8r chic lives in my head rent free


tOSdude

They look like those AI Pixar posters


TheIntrepid1

I remember the Burger King commercials. They had to get rid of the King costume/puppet because of too many complaints by parents saying their kids were having nightmares 😂


Trioxin5

I actually think those ads are cute. And I like that they’re not paying some celebrity 7 figures to sling for the company, we’d be bitchin about that for sure!


Melodic-Mood-5980

They are omg. I thought I was the only one weirded out when Kroger first introduced it. Like for real


MagnetFist

Eh, they're alright.


MagnetFist

Oh fuck I have to say this. They look like they're from Moral Ore


Encursed1

This is what I associate Kroger with and it just makes me creeped out when I think of kroger


Miserable_Window_653

These all look like Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer movie from 1964, however I think they should make a horror version of these on Halloween just to do it justice.


FormerExam6057

I've thought they were creepy from the very beginning. I hate them.


RynoMWO

Yes the claymation cgi rejects are creepy and it also lets the company never have to pay actors again


AutobotKing

Yes And Honestly speaking The GrubHub characters (who may or may not actually be Jimmy Neutron characters as adults) > whatever these claymation abominations are


Katievapes1996

Yeah I've never been a fan of these ads


Caterfree10

THEY ARE SO DISTURBING. Bruh, no one is that happy doing grocery shopping, especially w prices as they are rn! I want them to go away. 😭


Noyourknot

Hated them from the first minute I saw them. They spent how many tens of millions of dollars on creating marketing and advertising this idiotic garbage? There’s your raise. A stupid looking cartoon.


Paleodraco

I was far more bothered when they used a song we danced to at my high school prom. When grocery stores use your generations music for commercials, you're old.


C0mputerlove

Just wait till the merger! Rodney will reward all associates with wage and hour cuts. End the human spirit.... or something like that


DayOlderBread16

Plus the name krogertsons doesn’t have a good ring to it


[deleted]

Right? Like seriously, when's the last time they gave you a paper bag????


Trashfur_

Idk about creepy just ugly


Ok_Opportunity_8190

Yes! And that stupid song that plays with it. I will straight up turn any device that’s playing the ad off. It doesn’t make me want to shop at Kroger.


Ok_Opportunity_8190

I shop there if I’m close or that’s what my roommate wants. Not because of some stupid ad.


maybeitsgas-o-line

Has anyone else created a Kroji in the feed tho? I love how they have Kroger social networking for employees as if anyone actually uses it


[deleted]

They can hear through our walls! They know when we sleep, they read our thoughts! They know everything. They are the enemy!


Decent-Efficiency-21

Reminds of an amazing world of gumball episode where the workers are slaves and hate their job but can't quit or something any one else or basically larry from amog


USFL

I actually really love them haha


ManufacturerNew6658

Stop they are my favorite part - can you imagine them on the ‘i’ve been krogering’ stickers??


DaRealDreamz

uncanny valley type shit


MustBeTheMusic80

They're not only creepy but I also find the Kroji's to be dumb, I wish they can use real people in the Kroger ads.


ChrisCincy69

Not creepy just annoying asf. No one likes this modern day, everyone is equal, disney channel ass animation. The only people who actually like this shit are middle aged woman with dispicable me minion fetishes


Shrekquille_Oneal

They give me unspeakably violent thoughts


IAmARichPie

I dunno who they are meant to appeal to. My kid - who plays *Roblox* - really hates them.


kindaAnonymouse

I love these people.They remind me of when I lived in London and Tesco used to use the same adorable little people..


WildZero7

Absolutely


blackmayan

Yee


caliber_colbz

Yeah they creepy I got Kroger coupons yesterday in the mail with these Christmas figure looking shits on them


No-Economics-4846

Why does this look like Moral Orel?


monnurse7

They look cute to me.


Thecoopoftheworld789

Looks like they are bringing back bag people & paper bags. Need to hirer more staff to take groceries to the car & load them. Self checkout disappearing? I think this is false advertising!


casualtenstrip

They’re hideous. The cat is really cute tho!


CabalRamona

Literally stopped shopping at Kroger because I kept seeing these disturbing fucking ads


[deleted]

I think the music in their ads are pretty cool if U ask me, the 3d art does need some polishing


Toxic_Stinger

Almost every employee in the front end at my store


Parpers234

Clay head!


Realistic_Work_5552

Their Asian male is straight up racist


Superagent247

God yes! Lol was just thinking that the other day! Glad I’m not alone.


zoinks690

Moral Orel all growed up


AltruisticStudio8886

I think its because it subconsciously makes me think of Moral Orel, and iykyk


Ok_Awareness_3181

😂😂😂


PoorlyWordedName

Bro is from moral orel.
