Nah, it's the fact they're the only group that's safe to attack that gets most people ticked off.


It is also a fact that it has been used forever, but only recently people started to get offended over it.

The vast majority of the commercials during the SB had white males as leads, but one has an old white guy getting kicked with a football and it's now an attack on white males.

It's retarded.

That's well and good, but you can't sit there and tell me there's not a HUGE double standard.

Again, take any commercial that makes fun of a white male, and replace him with a minority or female. Do you honestly think the commercial still runs?

Do you not see a problem there?

When were the commercials good? Back when we were younger. The young crowd likes todays SB commercials. That's the market. Young crowds. Older we get the worse the commercials get.

Now get off my lawn.

Sure it's a double standard. Be fricking proud that you are recognized as the top demographic that can taking a fricking joke. Don't fricking lower yourself to the others. WTF?

Eh, I'd say the only decent commercials were:
M&Ms with Devito
Avocado Dome
Amazon's Alexa
Doritos/Mountain Dew
Tide ad (I ed at the Mr. Clean part)
Giants with Eli and OBJ

Honorable mentions:
Australia tourism
Michelob Ultra with Chris Pratt

Other than that it felt like a giant SJW platform

like 2 commercials could have been argued as "SJW"

Tmobile and Coke (and Coke has been doing a similar ad for 30 years now)

Double standards are never justified. Period. I don't care what side you're on.

I'm on the side that people need to stop getting fricking angry about every goddamn little thing.

You seem to think that since the other side gets offended about everything, the best course of action is to run and join them in the streets.

I want you all to shut the frick up.

The ones I can think of:
Dodge using MLK's platform to buy a truck
Matt Damon saying buy this beer glass for clean water in Africa. Whatabout clean water in Flint, MI?
Tmobile
Coke (you already mentioned)
Toyota diversity
That blactus (sp?) commercial

I mean everyone has their own opinions so if you're okay with those commercials then good for you, they just rubbed me the wrong way.

I thought the Tide ads were well done. It's a simple concept because you're just spoofing on other ads, but people are talking about it/ remembering them which is the entire point.

Also the Geaux Roof ad was cringeworthy in the best possible way. How much does a local company pay for local spots during the Super Bowl?

I can't wait until the xfl gets rid of kneeling, flamboyant halftime performers, and diversity commercials
