I would ban none of them. They portray their own zeitgeist and I think people can learn not to be offended by everything instead of throwing the ban-hammer to everything we could take as racist.
I think the Peloton one was stupid, who’s to say she didn’t ask for the Peloton for Christmas. Just because you wouldn’t want that for Christmas doesn’t automatically make it offensive. All the ad does is show the the Peloton would make a nice gift for someone who wants it.🙄
Hahaha same! It’s kinda just like the Snickers ad with Betty White! Only the opposite side of the age spectrum! 🤣 My family and I love the bizarre and hilarious ads that come from the Super Bowl. Some people just need to quit bein’ snowflakes about every little thing and grow up. I will admit some ads are inherently racist and/or offensive though. Those I don’t agree with. 😅 But the other minor ones? Who cares ya know?
@@billyblastoff I'm more liable to get mad if an ad features excessively loud shrill noises than I am if it pokes fun at the gays or makes jokes that might be considered in poor taste by some
ikr? & people in the US whinge too much. I don't think there were any complaints about the 2016 Australia Day Lamb Ad when it rescued a vegan so as to remind him how good lamb chops tasted (Australia Day lamb ads are almost always hysterical, people wait for them all year & view online as soon as they are released, not wanting to wait until it officially airs on tv)
#16 -- So "beetloaf" is crossing the line but finding a defendant guilty immediately just because of his looks is apparently a-okay! Had that defendant been black (see #2) you bet THAT would've provoked some outrage!
Truly, I wish I cared more or had PETA levels of free time to be offended by... Anything. These commercials are funny/awful. The fact they made it to the air is a solidarity moment to the level of apathy the green lighters share with me.
@@lucyhurst2534 buying a Peloton for someone and telling someone yo lose weight is 2 VERY different things. Thats the real issue. People nowadays put 2 and 2 together and get 3. And no, i didnt buy my ex anything because ive been with the same woman since highschool 13 years ago.
None of these are offensive. I'm a gay man and not especially "manly" but I found that snickers ad hilarious. And I'm pretty sure they weren't even making fun of that, they were making fun of toxic masculinity with how the two dudes were doing increasingly ridiculous things to prove they were still "men"
I’m at the more masculine end of the spectrum of gay but I thought the same I remember the snickers advertising as kids and I never thought it was bad then just silly imo thought it was funny
I was a child when I saw this (not even gay) and I saw it as those two overly masculine man completely misunderstanding that being gay and being masculine are not being one of the other. The joke was entirely on these hetero men.
Totally agree. I wish all the “Tate-followers” of the world would realize, that all that toxic masculinity, in the end, just makes them look stupidly ridiculous. And also, that a man who is comfortable with his sexuality doesn’t give two fks about what another person might think about them, because they’re comfortable with who they are and who they’re attracted to. 🙄 Eye, freakin’, roll man.

@@Leto85actually, I thought it was widely viewed in the opposite way?? As a Millennial myself, I’d always read about how Gen-Zers were more into the whole cancel culture stuff, over every little thing, and us Millennials were the more laid-back about a lot of stuff because we grew up with way less filtered television, and have seen way more of stuff you’d never see today. So a lot of the stuff that wouldn’t fly for most people today, would hardly phase us at all. Well, that’s my opinion on the matter anyways. Hahah and I am just one person so, who knows.
@@billyblastoff O, but it may very well be that wherever you live you had a completely different experience than I did, hence your conclusion in your comment. The thing you said about way less filtered television is true - hack, these commercials are perfectly presenting that - though it is Gen-Z who (what every new generation does) looked at our generation, judged what we did wrong in their eyes, and go another direction.

Life's one big joke anyway I think, so why not laugh a little. Dont ban these commercials. Instead, air them again in 4K for today's snowflake culture who grew too soft to even lift the a ban-hammer.
