are t.v. and radio ads are aimed at the stupid?

almost all advertising seems to use the same strategy of trying to be funny and at the same time selling their product. thing is, they are never funny. maybe someone's gram would laugh, but i never do. is anybody laughing?

2. Visa just did an ad with a man hitching a ride in an Amish buggy

I saw it last night for the first time and it was hilarious.
