There's a TV version of this commercials where the M&Ms, instead of being mad at the audience member for interrupting the movie with their cell phone, they're mad at the narrator for nonchalantly mentioning the movie they're starring in isn't even real! except it turns out to be yet another "turn your cell phone off" ad.