I've experienced both sides. One where so much political correctness is drummed into today's youth that they look everywhere for it to speak out publicly, whether because of their beliefs or simply to make themselves important (I've seen both) . And another where, because of "celebrity's" and influencer, who puts content over common sense and empathy for others, that they think this behavior is normal or even that such behavior makes them cool. I mean people who still follows the Paul brothers wouldn't even acknowledge controversy when someone hit them over the head with it. But that is just how the current generation could became like that. That behavior is sadly nothing new, can you remember the time people wanted to cancel the teletubbies because they thought that it makes children homosexual because one had a handbag. Ideology, their morality and their environment could direct a opinion to the extreme.
I really liked a lot of these videos including the peloton commercial. The last one, the apple commercial was true and that's why people didn't like it. We hate hearing and seeing reality.
Any controversy over a Super Bowl ad is complete hypocrisy. The game is filled with violence, sex, and lakes of alcohol flowing through the stadium marketing and tv airwaves. Yet, it’s a family event.
I think those were the only ones I had a little itsy-bitsy problem with. Dying culture, depleting whale numbers - these aren't small issues! But the transition to the coupons were wildly hilarious and guess what? I'm all for such nonsense!🤣👍🏻
Believe me, those are all issues that I really do care about, but I always interpreted the ads as not so much making fun of those things in and of themselves as they are at vain celebrity attempts to cash in on world problems by pretending that they superficially really care about them.@@Farhan_049
The skittles commercial was disgusting!! 😂😂so.. that cord is going up in her and every time they move her son is attached to her vagina! Who thought this was appropriate? It’s wrong in every way. 😂🤢
Men who freak out about any display of affection between two men, in my eyes anyways, are completely sus bro. I have so much more respect in a dude who can take a compliment from another dude and just let them know “Hey thanks for the compliment man. I don’t swing that way, but I appreciate it bruh!” Than some alpha-male who freaks out to make a big scene and make sure EVERYONE KNOWS that they’re not gay….it’s honestly very telling who’s comfortable in their sexuality and who’s not. Growing up, you know which guys picked on me relentlessly for being gay? The “super-straight giga-chads.” You know which guys would hit on me in the locker room or anywhere where we were alone? Those same “super-straight giga-chads.” 🙄 *sigh* We have a long way to go as a society in de-programming young men from thinking only boys play with trucks, girls play with dolls, only boys wear blue, girls wear pink. Just goes to show you guys who know what their sexuality is and are comfortable in who they are. And shows those who’s masculinity is so fragile, that just the sight of another lgbtq+ couple will shatter their willpower, and they won’t be able to repress those gay feelings anymore. It really goes along with the far-right’s whole “gay propaganda” they push out these days. I seriously hope one of these days soon, we’ll all be able to live and let live. Where we can all just worry about our own selves and not give two fks what the next person does with their life, or who they live that life with. It really is beyond bizarre how far some people go, and how far they stretch and bend the truth to fit their own crazy narrative, that they’ve come up with themselves inside their tiny caveman brain.
Thank goodness I come from an era where most of this wouldn't have even deserved a "meh". It is tragic to live in an era where it is literally impossible to produce another Mel Brooks Masterpiece.
The Qiaobi commercial. As a Chinese American who was raised by traditional Chinese parents I can see both the racist issue that western cultures see but I also understand the non racist point of the commercial. In China having light skin is considered beautiful. The lighter the better. Remember this is a country where everyone generally has the same eye, skin and hair color. Having dark skin means you are in the sun a lot which means you have an outdoor job. Only poor people have jobs outside. Having light skin means you work indoors which means you have a well paying job. Being an American I see the racism but I also understand the message they were trying to convey.
The ones I can see that are wrong would be burger king, mother's day, fly me, popchips, qiaobi detergent, holiday inn, love baby soft, pepsi, sale's genie, groupon, mountain dew, Peloton one, what? Aren't women allowed to want exercise equipment? It's pretty sexist to think they don't. If the gift had been from the wife to the husband there would be no issue, so why is there an issue the other way around? Snickers one is making fun of homophobic people, Skittles is gross but not really controversial Dove is also ok, it's just a random order. Or does it also mean that the white woman is dirtier than the hispanic one? Nationwide is just bringing awareness, what's wrong with it? It won't bring awareness unless it's impactful. Test Baby is just funny as hell, cmon. Apple one was just warning them, most of them do follow apple blindly.
