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.

    why is it “punching down” to portray a customer being unreasonable to wait staff? it’s supposed to be funny because it’s a situation where one person is being unreasonable and the other person responds to them in an equally unreasonable and silly way. no one is the butt of this joke, the joke is just “isn’t this a silly situation”
