Pepsi Max Commercial

i didnt mind norbit lool

 

LOL, I suppose.

Technically homeboy was getting abused by her. Faced push in a pie, soap in the mouth, object thrown at him.

 

I know. I agree with what you said actually. I still like him a lot and still view him as a talented comedian and actor. I just think now he should get into directing and bring back Beverly Hills Cop.

 

That is ridiculously funny!!!lol.

 

I think you missed the earlier parts where she was imposing on all the things he enjoyed doing in his private time, like taking his Burger out his Mouth, while in the BATHTUB!!! WTF was THAT!!!! That's taking a SERIOUS shot at black women!

 

The whole commerical was about a woman trying to get her husband to eat right/be on a diet. Pepsi Max is a diet soda. If it was a white couple no one would be trying blow this up.

 

Well then why didn't they cast white people, like in EVERY OTHER COMMERCIAL?? You choose who you cast ya know...

 

So they should have been white and then no problem, right? Then we would have the pro black faction somewhere complaining that they always using white folks for everything. And if they would have had an interracial couple well damn sure somebody somewhere would be calling foul somehow. IT'S A DAMN COMMERCIAL FOR DIET DAMN SODA!! NO CONSPIRACY HERE PEOPLE!! HELLO!!!

 

Black women don't jog, so it had to be a white jogger.

 

Which is funny, cause when she stood up, she looked like the one who needed to go on the diet, not him.

Seriously, Royce is correct, they are making comedy out of Black female stereotypes. I didn't find the commercial funny, I hated the importance of Superbowl commercials when I watched football. The media does seem to be playing around with the angry, jealous and angry Black woman stereotype, but many women are playing into. I don't care, and I'm not sure I would if I was interested in Black women, but surely they were using that negative stereotype of BW or the dynamic of BM/BW relationships.

 

Whatever your thoughts, Tam, just google the right keywords, you will see this is already a discussion on the black boards. It could be that's what Pepsi wanted to do, easily stir up BW, like what was done with the ochocinco show.... BW go along with it and show the same indignation and behavior they are accused of; word is out, white people read Black boards, they know how Black women react to BM/WW and they are exploiting it on multiple levels.

 

The media makes comedy of & exaggerates Black sterotypes in general whenever they think they can get away with it all the time. So why is everyone thinking this particular commercial is something that people should be all up in arms and outraged about?

 

Should? I'm not sure if anyone should be, but some are expecting Black women to be.

 

A Black person doing something (or even being shown) takes on a different context, real or imagined.

 

Some = people with an agenda or some type of axe to grind. "Some" will always be around to stir up shit whether it's for something actually legit or just some perceived bullshit.
