Has anybody seen the new Chevy Tahoe ad? The wife is taking the babysitter (maybe around thirteen years old) home. During the ride, the babysitter is checking out the luxury of the Tahoe. When they arrive at the sitter's house, the wife says '$40, right'?
Yes that commercial is tied right now with the different commercials for Halos that I hate the most.
Halo commercials are all basically the brats telling the parents they can’t have one and they are just for kids.
Wonder how many kids have seen those commercials and tried that with their parents? Hope the parent responded by saying when you pay for them then you can have a say in who eats them.
I was interviewing babysitters and the one wanted to negotiate a raise before she was even hired!
A friend of mine who is a landlord has the idiocy to drive a big flashy cadillac to the hood. I told her she needs to get a beater to drive down there. She is an idiot.
Yes, I do too
“Speaking of car commercials, I love the Cadillac ELR one

Yes, I do too. I love it!
I’ve seen the commercial but always muted. Even muted, it seemed really creepy.
Wow, I wrote almost the same thing...before I saw your post.
link to the ad???
Even more offensive is the Chevy ad with two faggots getting married.
Their commercials trying to sell homosexuality as a new road to travel is even more disgusting. Sorry GM I’m not traveling that road or any other with you.
It’s interesting that my very very 90 year old conservative Father actually laughed at this commercial. I on the other hand, had the same reaction as you and called her out for being a brat.
What that tells me is that this commercial would have been no big deal back in the day, before the drum beat of class warfare, back when success was respected and admired. I believe it would have been laughed off rather than irritating me.
Google ‘new chevy tahoe ad’ and you will the see that this ad has generated such a high negative response all over the internet against this ad being aired. GM probably is happy.
If I saw it, I would find it offensive.
I was tired of having my children getting subjected to that garbage so we shut off cable/DirectTV a few months ago.
If you’re interested in getting a substantial discount on your cable or DirectTV, just threaten to shut it off and you’ll get so many offers of discounts.
DirectTV is still canceled though.
Heh, makes no difference to me. I know some hack probably put the lights in and they have nothing to do with Chevy...but...just the thought of those union statist jackholes in the Chevy marketing department dropping mud in their pants when they saw flames coming out of their car brought a broad grin to my face.
The only thing that would have been better was to have the thing turn from a lick of flame into an uncontrolled conflagration that engulfed the car forcing everyone to retreat to a safe distance, then having the whole darn thing up in an orange ball of flame and black smoke. Finish it off with an explosion that throws shards of broken, flaming car wreckage everywhere within the evacuated safe perimeter.
I can just see some liberal talking head like Brian Williams the next night: “Yesterday evening at a NASCAR race, the stands had to be evacuated as a Chevy pace car threatened to explode...”
His joy would be NASCAR with egg on its face, but my joy would be a flaming Chevy. I have heard marketing people say “There is no such thing as bad publicity!”...well, it would be fun to see if that was true!
I should get SOMETHING for the 10 billion dollars of MY taxpayer money flushed down a union toilet, shouldn’t I? I don’t think a flaming, exploding Chevy is too much to ask.
The ad implied that they had, or the sitter had sat for the family before and that was the price. The young girl came across as conniving and sleazy.
Thanks. Didn’t occur to me to try to find the ad itself last night.
I understand how people have to make various choices like that nowadays, and how it isn’t always logical or consistent, but...that is how it is.
I don’t watch movies with some people in them (Robert Redford) don’t buy books by certain people (Maureen Dowd) don’t listen to certain music (Roger Waters) and don’t buy certain foodstuffs (General Mills) but everyone has different thresholds.
