Shit like this makes me want to slam my head into a wall over and over.



Because everyone knows that once you enter a relationship, your girlfriend/wife completely runs your life and you lose all sense of personal identity. And of course all men hate shopping. And women would never compromise, because clearly we are always right.

not cool, man. I don't give a shit if my boyfriend watches football. WTF, yeah, all women are like that.

(and seriously, if someone comments on how I shouldn't say 'man' 'cause it's somehow sexist, I'm gonna be pissed.) From: bobella12

Saw these on TV today, and am not surprised. The bulk of NZ ads are just rubbish. From: peefy

2010-01-13 12:56 am (UTC)

Amen! Not that American ads are by any means good, but I remember watching TV when I was living in NZ and constantly looking like this: "@_@"



Though, I must admit, even 3 years after leaving the country, I am still in love with the Trumpet "togs or undies" ad. (no subject) - microcutts Expand (no subject) - infinite_voices Expand From: kittycurious

What the...I don't even...whut?

The Popsicle at the end looks nummy even if everything before it is sexist and sad. From: uses4safetypins

The thing is upon watching these I can recall people who actually do do everything their girlfriend says. But I can also recall people projecting that the person is being controlled just because said person makes a decision they wouldn't make.



I never know what to make of these sorts of whimsical jokes it's like do they enforce stereotypes or deconstruct them? It's like an episode of family guy does it take domestic abuse lightly or attack it with humor? I've been on the fence about this. From: corridor7f

2010-01-14 03:23 am (UTC)

I feel somewhat the same way. I kind of found it funny because bits of it are true.



There is a certain level of this in every relationship, it's just being parodied to the extreme. Women roll their eyes in the background as men holler at the tv while watching football, men exchange sympathetic glances with the other husbands at the mall as their wife browses... men and women are different and relationships are two-sided.



I really didn't see this as an affront to women, but maybe that's because I'd never date a man who was "whipped" in the way this commericial is portraying. In fact, I get tired of a guy who won't disagree with me and tries to kiss up to me... I think a lot of women would.



Also, yes, popsicle looks yummy. From: kitanabychoice

2010-01-12 03:14 pm (UTC)

Oh, is THAT how a relationship with a man is supposed to go? I guess I've been doing it wrong somehow the entire time. Better go have a talk with the boy. If I go by that commercial, it'll probably end with me yelling:



AND DON'T YOU DARE EAT THAT STEAK, WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU!?



That'll go over so well, won't it? From: edgey_berzerker

2010-01-12 04:46 pm (UTC)

I think my brain blew up watching those. It's WTF to males and females. From: lol_hermit_crab

2010-01-12 04:46 pm (UTC)

I think it's even more pathetic that I know people in these kinds of relationships, and think it's okay.

2010-01-12 04:55 pm (UTC)

Hell and bloody damnation, just what do those ads have to do with a Popsicle thing?



Plus as if all women like mushy girlly movies and shopping. Some girls do like football.

Not so much me, but those men do tend to have rather aesthetically pleasing asses.



But, what is up with these stupid ads? At least show someone eating the damn thing. sheesh. From: dernhelm1982