Or "jokes" became "memes". I won't lie, I hate the meme culture. I liked just simple one line jokes and stuff like knock knock jokes that were around long before social media. (I'm a 90's kid, but never even used sites like MySpace; I was the virtual pet site user)
This video is pathetically idiotic. They had to go all the way back to the 70s just to fill out the list. The company that made a apology saying we thought it would be funny, speak truth because no matter what you do someone is always gonna find something wrong with it no matter what. All people see is imperfect messages instead of the true meaning no one can ever say or do what they want. This world is long gone it's so lost everyone is way too sensitive about everything it's truly sad & such a disgrace. 💯
South Africa went ballistic against the Dove ad. We boycotted dove and demanded their products be removed from our shelves. We don’t even care to boycott commercials for their blatantly racist ads but somehow with dove it just hit different. I remember watching it for the first time too and I too was like WTF?
Dove had the bad luck of not starting with the white woman. If they had, then gone to the black woman and THEN the Hispanic woman, I expect some people STILL would have claimed racism. Smdh.
Well think the whole dove thing was not as big as the whole Tressemme / clicks thing. Some people will always complain. And then use it as an excuse to go loot.
People that ACTUALLY try to get a "MESSAGE" from a commercial, are the actual ones at fault here! They are supposed to grab ur attention, check, sometimes be funny, check. But most importantly get people talking about either the commercial and or the product, check and mate!
The "it's just a joke and nobody can take jokes today" crew has a tendency to be completely incapable of admitting the damage they KNOWINGLY cause to the "undesirables" they are "joking" about. Feels like talking to a school bully that, with actual intent to kill, dunked the nerd's head on the toilet, for a mild side look at the corridor, untill almost drowning the nerd, and even has the gaal to tell everyone and the principal that saw it that there is nothing wrong with it because the bully is laughing, therefore, it's just a joke. You come from a completely different world when it comes to "understanding reality, but here on Earth, a racist joke done in jest is still racism.
The 'funny' thing about the lemmings ad by Apple: The music being played is a twisted version of 'Heigh ho, heigh ho' from Disney's Snow White And The Seven Dwarves; in reality Lemmings don't mindlessly jump off cliffs. The widespread belief of this was created when, during the making of a Disney movie, the production staff herded lemmings off a cliff edge for the scene.
I happen to be quite fond of smut, racism and sexism in commercials; after all they are intended to make people remember a product or service being offered.
I wish that you would stop using terms such as homophobia, transphobia, etc. It is clear to me that whoever initially coined those terms has no idea what a phobia really is. Those things being term as phobias are NOT phobias, as a man who suffers from two very real and genuine phobias (acrophobia and claustrophobia), I find that misuse of the term phobia to be extremely offensive. The definition of a phobia, according to the dictionary, is: an extreme or irrational fear or aversion to something. The symptoms of a phobia include: • sweating • abnormal breathing • accelerated heartbeat • trembling • hot flushes or chills • a choking sensation • chest pain or tightness • butterflies in the stomach • pins and needles • dry mouth • confusion or disorientation • nausea • dizziness • headache I am yet to see or know of anyone or see or hear of any documented cases of anyone who is against the idea of homosexuality, transsexuality, etc experiencing any of the above when they are around homosexuals, transsexuals, etc. and it would be safe to say neither have you. I believe that more accurate terms such as anti-homosexual, anti-transsexual, etc would be more appropriate and I would appreciate it if the LGBT community and their supporters would start using those terms instead of the inaccurate terms.
4:03 These were the most successful commercials of all time at the time. I think they’re great, and I don’t think “fly me” is inherently sexual. Maybe my brain is miswired, but I’m nearly 40 and still don’t get it.
