You mean the mess and the slob? :9

The Guinness ad (which, sadly, never aired in the US) has long been rated #1 by viewers at the Commercial Closet website, which spotlights and rates GLBT-themed commercials from all over the world, both positive and negative.

 

The most popular ones are ranked toward the bottom of the page. My personal favorite is the Hyundai "Toy Boy" spot.

So this commercial perpetuates the old stereotype of the stay at home "woman" cleaning and picking up after the slob "husband" so he can go out and bring home the bacon. This commercial shows an abusive relationship were one person can live freely and have no regard for the other. What glory, what satisfaction is there in cleaning up after someone who is spoiled, self-centered and completely sexually egotistical.

 

I need a beer.

You might see it that way, but I see it as breaking the old stereotype of all gay men being neat and prissy and fastidious.

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Well, that explains that for the slob who used his car for a coaster. That doesn't explain his partner who uses latex gloves for everything EXCEPT fun things.

 

>Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

 

Cooking, caring for and making a home WITH someone is one thing, especially if it is mutual where tasks are shared or equally divided. The "Felix" to this German's "Oscar" seems little more than a glorified Geisha with a bottle of Windex. Oscar gets to be a slob with no responsibilities (INCLUDING driving away from the mess) and Felix gets the joy of cleaning up after his dirty, trifling ass.

 

I never responded so strongly to a commercial before. I am still in shock from the death of the "Where's the Beef" lady.

[Rick Munroe]

>>Oh I thought your answer was going to be: "Ask Derek"

 

That actually was going to be my answer, but I didn't want to ruin Derek's reputation...although he does look fucking hot when he's scrubbing the floor with nothing on but a pair of latex gloves (I keep him naked and kneeling as often as I can).

[Rick Munroe]

>Cooking, caring for and making a home WITH someone is one

In my marriage, our tasks are evenly shared. Derek does the cooking, the cleaning, the driving, the laundry...and I do the emailing, message board posting and online shopping.

 

>Oscar gets to be a slob with no responsibilities (INCLUDING

>driving away from the mess) and Felix gets the joy of cleaning

Sounds fucking great to me, although I would also expect Derek to do the driving. }(

Can I hire him out for that purpose?

My floors and I can use the attention

 

I have never seen a purplekow;

I never hope to see one;

I can tell you anyhow;

I'd rather see than be one

 

Help there is a purplekow in my mirror

This commercial starts with a view of a typical suburban area in black and white. The music playing is clearly dated from the Mom at home days of the 50's and 60's though I think Tanya Tucker did that song in the mid 60"s. The clear intent of this is to exemplify a time when Moms cleaned up after sloppy Dads. Twist one, the Mom is a hot guy. Twist two is stated clearly at the end: "Not everything in black and white makes sense."(But Guiness does.) I chose to believe that to mean that the stereotypes don't make sense, whether they it be male or female stereotypes.

 

Anyone interpret this in another way?

Hmmm. Your use of the word "driving". Is there a little double entendre going on here?

And you would be a "kept woman".

[Guest novabear22031]

Sadly here in the US, any "Gay theme" ads need to be really "dumbed" down. I remember the flack Ikea got for one of their ads a few years ago....
