True. When there are no white people in the ad (such as those ads they used to show on Soul Train), the man is the still the default idiot.

So that’s what’s going on in “Norwegian Wood.” Never could figure out the lyrics.

1930s: You do all the houshold chores - and still look fresher every day, darling. What's your secret? A bowl of Kellogg's PEP vitamin cereal for breakfast, naturally

More like as the Rolling Stones put it, "Mother's Little Helper."

Of course, in most of today's TV advertisements we see the following scenario:

Surely you don't mean most commercials. Off the top of my head I can't think of any.

Yeah, come to think of it you’re right. But, if there is a white guy in the mix...he’s the one that gets hosed.

What about John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara in the classic The Quiet Man. One lady gives him a stick to beat his wife, then he drags her around pretty good.

I remember when tv remote controls started to become popular. The joke then was. "A man is pretty damn'd lazy if he can't even tell his wife to get up and change the channel".

Here's one: the Commerce Bank commercials which feature a crew of fat, stupid, greedy old white men who love to soak bank depositors - and who are being taught the error of their ways by a handsome, intelligent, slim black man who shows endless patience with his charges.

Today’s woman is doing striptease-pole dances to sell bras on TV.

I’d rather have men think I’m cute than have them think I’m a ho!

Its not my job to be “sensitive” to her needs... if she wants that she should be at home with hubby, not here with me.

I just knew it would NEVER be a black guy or a woman who would be used.

I've seen it with both.

BTW HATE that commercial.

Do you remember the “Cigars, Cigarettes, Tiparillos” commercials with the cigarette babe?

ure enough, two seconds later the white guy is the only dolt in the vast crowd who crashes the system by using cash.

Meh...four out of five dentists, er, muggers will tell you to target the White Guy™ cuz he's the one carrying cash. Apparently nobody has talked to our criminal element about the "evils" and "ineffectiveness" of profiling.

Perhaps the director's cut of the commercial has Chez Whitey getting his wallet ganked outside the store.

The commercial I always hated was the one where a women is showing off her new watch her husband gave her, where she says, “it’s nice, but I was hoping for a Longines.”

What a bitch!

Probably not that different than the modern day commercials for the [16 bladed?!?] shavers...use our product and this hot chick will appear out of nowhere wanting to get it on wit ya.

Maybe it is because face shaving is - for the time being - exclusively a male activity. No need to appease the women watching.

It’s like the difference between the charm of the old “cheesecake” calender pin-ups and today’s Internet’s porn women. I miss the elegant charm we had forty years ago.