That robot committing suicide broke my heart for a second! I don't have a problem with the two guys in the. Snickers being gay. I just think that its weird that they'd be sharing a snickers like that of they weren't. But honestly anyone biting the end of a piece of food hanging out of someone else's mouth is weird and cringy unless they already had an established romantic connection. Like Lady and the Tramp. But even then, like, use your hands like an adult human! The whole thing was weird BEFORE they started pulling their chest hair out!
Ah yes, I recognize Phoebe's condescending tone anywhere. If you If you have the need to be talked down to as if you are an invalid, then pull up one of the many lists that has Phoeve as the narrator.
Hey thats "Big Al" from 'Blood In-Blood Out ' at 8:16 ! Man he's clearly secure in his sexuality, seeing as in that movie he gets killed thinking he's about to get his knob slobbed by the dude that played Ken in the terrible live action Street Fighter movie. "Dame ese chon-chon!!" 😆😆😆
Ahahah right?!? Men who freak out about any display of affection between two men, in my eyes anyways, are completely sus. Growing up you know which guys picked on me relentlessly for being gay? The “super-straight giga-chads.” You know which guys would hit on me in the locker room or anywhere where we were alone? Those same “super-straight” guys. 🙄 *sigh* there’s a lot of work we as a society will have to do in de-programming all these young men from thinking boys play with trucks, girls play with dolls, boys wear blue, girls wear pink. It’s honestly stupid how misogynistic a good majority of society has become.
@@billyblastoff Right on my dude! Cool to hear you learned how to handle and navigate this absurd planet. I think American Beauty displayed that closeted self hatred perfectly in THAT scene. Also, when anyone makes you have to remind them of the reality we actually live in, ask if they ever stopped to wonder if maybe, just MAYBE,homosexuality is actually nature's own form of population control? 🤔🤔🤔
Ads back then were funny and entertaining. But todays society dont like comedy or ads cuz its offends them. Coming from a mexican who the the bk texican ad was funny
I never see, in these lists of outrageous advertisements, the most offensive one I saw once. I think it was on daytime TV (back when I had a kid watching kid shows). It was Summer, just ahead of the 96 Summer Olympics. Toys R Us ran an ad about parents getting medals for buying their kids toys, standing on the podium and looking proud of their accomplishment. Yucky enough, but then there's a shot of a little girl, in admiration of her mother, saying "I love you, Mommy!" BARF! So they thought they could get business by telling parents they could win love by buying their kids lots of Toys R Us toys. - puuuuke.
That doesn’t even sound that offensive. Ahahah it’s just blatantly stating, “hey, if you buy all the toys in the world for your kid, they’ll love you forever!” Which is definitely what they wanted as a toy company, but as a society, isn’t the way someone should raise their kids believing because then they’ve just gotten whatever they want their whole lives, and you end up with an adult-child who probably won’t know how to appreciate anything. In my opinion, that is. And what did you think of the snickers commercial? I found it so stupid that people couldn’t see they were making fun of men’s fragile masculinity in that commercial. Mojo says they took it down for the blatant homophobia? I felt like they’re shooting for our team and were making fun of the alpha males. 🤣
@@billyblastoff I see your point. It didn't hit me that way, though; it seemed homophobic (Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene only Snickers) and why a meeting of mouths? like he could have reached out and wrenched off the end? ah, well. I'd suck at advertising, so I don't have much of a platform to stand on

One where so much political correctness is drummed into today's youth that they look everywhere for it to speak out publicly, whether because of their beliefs or simply to make themselves important (I've seen both) .
And another where, because of "celebrity's" and influencer, who puts content over common sense and empathy for others, that they think this behavior is normal or even that such behavior makes them cool.
I mean people who still follows the Paul brothers wouldn't even acknowledge controversy when someone hit them over the head with it.
But that is just how the current generation could became like that. That behavior is sadly nothing new, can you remember the time people wanted to cancel the teletubbies because they thought that it makes children homosexual because one had a handbag. Ideology, their morality and their environment could direct a opinion to the extreme.
