Those Christmas car commercials are crazy stupid.
The Buick ones with the drunk guy in the chair to the side really bug me. If it happened to me I would be stunned and make happy comments, but after a period of time (an hour) there would be some pointed questions. Unless.....it was her way of telling me she had a winning lottery ticket, and even then I would be picky about the selection. |

Those commercials are stupid. And so are Border Collies. The asswipe who lives behind me has one that I've been forced to listen to incessantly bark anytime it's outside for the last ****ing 10 years. And it's a loud ****ing bark that I can hear all the way into my basement. And god forbid I'm outside and it sees me, it steps the barking up to another whole goddamn level. It's the only dog I've ever known that I could walk up to and fire a bullet directly into it's brain and not feel one ounce of remorse afterwards.

Assuming my wife wouldn’t present me with a 1950s pickup that needs a ton of work, I’d surely be disappointed.

"Where the **** are you getting this money from for making this purchase?!?"
Yeah, seeing those lame assed commercials with a new car in the drive way or people buying their S/O a car is just dumb as hell. Ever notice the background that the house is pretty mighty fancy too? Only the rich people can pull of this kind of stunt. |

I guess a vehicle would be better than herpes simplex 26 and/or genital warts.

Why is it always the luxury cars?
It’s never “Merry Christmas, here’s a new Nissan Versa” |

Can you imagine how many sugar daddy’s she has to have on the side to buy her husband a Lexus? My guess 6 minimum.

I’ve usually taken those kinda commercials as the spouse getting the other or each other a leased vehicle.

If you are in a marriage and money means something to you, it's obviously a bad move buying a new car as a gift. It's a commercial, they want people to think that it's a good idea.

I make TV ads for a living. I've made them for Mitsubishi, Chevy, VW, Hyundai and Volkswagen.
This one pisses me off every time. I get that in my business are often trying to make things aspirational. But this is total Bs and unrealistic. The house is like a 5 million dollar modern home. Getting Two of these cars for a holiday gift is BS. and How young are these couple? Thirty? Is he a tech bro? A cliche everyone hates? I just don't get why they went so high end and the couple is white and privileged AF. Maybe if they're wearing Dallas Cowboy Jerseys it would be more believable. **** all this. |
