Bad. So very bad on so many levels.
Now I know what the audience felt like while they watched “Springtime for Hitler.”
Wait - that’s not a REAL commercial, is it?
Local commercials always have a tinge of badness. Case in point: Chicago’s Eagle Insurance. Apparently, the ad was intentionally meant to be bad, but still.
Are they intentionally being insulting? Or is this lily-white boy just not getting it?
They’re trying to cash in on the popularity of Madea, an outspoken older black woman who is the subject of various plays and movies by Tyler Perry.
And coming close, but not quite topping the bug-eyed minstrelsy of Perry’s own work. I can’t fathom how the commercial would instill in anyone a sense of confidence in the firm’s professionalism.
But I gather I am outside their target demographic.
I don’t even know what they are selling.