The African Man transformation into Chinese Man Ad is a classic example of cultural sarcasm. I find it as true form of indirect racism.
The Laundry Day one is just wild lol
ikr.... i love it.... it was just representing how powerful the cleaning power of the washing machine is.....
The Pelaton ad? She ASKED for the damn thing, how is it sexist?
That nationwide commercial still messes with me; I am rather irrationally terrified that a tv is going to fall on my toddler.
I really liked a lot of these videos including the peloton commercial. The last one, the apple commercial was true and that's why people didn't like it. We hate hearing and seeing reality.
*lol Didn't realize Mac's mom from IASIP was in that Skittles commercial.*
20:01 I’m watching this with my iPad, and Dwayne Johnson activated my Siri, lol.
That last ad must’ve put nightmare fuel into so many people. Just the whistling is unsettling and seems like it should be in a horror movie.
I remember the Nationwide commerical, it wasn't bad they just realsed during the superbowl which might have been the promble
Meanwhile, there are commercials with half naked women but that’s not offensive apparently
Any controversy over a Super Bowl ad is complete hypocrisy. The game is filled with violence, sex, and lakes of alcohol flowing through the stadium marketing and tv airwaves. Yet, it’s a family event.
Imagine being a sales marketing company and making a bad sales ad 💀
Everyone nowadays gets butthurt and read further into things and get offended, then get more crying generation people to respond.
I will defend those Groupon ads with my life.
I think those were the only ones I had a little itsy-bitsy problem with. Dying culture, depleting whale numbers - these aren't small issues!
But the transition to the coupons were wildly hilarious and guess what? I'm all for such nonsense!🤣👍🏻
Believe me, those are all issues that I really do care about, but I always interpreted the ads as not so much making fun of those things in and of themselves as they are at vain celebrity attempts to cash in on world problems by pretending that they superficially really care about them.@@Farhan_049
The skittles commercial was disgusting!! 😂😂so.. that cord is going up in her and every time they move her son is attached to her vagina! Who thought this was appropriate? It’s wrong in every way. 😂🤢
Humour had gone down the drain after the 2000s!People nowadays are way too sensitive!😂😂
How dare you!
[Edit] Wait, you're right.
Men who freak out about any display of affection between two men, in my eyes anyways, are completely sus bro. I have so much more respect in a dude who can take a compliment from another dude and just let them know “Hey thanks for the compliment man. I don’t swing that way, but I appreciate it bruh!” Than some alpha-male who freaks out to make a big scene and make sure EVERYONE KNOWS that they’re not gay….it’s honestly very telling who’s comfortable in their sexuality and who’s not.
Growing up, you know which guys picked on me relentlessly for being gay? The “super-straight giga-chads.” You know which guys would hit on me in the locker room or anywhere where we were alone? Those same “super-straight giga-chads.” 🙄
*sigh* We have a long way to go as a society in de-programming young men from thinking only boys play with trucks, girls play with dolls, only boys wear blue, girls wear pink. Just goes to show you guys who know what their sexuality is and are comfortable in who they are. And shows those who’s masculinity is so fragile, that just the sight of another lgbtq+ couple will shatter their willpower, and they won’t be able to repress those gay feelings anymore. It really goes along with the far-right’s whole “gay propaganda” they push out these days.
I seriously hope one of these days soon, we’ll all be able to live and let live. Where we can all just worry about our own selves and not give two fks what the next person does with their life, or who they live that life with. It really is beyond bizarre how far some people go, and how far they stretch and bend the truth to fit their own crazy narrative, that they’ve come up with themselves inside their tiny caveman brain.
8:59 Oh, so this gag I once saw in the Simpsons was also done in a commercial? Could that really happen if the umbilical cord is never removed?
Oh come on these are funny! Stop being butt hurt over everything!
In the Lemmings commercial they were playing a very creepy version of Heigh Ho from the Snow White, which makes it even more crazy, evil, and scary!
