Faint is a 2-part commercial where Red and Yellow find Santa when they both suddenly realize each exist and Red and Santa faint in shock. Secretly, Yellow decides he has to save Christmas for Santa. Unfortunately, he delivers the presents to the wrong people, but the people with the wrong presents deliver them to the right ones. After waking up, Red assures Yellow that he made Christmas even better.
In the sequel commercial, Yellow, realizing that Santas out of commission right now, takes it upon himself to complete Santas present deliveries for him. Taking control of Santas sleigh, Yellow haphazardly tosses gift boxes to all the houses as quickly as he can. Eventually, Santas elves back at North Pole mission control notice the “nut” in Santas sleigh and send a phone call to Santa. As Santa and Red wake up, Santa is informed by his elves that the presents are going to the wrong people. We then see various kids confused when they open up their presents or find them in their yards. The people then all go out in the streets as Yellow, having arrived back at the house he and Red were in, is up on the rooftop with Red and Santa, who asks Yellow what hes done. Yellow timidly asks “Did I ruin Christmas, Red?” However, seeing all the people coming together as they exchange their gifts, Red answers, “Actually, buddy, I think you made it even better.”
On Christmas Eve, Red and Yellow are walking out to a living room to leave a bowl of M&Ms candies to Santa Claus. Yellow asks Red if he thinks Santa will like them, to which Red responds by saying he doesnt know, as hes never met Santa before. Immediately upon turning around, they see Santa Claus coming down from the chimney, and Red immediately pass out proclaiming, “He does exist!” Santa, apparently overwhelmed by the appearance of talking candy, also passes out, exclaiming, “They do exist!”
