You just saw two dudes in a lip lock...

[Taco John]

...are you hungry for a snickers yet?

[Garcia Bronco]

That was disgusting...I will never ever have another snickers again.

[Taco John]

Come on... Someone has to be ready to run to the store for a Snickers. Otherwise they wouldn't have spent the money, right? Who's heading to the store for that chocolate, nougatey, caramel snack?

[Orange_Beard]

I think i just read a post from a guy lip locked to a crack pipe.

[Crushaholic]

People remember that commercial for its shock value, but I forgot it was a Snickers commercial. In that case, it failed as a commercial...

[Clockwork Orange]

I thought someone was gonna ban this Taco guy?

[Hercules Rockefeller]

That commercial just proves that it doesn't take much to succeed in the advertising world if that one got green-lighted.

[DomCasual]

I voted No, what the hell was that?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If I take off my shirt, will you buy TWO Snickers?

I doubt even Blart would find those two guys appealing...

That commercial would have been fine if it were Lesbians lol...

When I saw that, it didn't look like a snickers, but morphed in my mind that the two guys were sucking, well you know...

i was way to hammered to notice half the commercials. But a snickers is my favorite candy bar so im glad i didnt see it.

[TexanBob]

As someone else said after about the fifth commercial with homoerotic undertones last night "Can someone switch the satellite back to the hetero feed?"

[sirhcyennek81]

Does it honestly matter? Its not like the two guys continued to make out, strip down and **** on the engine of the truck. Move on.

Cuz see, a defensive lineman, his job is to get to the QB, so he runs, and BAM hits the QB. Then he's hungry, so BAM he eats a Snickers.

Why would there be an uproar.

[JBucc]

It looked like they were sharing a turd.

[OrangeShadow]

I agree with zach here, its a god damn commercial! If you are going to have an uproar over the snickers one than you might as well whine about the bud commercials. The rock paper scissors one(which was hillarious) and the slapping in the fce one(also hillarious).

Thing is commercials are meant to get people to remember the product. Guess what? Snickers obviously succeededin doing so. Which is evedent by t fact that this thread was even made.

[Paladin]

I would imagine that Boob and Crazyho both got off on that commercial. I just chalked it up to the laxness of the current generation of degenerates. Moving on.......

Yep! that type of commercial can explain how the **** kevin federline got a commercial during the superbowl now how the heck does that happen? really can someone explain this to me the dude flat stinks in the musical dept.

[DomCasual]

The only uproar I think should happen is over the GoDaddy commercial. Where did they find the women for that - a retired porn star convention? They all looked like crackwhores.

It was a commercial making fun of himself. I thought it was pretty funny. What made you think he got that because he was a good musician?

I was thinking the same thing. What was up with all the gay commerials. We had kids in the room.

I am going on a life long boycott of Snickers.

[watermock]

Gayest SuperBowl...EVER!

Should of had Ellen Degenerate and Rosie O'Donnel munching a turd for full repulsive effect.

Then you have Prince's Metrosexual act with gyrating dancers. I'm sure glad that NFL Productions took the bull by the horns and banned MTV to offer some good wholesome entertainment the whole family could enjoy. His metrosexual stage was just...odd, in a sport that is a manly sport.

Interestingly, after I was done vomiting over Grossboy, I turned to Comedy Central and just happened to catch South Park...A Metrosexual fad had taken over the entire town, right down to the 6 year olds...Mr. Hat and Mr. Slave were upset because they had lost their "uniqueness".

From A to Z oddly enough, the best entertainment actually WAS Prince...just surprises me NFL Productions would feature him. The NFL is the most hypocrytical enterprise of all time in sports.

None of this lunacy either insults me or surprises me, because I don't have to explain to a little daughter why two men were fellating a turd. I'm damn hard to insult honestly, it didn't bother me at all...it just seems that there were some questionable ads and halftime activities. I really liked the Prince show, but I don't think it was appropriate, and I'm far from a prude. Trust me.

edit: I forgot to mention Circus SoGay in the pregame show. I don't have a problem this stuff, I just think it was inappropriate for this venue...call me old fashoned or whatever. I don't think I am but you can't judge yourself. I also enjoyed the Circus...that was actually pretty cool...It was also kinda well...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[watermock]

I was thinking the same thing. What was up with all the gay commerials. We had kids in the room.

That's my objection...Let's not forget Letterman and Oprah..."We're in Love!"

Just an overall surrealistic gameday all around. The announcers were constantly making excuses for Grossboy before, during, and after the game as well.

[heydensmom]

LOL I loved that commerciall....lol what ever. My vote for the worst commercial ever....oh and the godaddy.com ones too.

[Kaylore]

Yeah I wasn't feelin' it. Not even the chest hair ripping could save that one.

[watermock]

I was basically confused about it all. I forgot about the weird one. What was with the hair wrap?

[Crushaholic]

The commercial that made me turn away was the shirtless guys washing the car. I don't know the product they were supposedly promoting. That commercial failed as a product seller, as well...

Perhaps I should check it out more often. For the past couple years, the only reason I'd even watch was for Jimmy Falon and Tina Fey. They had weekend update down, among other things. I know they're not on the cast now though. I did watch it on Saturday, coincidentally, and it had its moments.

I've also seen that white dude, pretending to be a rapper or something. He like, sings or something. That was a funny sketch.

It was the car... that was the spot Chevy had the contest for. A freshman girl from Wisconsin won. I get the feeling she won because it could be filmed with a relatively low budget.

And since the GoDaddy has been brought up, I was just curious as to why TJ isn't wondering why it was a bunch of other women singing GoDaddy in the marketing conference room and helping wet down the TShirt.....