Number 11 Laundry Day is what China gets for making cheap knockoffs. They copy an Italian advert for detergent, lol 😆
Thank goodness I come from an era where most of this wouldn't have even deserved a "meh".
It is tragic to live in an era where it is literally impossible to produce another Mel Brooks Masterpiece.
At this point I'm convinced people just enjoy being angry at everything and complaining.
But wasn’t the snickers ad highlighting toxic masculinity and homophobia? 😭
These ads getting pulled just shows how sensitive people are. It's not that serious
The Qiaobi commercial. As a Chinese American who was raised by traditional Chinese parents I can see both the racist issue that western cultures see but I also understand the non racist point of the commercial.
In China having light skin is considered beautiful. The lighter the better. Remember this is a country where everyone generally has the same eye, skin and hair color. Having dark skin means you are in the sun a lot which means you have an outdoor job. Only poor people have jobs outside. Having light skin means you work indoors which means you have a well paying job.
Being an American I see the racism but I also understand the message they were trying to convey.
The ones I can see that are wrong would be burger king, mother's day, fly me, popchips, qiaobi detergent, holiday inn, love baby soft, pepsi, sale's genie, groupon, mountain dew,
Peloton one, what? Aren't women allowed to want exercise equipment? It's pretty sexist to think they don't. If the gift had been from the wife to the husband there would be no issue, so why is there an issue the other way around?
Snickers one is making fun of homophobic people,
Skittles is gross but not really controversial
Dove is also ok, it's just a random order. Or does it also mean that the white woman is dirtier than the hispanic one?
Nationwide is just bringing awareness, what's wrong with it? It won't bring awareness unless it's impactful.
Test Baby is just funny as hell, cmon.
Apple one was just warning them, most of them do follow apple blindly.
All commercials should be banned. They no longer sell a product but a lifestyle, including the degenerates in this.
I have a theory that some higher up at skittles has a brother who started an ad company, their commercials are have been jacked up since.
The Skittles one is nasty. The Dove ad was awful and needed to go.
I saw nothing wrong with the Dove one.
There was a commercial once about a while boy going black man and I heard none complaining.
@@Leto85 Just people wanting to be a victim. I mean in the same ad the white woman changes to a hispanic one
It’s 2023 and there are no things as jokes anymore! Duh. Everything is racist, sexist, homo/transphobic, and arachnophobic. 😂
How can an object be afraid of spiders?
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 it was a joke…
Or "jokes" became "memes". I won't lie, I hate the meme culture. I liked just simple one line jokes and stuff like knock knock jokes that were around long before social media.
(I'm a 90's kid, but never even used sites like MySpace; I was the virtual pet site user)
Isn’t Peloton what caused Mr Big to drop dead in the opening scene of the Sex and The City, reboot, And Just Like That
Fun Fact: The 'Fly Me' ad campaign for National Airlines was actually by Dick Wolf, yes, that Dick Wolf, the same man who created Law & Order.
I saw a laundry detergent ad that showed a dad and his daughter in a dinosaur costume, he smelled his daughters shirt. That ad played like 2 times.
This video is pathetically idiotic. They had to go all the way back to the 70s just to fill out the list. The company that made a apology saying we thought it would be funny, speak truth because no matter what you do someone is always gonna find something wrong with it no matter what. All people see is imperfect messages instead of the true meaning no one can ever say or do what they want. This world is long gone it's so lost everyone is way too sensitive about everything it's truly sad & such a disgrace. 💯
South Africa went ballistic against the Dove ad. We boycotted dove and demanded their products be removed from our shelves. We don’t even care to boycott commercials for their blatantly racist ads but somehow with dove it just hit different. I remember watching it for the first time too and I too was like WTF?
Dove had the bad luck of not starting with the white woman. If they had, then gone to the black woman and THEN the Hispanic woman, I expect some people STILL would have claimed racism. Smdh.
like they said, the problem was bad Editing
Well think the whole dove thing was not as big as the whole Tressemme / clicks thing. Some people will always complain. And then use it as an excuse to go loot.
