So what if you're poor, we have this product that's so elegant and luxurious that old money people will stare in shock at being out classed by you.

-alternatively-

So what if you're poor, we have this product that shows that lower class people have a type of fun those snooty riches can never know.

If one of these commercials had an Italian matron actually saying that phrase, I'd buy jar after jar of whatever sauce is advertised.

those commercials are garbage but his sense of humor is actually pretty great

I hate when companies make a commercial that's all "fact #___ about our product" and it's some high number like you're hearing all these facts about that thing even though that ad is the only one like that and it plays a lot

The actual worst commercials are the ones that tie pseudo inspirational concepts like boldness or international community to their lovely consumer product. If you work in advertising you should shoot up your workplace.

It isn't even a pleasant blue, just a sickly grayish color that makes everything look as dead as the target consumer's boner.
