The Tasmanian Devil versus Pinhead

Behold. I recently stumbled upon a huge cache of bizarre short videos, all of which appear to be titled in Russian(?), and all of which are violent battles between famous fictional characters. The above has to be seen to be believed. Also of interest are: Ninja versus Knight, Batman versus Dracula, and Jigsaw versus Sherlock Holmes. Some further investigation makes it seem like they are ads for a cracker? WAT.
