All of them. Only consumer drones actively consume advertizements.

I feel like these commercials are proof that American corporations are completely fucking whacked out on adrenochrome, coke, heroin and their own 'look-at-us-we're-so-tolerant-and-inclusive' farts. It boggles my mind that, out of the whole boardrooms worth of people involved in this stupid commercial at the conceptual, planning, writing, storyboarding, animating, editing, post-processing and shipping the finished product, not one goddamn person told raised their voice and said, "This is fucking retarded, and we're going to be a fucking laughingstock if this thing ever actually airs."

The most likely solution is that the general corporate culture in America has gotten to the Japan-type philosophy of "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down" and nobody called this out because they didn't want to lose their jobs, and it was really just a few out-of-touch dipshits responsible for getting it pushed through, but, knowing how retarded the modern day is, it's entirely possible that a majority of the people involved in that commercial's creation genuinely thought it was a good idea, and probably thought it was 'hip', 'catchy', and 'memetic' instead of an 'offensively inoffensive cringe-worthy caricature of an animation where the burger has more detail than the ultramodernist-calarts-bauhaus-trying-desperately-to-be-diverse 3d models that vaguely resemble human beings doing stupid dances.'

It's probably irrational but just the fact that something like this exists makes me pissed and worried about how fucked things are going to get in the future, because the grubhub commercial feels like a microcosm of all the issues going on both in Corporate America, the arts scene, and society as a whole right now.

i've probably called a kid a faggot on this site who could make that commercial with freeware from one of those 'top 10 best' lists those random pc-based websites like to advertise every year.
these expressions of dumb shit are usually like a new label on a product - new members on a board, new investors, new whatevers.

It could be worse. They could actually play Travis Scott music.

I imagine myself entering McDonald's, walking up to the counter to place my order. I address the middle aged Salvadorian woman who is shaped like a bag of potatoes, and say "I'll have the Travis Scott meal." She would reply "what to drink" and I would look at her quizzically and say "I said Travis Scott meal... I gotta have my Sprite." She will say "anyting else" to which I would reply confidently "yeah. Cactus Jack sent me," as I crack a smug sidegrin, slyly pull out my wallet, and place my AmEx Gold in the chip reader before she even tells me the total.

She hands me the medium drink cup and the receipt, while I wonder why she even asked what I wanted to drink, when everyone knows the Travis Scott Meal is supposed to come with a Sprite. You would think someone who WORKS at McDonald's would know that, but once again I am smarter than the fast food wage slaves th-

"ORDER WAN TERTY SEEX"

I glance down at my receipt, and see that my number 135 has not yet been called. The fat construction worker standing by the drink machine walks up to get his order. Why did he get his food first? I am about to ask to speak with the manager because their employees are obviously

you're either extremely ignorant, disconnected, stupid, or in denial to not realize that this kind of thing appeals to the general american demographic. and if it doesn't they probably don't care.

the amount of americans who would become incensed at this type of shit is in the small minority. get some perspective, and find a purpose in life, so you don't become melodramatic about a fucking tv commercial, you big baby.

I've gotten so good at blocking ads on basically everything I use that I'm genuinely taken off guard when I go to someone else's house and an ad plays on the TV while they're watching Hulu or something similar.
I'll watch the ad, just because it's so rare that I see them in the wild now, and I'm often genuinely confused as to what the product or service is trying to sell me on. Sometimes the commerical is just normal and will just explain why you'd want the product or service, but that's one out of a dozen commercials that just have some weird fucking bullshit occupy your eyes for 60 seconds, leaving you to wonder what the fuck it was trying to sell you, then they repeat that same commercial on every single ad break so you see it about five times in a row.
It's absolutely bizarre.
