Is This Commercial Offensive Or Funny

[milven]

I just saw a K-Mart commercial on TV for Joe Boxer and it made me chuckle.
Then I got online and did a google search and found that some people found it offensive.

The commercial shows a bunch of guys literally shaking their balls to the tune of Jingle Bells. I found it on Youtube.

As a commercial, it certainly did its job. It gets people's attention.

What's the verdict? Funny or Offensive?

I think it's silly in a fun way.

It may be in bad taste, but it's not really offensive. I think it's pretty funny but I can see why some people wouldn't like it.

As a keyboard player, I must say the moves between the players is correct for the song.

hahahahahahahaha @ Ralph.

I think it is funny, and very clever. The advertising team K Mart has now has done some good commercials. People are posting it all over Facebook, with mostly positive remarks. It's posted here. They're getting attention for the brand, and that's what good advertising is all about.

K-Mart has latched on to a new way of mass advertising: bypass TV because you have much more creative freedom on YouTube, and that's where the target audience is today. TV is for old people.

The commercial is showing on TV. I saw it twice this morning,

What channel/network?

[milven]

I saw it on ABC and that is what made me search You Tube to post it here

I watch tv and I'm old. But ain't I allowed to be here and YouTube too? Or is it restricted to age

It's quite amusing; I think you'd have to be pretty straight-laced to find this offensive.

What channel/network?

NBC. I've also seen in it on cable channels a couple of times.

Obviously the same ad firm that did those brilliant Sofia Vergara K-Mart commercials. They'll be winning some awards.
