Strange Downey Commercial

[caryc]

I don't understand their choice for the woman in this commercial. She looks like she ought to be wearing a Natzi uniform. Is she supposed to be sexy or what?

Anybody else think this was a weird choice?

Yep it is strange. Is that a woman? Doesn’t matter, I won’t be buying the product one way or another.

Yep my exact thoughts

Trying to appeal to “Trans”.

Seig…….

 

[wwb]

She (it ???) looks like she could go hunting grizzly bears with a pocketknife.

Strange.

Really, kind of glad I have not seen it on TV... would have creeped me out... thanks for the warning.... TV adds are getting weirder and weirder.

I've never understood the implied need to chemically treat my cloths... I'm just glad I can still find soap that they did not add perfume that is so strong that it won't wash off so you can smell like a feminine hygiene product.....

 

[Achigan]

Given that the purpose of commercials is to get us to think, and talk, about the product, I’d say “Mission Accomplished”.
I don’t/won’t use their product, but the old line “There is no such thing as bad publicity” might apply here.

 

[Snake45]

You just can't un-see that.... :?

Cary: You need to find something to do with your spare time instead of watching Downy commercials.

 

[powder smoke]

Never seen it but I do not watch much TV! She or he what ever it is looks like a Nazi. ps

I knew that was coming. I consider that a rather stupid thing to say being that you have no idea what my life is like or what I do with it. These days if you mention something to indicate you watch TV, you're immediately considered to be an idiot for wasting part of your life.

People here liked it fine when my life included making gun grips. But now that I'm not doing that any more, I'm just an idiot wasting my life. As I said, you have no idea the things I accomplish so please do not try to tell me how to run my life.

Then there are the people that are so proud to say "I have no TV in my house" like that is such a big accomplishment. Well, you know what? I really don't care. I don't consider you some kind of advanced person because you have no TV.

As I said, you don't know how I spend my days so stop giving me advice.

Commercials are created to target a certain crowd. I have no idea who this commercial is hoping to target. It certainly wasn't me.

Good Lord! That was seriously pathetic. It caused me to throw-up in my mouth, a little. And, as previously commented; "It's impossible to un-see it". :roll:

Clearly TV commercials are moving waaaay left. Racially mixed couples, obviously gay couples, obviously lesbian couples are becoming the norm. And, they're being run by major national and international corporations. Auto manufactures, banks, financial institutions, pharmaceutical giants, are all becoming "Woke". And yes, I do believe there's a political agenda driving the trend. Woke advertising. Who'da thunk it?

Life imitating art? Art imitating life?

Caryc might be a spokesperson for Downey/Proctor & Gamble. He got all you guys, who probably wouldn't have seen it, to watch the commercial. Now you might even mention it to others. Mission accomplished, Good job Cary.

 

[Bull Barrel]

It's a good thing they didn't put a porn star on the product label...

I don't get it. Does anybody really think that big Natzi chick is going to make me want to buy that product? I has just the opposite affect on me. When I see a Downey product on a store shelf, it just makes me think of that big square face.

It doesn't make me want to buy the product, it just makes me think...what the hell is wrong with those people?

 

[ProfessorWes]

New Downy slogan: Arbeit Macht Stain-frei!

And that hairstyle and tunic-and-tie combo on that . . . creature . . . practically is a Nazi uniform.

Remember: You can't spell "tyranny" without "tranny." Just sayin'.

:roll: :lol:

 

[BDM1]

very.....strange......

And it's still running on TV. I saw it just yesterday.

Ivory Snow might sue them for intellectual property theft. :lol:

More like, Art trying to nudge/influence Life. :roll:

It's becoming rare to find commercials without mixed-race or homosexual couples. If you think I'm kidding, see if you can get through a whole commercial break (3-4 minutes) on any channel or network without seeing at least one mixed-race couple.

And it's not just commercials. On the popular show The Walking Dead, I cannot remember the last romantically-involved heterosexual couple who were of the same ethnicity. Apparently, in the Zombie Apolcalypse, it will be impossible to find a heterosexual mate of your own race. :roll:

A DEAL deal! Maybe he's a Republican! :lol: :lol: :lol:

And of course, you have no idea why. You must be a democrat.

Cary: You need to find something to do with your spare time instead of watching Downy commercials.

And news commentators with straight collars. :lol:

Some people just stumble through life not noticing anything around them. I'm just not one of those people. I guess you are.

Hey............I think she's kind of cute.
In a Russian female weightlifter sort of way.