[broncocalijohn]

i bought 4 snickers today at Rite Aid. At $.25 each, I went with it regardless of the "gay" commercial. I mastercated the 3 snickers tonight. Yep. You read it correctly. Got chocolate all over the place too. I cant help it. If you are going to mastercate, do it with a snickers bar.

[BroncoBuff]

Whoever thought up that ad idea needs to be fired...

True.

I am very gay-friendly, but that was so GROSS - I'm not buying a Snickers again - maybe ever. Just too gross.

For all you people who say the commercial did its job, it did get people to remember it, but in a very negative way. Snicker's sales will drop DRASTICALLY from this commercial and they will lose money because there will be a lot of people who refuse to buy a Snicker's because of that commercial.

Snickers pulls plug on Super Bowl smooch ad
Masterfoods kills ad that showed two men 'kissing' after objections by gay rights groups.

February 6 2007: 3:24 PM EST

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- After a number of groups objected, Masterfoods USA, the maker of Snickers candy bars, has pulled the plug on a controversial Super Bowl commercial that showed two men accidentally kissing.

The 30-second commercial featured two mechanics who end up sharing both a Snickers bar and an inadvertent kiss, and then react by pulling out a clump of chest hair to "do something manly."

On its Web site, the candy maker posted three alternate endings to the commercial and reactions from NFL players.

Groups such as the Human Right Campaign and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) condemned the ad, saying it promoted anti-gay prejudice and condoned violence against gay Americans.

"That Snickers, Mars and the NFL would promote and endorse this kind of prejudice is simply inexcusable," GLAAD President Neil Giuliano said in a statement.

Masterfoods USA is a subsidiary of closely held Mars Inc.

Viewers were supposed to be able to go to www.SnickersSatisfies.com or www.afterthekiss.com Web sites to view the alternate endings and vote on their favorite which would air later this month. Visitors to the site are now redirected to the Snickers' home page.

Masterfoods, which has discontinued the ad campaign, said the intent of the ad was not to offend, and noted that feedback from its target audience had been positive.

"We know that humor is highly subjective and understand that some people may have found the ad offensive. Clearly that was not our intent," Masterfoods said in a statement. "As with all of our Snickers advertising, our goal was to capture the attention of our core Snickers consumer."

The ad, which was produced by TBWA/Chiat/Day New York, is the first time since 2001 that a Snickers spot was featured in the Super Bowl.

Well, in other words, I think they were making them look kind of dumb. It was a parody. I think any adult, level-headed heterosexual (or homosexual) man would probably not yank his chest hair out to prove his manliness.

Maybe I value my chest hair more than most, though?

My wife works for Snickers in Wacko and she was disgusted by the commercial.

But if people are still talking about it today then it was a hell of an advertisment.

Wait until the Green Nuget comes out when Shrek 3 is released!

[maven]

That's my objection...Let's not forget Letterman and Oprah..."We're in Love!"

.

I don't know how Oprah is in love with Dave since she's a closet homosexual. That's why that commercial plug didn't make sense.

[TexanBob]

So...I'm just spitballing here. But was there this much uproar a couple years ago when Miller Lite came out with the ad where the girls were ripping each others' clothes off? Would there have been even more of an uproar, had they kissed and made up?

The context of the women fighting over "Less Filling, Tastes Great" was some male's fantasy. There was actually a series of these ads and, in the final one, the girls do start making out in the fountain but the censors made them pull it.

GoDaddy.com once had a webpage which featured about 13 different versions of the first Super Bowl ad they did with the dancer/stripper before they toned it down enough to get approved. That was the focus of their second SB commerical where the spokeswoman is testifying before Congress - an obvious tweak at the previous year's censorship fight which happened to be the same Super Bowl as Janet Jackson's nipple ring.

If they showed the Coors lite twins making out, dancing on a giant beer bottle, nobody would care, and probably be the best commercial ever! Forget incest, homosexuality... The Twins are makin out!!!:sunshine:

[TexanBob]

Snickers managed to piss off both gay groups who thought the concept was anti-gay and conservative groups who thought the concept was gay (or at least disgusting).

I do think their sales will suffer but then I can't count how many companies I quietly boycott until they pull an ad campaign I find annoying or offensive. I figure that if I patronize their business while the offending ad is running then I am only encouraging them to make more similar ads.

[ludo21]

lol at Snickers company losing sales.

wont happen.

[Tredici]

Snickers just missed the boat. Instead of mechanics they should've had two Kansas City Chief players. When they get to the liplock, the voice over comes in...

Not going anywhere for awhile?

GLAAD is a joke. First, nothing "manly" about kissing a dude! Second, it makes two str8 guys worry they did something gay and over compensate their manlyhood. Go away GLAAD. Let me laugh at the idiots and enjoy my snickers. I could go for a peanut butter snickers if they still made them!

Just saw on Cnn that snickers has pulled that commercial. Too many complaints, alot were from Nfl players that were watching the game, saying how wrong it was.

I didn't see the commercial, but I like snickers. All this hoopla just reminds that a snickers sounds good right now. I guess that's the point. Snickers pulls the commercial and says "ooh bad" after they stir up publicity. Ingenious.

anyway, back on topic. I can't believe people would actually stop eating a candy bar because of this. It reminds me of junior high school when people would pick up food and say, "what does this shape remind you of?"

So the gay people are mad because its anti gay, and the straight people are mad because its anti straight.

Seems like squares come in all shapes and sizes...

Like I said earlier in the thread, its not like they went bareassed and went at it on the carhood. In europe they have orange juice commercials with topless lesbians and dildos. We throw a fit because two dudes were so overcome by snickers goodness they touched lips.