You guys must be super bored if that commercial offended you it’s quite sad
@@osculimstorm the capital!
People that ACTUALLY try to get a "MESSAGE" from a commercial, are the actual ones at fault here! They are supposed to grab ur attention, check, sometimes be funny, check. But most importantly get people talking about either the commercial and or the product, check and mate!
A lot of these are just jokes. No one can take a joke anymore. I'm saying this as a POC and LGBT.
Just because something is a joke doesn't make it exempt from criticism.
Sadly, you are right 👍👍👍👍.... Carpe Viva
Piece of Crap?
POC?? What is this?!?
Piece Of Crap?
The "it's just a joke and nobody can take jokes today" crew has a tendency to be completely incapable of admitting the damage they KNOWINGLY cause to the "undesirables" they are "joking" about. Feels like talking to a school bully that, with actual intent to kill, dunked the nerd's head on the toilet, for a mild side look at the corridor, untill almost drowning the nerd, and even has the gaal to tell everyone and the principal that saw it that there is nothing wrong with it because the bully is laughing, therefore, it's just a joke.
You come from a completely different world when it comes to "understanding reality, but here on Earth, a racist joke done in jest is still racism.
I can’t believe the Jason Bateman commercial is even here. It’s not bad. People are just WAAAAAY too sensitive these days.
That Snickers commercial wasn'r homophobic, it was making fun of homophobes. Did we watch the same ad?
The 'funny' thing about the lemmings ad by Apple: The music being played is a twisted version of 'Heigh ho, heigh ho' from Disney's Snow White And The Seven Dwarves; in reality Lemmings don't mindlessly jump off cliffs. The widespread belief of this was created when, during the making of a Disney movie, the production staff herded lemmings off a cliff edge for the scene.
Some of these were actually brilliant, but it all boils down to one question - "At which point in history did we become a society of snowflakes?"
People being offended over that Hyundai ad need to get a life
I happen to be quite fond of smut, racism and sexism in commercials; after all they are intended to make people remember a product or service being offered.
The “fly me” ads were created by Dick Wolf - Law and Order’s - Dick Wolf!
My goodness, I'd hate to be an advertising executive in this day and age. People just can't take a joke anymore.
The Test Baby commercial was hilarious 😂
I wish that you would stop using terms such as homophobia, transphobia, etc. It is clear to me that whoever initially coined those terms has no idea what a phobia really is. Those things being term as phobias are NOT phobias, as a man who suffers from two very real and genuine phobias (acrophobia and claustrophobia), I find that misuse of the term phobia to be extremely offensive.
The definition of a phobia, according to the dictionary, is: an extreme or irrational fear or aversion to something.
The symptoms of a phobia include:
• sweating
• abnormal breathing
• accelerated heartbeat
• trembling
• hot flushes or chills
• a choking sensation
• chest pain or tightness
• butterflies in the stomach
• pins and needles
• dry mouth
• confusion or disorientation
• nausea
• dizziness
• headache
I am yet to see or know of anyone or see or hear of any documented cases of anyone who is against the idea of homosexuality, transsexuality, etc experiencing any of the above when they are around homosexuals, transsexuals, etc. and it would be safe to say neither have you.
I believe that more accurate terms such as anti-homosexual, anti-transsexual, etc would be more appropriate and I would appreciate it if the LGBT community and their supporters would start using those terms instead of the inaccurate terms.

Test Baby!
The Skittles ad…😳 that was too much in 30 seconds.
4:03 These were the most successful commercials of all time at the time. I think they’re great, and I don’t think “fly me” is inherently sexual. Maybe my brain is miswired, but I’m nearly 40 and still don’t get it.
The fly me commercial confused me.
It didn’t seem sexist or sexual.
That robot committing suicide broke my heart for a second!
