Bad Commercial - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Kitt · 10-20-2004, 06:19 PM

You know that commercial for Dodge where the cocky, sarcastic, PO'd wife, or whatever she is supposed to be, comes storming out of the house to tell her husband that he is an ass, but catches herself? I think that commercial is in very, very bad taste. It seems like somewhat of a threshold commercial as to what we will put up with. The old battle of the sexes joke is a long running joke. This one went to far and jolts my sensitivity and my nerves everytime I see it.

Thoughts?

I was kind of surprised, they made it pretty obvious she was about to call him an "ass" or something to that nature. I didn't think much of it other than that.

TJL · 10-20-2004, 06:23 PM

Yeah, I don't care for that one either.

It's a horrible stereotype that's all over TV.

Men are dumb and selfish, but occasionally we do something right as not to piss off the wife. We get it.

Now try something new.

I have no idea what youre talking about and havent seen it yet. What exactly happens and why does she get mad?

Kitt · 10-20-2004, 06:39 PM

No point in me trying to give you the script. You'd need to see it to have an opinion. It is being played during the baseball games. I just saw it a few minutes ago once again during the Cardinals and Astros game. I guess it's being played a lot all over TV. Keep an eye out for it. It's a Dodge Truck commercial.

Penny Lane · 10-20-2004, 07:06 PM

I haven't seen it but I respect my husband

Kay Scarpetta · 10-20-2004, 07:16 PM

Yeah, that one disturbs me a little.

Her husband buys himself a motorcycle, and puts it in the back of his truck. His wife starts to call him an ass...or worse, then she sees an antique table that he bought for her in the back seat and gets all sweet.

You're right Kitt. That ad hits a raw nerve. I thought that the first time I saw it.

I think, once again, that you are taking it too seriously. BUT that is just my opinion. There is no fact to back it up.

Uhuh, yes. It's a commercial. I happen to think it's a bad commercial and have posted as much. Is that okay?

I was just commenting and expressing my opinion .And my opinion is that the commercial is intended to be a joke. Is that okay?

Sure it is. And we respect your view on it very much. Don't agree with it. But respect it.

D-Dey · 10-23-2004, 09:03 AM

I can think of one much worse than that. It's that Capital One spot with the Coast Guard trying to rescue that guy lying on the beach of a tropical island with S.O.S. spelled out in rocks or coconuts or something, and then he springs up and laughs in their faces, while his wife does the same off in the bushes. I swear, I just want to smash that guys head in!

Hey, has anybody ever heard of the "Commericals I Hate" website?
