Another Tasteless Commercial? Or a Good Joke?

I just saw this commercial on television...since it was posted on Youtube five months ago, I feel behind the times.




When I googled it to find the video, I expected to see some protests. Sure enough, quickly found men complaining that they couldn't make the commercial about a clumsy woman. Funny, I thought the first protest would be about death or possibly the woman being a heartless gold digger. If guys like the three stooges, this one should be right up our alley.

Anyone remember the controversial commercial with the bungee jumpers and the Adidas Pump shoe? Or one that I enjoyed was the Suzy (Favor) Hamilton commercial with the homicidal chainsaw killer? Which are good humor and which make you want to boycott someone?

I didn't know the other commercials you mentioned, so I googled them:

why sport? suzy favor hamilton nike ad.

Reebok Pump Bungee Jumping Commercial.

When I first saw the clumsy husband commercial in your blog, I thought, "That's cold." I thought that the ending of the Nike commercial, where the homicidal maniac runs out of breath, was funny, but I don't think slasher movies are, so I'm divided on that one. The bungee jumping one made me laugh.

I thought they were all pretty clever. I love a good commercial. Have you ever watched those top ten foreign commercial shows? Some of those from outside the U.S. are way over the top. We are way more prudish here.

The concept of most commercials are clever,funny,or cute.
However, I have a problem with the way they only depict my demographic as a boorish,clumsy,inept, (insert whatever other demeaning term here} moron, who can't seem to make a decision without consulting his wife or significant other.

kk those shows are hillarious.
