June 3, 20215 yr Maybe I'm getting too old or maybe Alzheimers is creeping up on me or dementia. I just don't get it anymore. Would somebody please explain to me the following commercial I saw on television this evening. https://abancommercials.com/oscar-mayer/-aposkeep-oscar-sandwich-bed-apos-ad-commercial/139807/ Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
June 3, 20215 yr That has to be one of the worst commercials I have seen in ages. Perhaps the intent is dreaming of a sandwich? who knows!
June 3, 20215 yr It's just a whimsical ad - to get your attention - which it certainly did - so don't overthink it...

June 3, 20215 yr It's all part of the effort to overcome brand-name CRS (Can't Remember Stuff). And it looks like it worked. https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/report/2017/understanding-memory-in-advertising/ .

June 3, 20215 yr I suspect they are trying to equate comfort with their brand, although it's a really cack way of going about it. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
June 3, 20215 yr Just another stupid commercial for me to ignore. That's my take on it.

June 3, 20215 yr Sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich. Like Freud said. But other times... I mean, come on. Am I the only one who gets this? ;-)

June 3, 20215 yr It's obviously about sex. Wait. Everybody else DOES see that, right? I mean, it's not just me?

All I see is woman being crushed by slices of ham. But then I suppose commercials aren't meant for geriatrics except perhaps for AARP commercials. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot.

June 4, 20215 yr Its got a pretty obvious sexual innuendo, if you take a second to think about it.... (And if you are stopping to think about it, then the ad did its job of catching your attention) Edited June 4, 20215 yr by HiFlyer We are all connected..... To each other, biologically......

June 4, 20215 yr 23 hours ago, birdguy said: Would somebody please explain to me the following commercial I saw on television this evening. It's a social commentary on the role of evolving role of women both within the typical household and in the workplace. The woman is about to go to sleep, and falls down on a loaf of bread - because she is the bread winner. Now comes the ham - which represents the pork that permeates the decisions we make on a day to day basis. One slice falls down, and it's comforting - it's helping her get to sleep after a long stressful day at work. But then another slice falls down, and another - soon a tidal wave of ham. The weight of the pork becomes overwhelming and begins to crush her - she can't breathe. Just as the final drop of lifeforce drains from her soul, the cheese, lettuce and tomatoes come into view along with another slice of bread - the bread she worked so hard to win - and the entire stack of socioeconomic deli products bounces off her cold, dead body. The pickle at the end, of course, represents the male, who is indifferent to the burden that she carries. It's all really quite obvious once you know what to look for. Hope this helps.