I don't have a problem with the two guys in the. Snickers being gay. I just think that its weird that they'd be sharing a snickers like that of they weren't. But honestly anyone biting the end of a piece of food hanging out of someone else's mouth is weird and cringy unless they already had an established romantic connection. Like Lady and the Tramp. But even then, like, use your hands like an adult human! The whole thing was weird BEFORE they started pulling their chest hair out!
I'd say half of those ads are people just over reacting
Wow who knew ads cost a lot to make 1:43 ………. 8:49 well this is disturbing guess it’s a good thing I never eat skittles I guess
Six and five are the worst ones. The others are people just getting too easily offended.
Ah yes, I recognize Phoebe's condescending tone anywhere. If you If you have the need to be talked down to as if you are an invalid, then pull up one of the many lists that has Phoeve as the narrator.
I just saw an add called flower where they use a va I'm type thing to spoof up hair 🤣🤦🏼♀️😭
Hey thats "Big Al" from 'Blood In-Blood Out ' at 8:16 ! Man he's clearly secure in his sexuality, seeing as in that movie he gets killed thinking he's about to get his knob slobbed by the dude that played Ken in the terrible live action Street Fighter movie. "Dame ese chon-chon!!" 😆😆😆
Ahahah right?!? Men who freak out about any display of affection between two men, in my eyes anyways, are completely sus. Growing up you know which guys picked on me relentlessly for being gay? The “super-straight giga-chads.” You know which guys would hit on me in the locker room or anywhere where we were alone? Those same “super-straight” guys. 🙄 *sigh* there’s a lot of work we as a society will have to do in de-programming all these young men from thinking boys play with trucks, girls play with dolls, boys wear blue, girls wear pink. It’s honestly stupid how misogynistic a good majority of society has become.
@@billyblastoff Right on my dude! Cool to hear you learned how to handle and navigate this absurd planet. I think American Beauty displayed that closeted self hatred perfectly in THAT scene. Also, when anyone makes you have to remind them of the reality we actually live in, ask if they ever stopped to wonder if maybe, just MAYBE,homosexuality is actually nature's own form of population control? 🤔🤔🤔
Ads back then were funny and entertaining. But todays society dont like comedy or ads cuz its offends them. Coming from a mexican who the the bk texican ad was funny
1:20 How the heck did people think this just because of a Peleton Bike ad ? Its stupid.
I never see, in these lists of outrageous advertisements, the most offensive one I saw once. I think it was on daytime TV (back when I had a kid watching kid shows). It was Summer, just ahead of the 96 Summer Olympics. Toys R Us ran an ad about parents getting medals for buying their kids toys, standing on the podium and looking proud of their accomplishment. Yucky enough, but then there's a shot of a little girl, in admiration of her mother, saying "I love you, Mommy!" BARF! So they thought they could get business by telling parents they could win love by buying their kids lots of Toys R Us toys. - puuuuke.
That doesn’t even sound that offensive. Ahahah it’s just blatantly stating, “hey, if you buy all the toys in the world for your kid, they’ll love you forever!” Which is definitely what they wanted as a toy company, but as a society, isn’t the way someone should raise their kids believing because then they’ve just gotten whatever they want their whole lives, and you end up with an adult-child who probably won’t know how to appreciate anything. In my opinion, that is.
And what did you think of the snickers commercial? I found it so stupid that people couldn’t see they were making fun of men’s fragile masculinity in that commercial. Mojo says they took it down for the blatant homophobia? I felt like they’re shooting for our team and were making fun of the alpha males. 🤣
@@billyblastoff I see your point. It didn't hit me that way, though; it seemed homophobic (Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene only Snickers) and why a meeting of mouths? like he could have reached out and wrenched off the end? ah, well. I'd suck at advertising, so I don't have much of a platform to stand on
Pepsi add is fine now. The movement was all about making their founders rich alone as well.
I guess it’s a good thing I don’t watch shows on tv anymore. Damn!
The Carol Burnett Show parodied that Fly Me advert. It was hilarious.
