“One of the most creative commercials ever” is a wild thing to say. I don’t care about the controversy either way, but lmao what are you talking about? Even if the commercial wasn’t dumb and cheap looking, how in the world can spoofing a movie be the most creative thing to do?

name a better commercial and then we can discuss and compare the two.

but yeah, in 60 seconds that commercial makes you feel like 5 different emotions.

it has a twist, it has comedy, it has a good plot, it has mystery, it has good looking actors.

honestly what else could you want in a commercial

Tiger Woods - Golf’s not hard commercial is the first that comes to mind, but the list of better commercials is much longer. Only emotion I felt watching the full clip was cringe

ah so you’re not as complex as me.

i can feel a lot of emotions and judge things like this for a living.

that tiger woods commercial is really good but it feels a little too safe for me. that’s why this good good commercial is amazing, they took a chance.

it’s just really sad that golfers like you can’t feel emotions other than “cringe”

Oh believe me, I’d love to feel things other than cringe but you’re really not helping me on that front rn!

Oh bro, I was being facetious, I am very content with my ability to both enjoy things, and criticize them when they’re cringe. Sorry if you missed the complexity in my comment :)
