I hate seeing commercials in general. I hate when they try to be funny. I hate that insurance is a business.

But this commercial is such an intersection of obnoxious capitalist bullshit that I actively look away when the commercial starts playing.

Like fuck dude, they show the poor server getting a hand cramp and we’re supposed to find that funny?

I’m going to write another comment breaking down specifically why I hate this particular commercial, but I’d love to hear other people’s response to the ad.

    I’m completely with you. They broke the number 1 rule of comedy, they punched down. In that exchange the customer has the power and yet the server is the butt of the joke.

    Like who is this for?

    Treat brained Americans that see servers as servants and don’t see anything wrong with this exchange as a “joke.”
