Does anyone have more sexist and obnoxious commercials than Coors? |
|
More male fantasies about scantily clad hot chicks randomly showing up at ugly guys' houses to make everything perfect? Wow, Coors, even if your product didn't taste like the sweat of overworked horses filtered through dirty socks, I'd never drink your poison because of the commercials alone.

1. They have to make commercials like that |
|
otherwise, they would have to produce a quality beer.
I mean, obviously, scantily clad hot chicks randomly showing up at ugly guys' houses to make everything perfect sounds just fine, but they bring Coors??? That's like a kitten-shaped assault rifle. Just because you put it in a nice package doesn't make it any less horrible

8. Yeah, there's a top dude with some misogynist views, that's for sure. |
|
Must be more than one, because I'm sure there's a board that votes on these things.
I'm not sure which one you mean by the window one. This one has some guys drinking Coors out of a boxed dispenser, saying "Can it get any better than this?" and then, unpredictably but completely plausible, Mike Ditka shows up at the door with half a dozen cheerleaders, who then pose and get all touchy-feely with the ugly dudes.

7. Yeah, those are bad, but at least they are trying to sell a product that is based |
|
on increasing someone's attractiveness. Makes it a little less gratuitous. But the Coors commercials have no connection to the product, and basically just equate women (hot women, anyway) with beer and football as toys for "guys."

15. I see your point, but not as bad. First, effeminate and gay aren't the same thing. |
|
I know "Will and Grace" and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" make it seem so, but it isn't. There's nothing which shows the biscuit guy as gay, it's just a sexist joke implying that each gender should stay in its place.
The other I don't have much of a problem with. She's being sexual, but she is her own character, and, at least in the context of the commercial, she's not posing to turn others on, she's being turned on by how exciting her burger is (being a vegetarian, I'm probably more bothered by the burger). Yeah, it's still using sex to sell, but at least it's being honest, even picking on themselves for doing it by making it so obvious and exagerated.
In the Coors commercials, the women are completely unidentifiable physical props, without any character or even attempt to pretend they are people. They are just objects to turn on the guys in the commercial, made completely equivalent to cheap-ass beer and generic football games. Even an old, retired coach is valued more highly.

11. I think mass-produced beer companies pretty much all vie for top spot |
|
in that department - Coors may be on top now, but another brand will step up soon. Actually, the one with the guy wearing a thong, and the guy carrying a purse, is pretty sexist. Miller Lite?

16. Nothing wrong with hot chicks selling beer. |
|
But after seeing this parody ad with Adam Sandler and Chris Farley years ago, I can never take any beer commercial too seriously. http://good-times.webshots.com/video/3044713010101416627IAbtgn

but the sweat of overworked horses filtered through dirty socks has much more flavor than any coors product I have had the misfortune of drinking. (ok on a really hot day any cold liquid is fine, I'm not a total snob, but coors is pretty damn light on the "beer" end of things)

The personal TV product gives us a fake sports announcer in a department store saying "We have an injury report on Todd Whatsisface. His wife has removed his spine, rendering him unable to watch the game." :puke:
