That's the most racist commercial I have ever seen. I cringe when I see it. hdeck will confirm that. Also, why is he talking to the character that he is playing???

Yeah, racist???😕

Yes. It seems to me like it's making fun of black people. I'll bet money that the actor doesn't talk like that in real life.

Yea I think you're on to something... like all those computer commercials, like the Dell dude, or the Apple switch ad - everyone is high - this is racist! They're calling us whities a bunch of pot heads!
 
I liked the old ones, like the one where the guy is playing with the water hose and that other guy was playing in the bathroom. I think the one with that asian kid was kind of funny also.
 
The one with the guy on the motorcycle is a Pepsi commercial I believe. It's not too bad compared to most of the other ones out there.

I think I am actually to the point where I am so deluged with commercials at every turn of my head, that I am actually "anti-purchase" now. I find myself actually choosing NOT to purchase products from companies that overrun my life with their damn advertising. I think if other people did this too, it would actually have an impact. Of course, I'm not gonna run around telling people to boycott Charmin with me because I hate those damn animated bears that rub their ass on a tree either.
 
I greatly dislike that commercial also. However, I also think calling it racist is delving just a bit too deep. It's like all the Mopar guys I know who hate the new Dodge Hemi commercials, "cause it makes us guys who like old mopar muscle look like inbred, dirtbag hillbillies who're just this side of moronic". Umm, ok, read into things a bit? It's a freakin' commercial! 😀

Well, I suppose in a way they have a point. I guess you have to decide whether it's okay to use stereotypes or not. If it's wrong to stereotype minorities and other disenfranchised groups, it should be wrong to stereotype guys that like muscle cars.
 
Well okay he does poo his pants but he sleeps for 12 hrs. a night, so I can't complain!

But he does'nt crawl into your mouth at night and make you wake up coughing, so I guess he does'nt do whatever a spider can!😉🙂
