Bad Ads - Domino's



The guy in the Domino's salad commercial just seems like the personification of  the concept of toxic masculinity.





There's just such an ugly hostility to this ad. So much anger and contempt for the salad eaters who all just happen to be women, and all sort of seem smug and arrogant. It's like a 30-second helping of "women! Am I right? Always ruining all the fun!"

Also, there's this whole like "Ungh! Must eat man food! Salad for girls and girlymen! Must eat something to clog artery!" It reminds me of the "Just a Salad" episode of Seinfeld where Jerry's masculinity is called into question because he's trying to eat healthy.

So, fine. If it'll keep you broads from ruining pizza night, we'll start selling salads. Okay? Happy now? Geez! Can't we big tough macho men have one little thing we enjoy without you dames comin' along and spoiling it?
Hey, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em, am I right?

Also, maybe try working on getting pizza right before you branch out into other foods, hmm?

    Hey...remember quiche...the book (1982) by Bruce Feirstein...Real Men Don't Eat Quiche? I love fucking quiche and salads. Screw a macho stereotype!

    I hope this finds you and yours doing well. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.

    "try working on getting pizza right before you branch out into other foods" - I won't touch ANY of their shit.

    for me, pizza comes from the local mom-n-pop place across the street from dumbinos. AND they deliver too!

    Who buys pizza? I mean, besides kids in dorms who have no choice?

    Back me up, Jerry. Am I right?
