Well, at least they aren't Cleveland Browns fans....
So the point of this ad is that this stupid family is totally obsessed with the Atlanta Falcons to the point of dressing in Falcons jerseys, giving eachother Falcons-themed gifts for Christmas, and even wearing Falcons gear for the family portrait. Mom's closet looks like she wears absolutely nothing BUT Falcons stuff. Except....
Turns out that Mom is a "closet" (get it?) Russell Wilson fan, so I guess she roots for the Seahawks in the deep recesses of her heart. Or maybe she just roots for Wilson the player and doesn't care what team he plays for. Either way, this is the joke of the ad. I guess. I don't know. The YouTube commenters think it's hysterical and even make it a point to let us know that they get why it's funny, etc. etc. Because YouTube commenters are very, very stupid.
I'll just point out that this entire family, INCLUDING mom whether she loves the Seahawks or just Russell Wilson, must really, REALLY hate the New England Patriots. Hey family- how did you like last year's Superbowl? Hey Mom- how did you like Superbowl 49? I thought they were both great, myself.

More "Real People Begging for TV Facetime" ads from Chevy? Merry Christmas, I guess.
The "Real People, Not Actors" gang reach a new level in butt-kissing in this ad, and considering what we've seen in the past I wasn't sure that was even possible. One woman can't even let the spokeschoad get through his first sentence without an admiring gasp, and the rest chime in right on cue with their moans of approval as they stand a respectable distance from the Glowing Wonder which is whatever piece of overpriced junk Chevy is peddling with these played-out trashy ads these days.
Hey, Chevy People- nobody believes your lame attempts to convince us that you are stunned by the sales pitch of the spokeschoad. And we don't need to be told you're "Not Actors" and are just sad losers who desperately want to be actors.
Hey, Chevy- enough, already. These ads are already among the very hated on television. Nobody believes them, nobody finds them convincing, nobody wants to see them anymore. We just want to slap the non-actors for selling their souls so cheaply and punch that idiot Chevy whore in the face for showing up on our televisions way too often. Move on. Please.

Yoplait Moms have massive chips on their shoulders*
"Look at me? That means you dissaprove."
"Glance at me? That means you are trying to pretend I don't exist. You're hateful."
"Don't look at me at all? You can't ignore me. I'm here anyway, and you WILL acknowledge my existance. I am woman, hear me roar, etc."
Oh, and I am going to drink wine whether you like it or not- and don't tell me you don't give a flying damn either way, because no way that's an option. You notice everything about me- what I drink, what I wear (don't criticize my dress- it's how I got that guy to nail me so I could become TrophyWife No. 2) and everything else about me that I just KNOW you and everyone else are totally obsessed with because I'm Really That Important In Your Universe."
And finally- I'm raising my little girl to eat this yogurt, and I don't give a damn if you dissaprove which of course you do because Reasons. I told you to stop pretending you don't care! Stop acting as if this means nothing to you! YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND I CAN TELL AND YOU CAN'T PRETEND YOU DON'T DAMMIT! MY LIFE HAS MEANING TO TOTAL STRANGERS!"
If this is what it means to be a Mom in America these days, well....wow. That's really sad.
*And now someone is going to find this blog and use it as proof that women are being "judged" everywhere, all the time, by everyone. Sigh.

"My perfect life is exactly 1% more perfect- let me do my Lexus dance!"
The "adult" that this kid turns into at the 15-second mark is quite literally worshipping at the shrine of a Lexus LookatMeMobile. Judging from his reaction to getting a car he is clearly capable of buying himself at any time- after all, didn't TrophyWife buy it for him out of family funds?- I just have to wonder- what was his reaction when he learned that TrophyWife was pregnant, or when the doctor told him that she had given birth to a healthy baby girl? Was it anything even CLOSE to his reaction when he discovered that his family was $50,000 poorer because his wife had given in to his dream of adding a luxury automobile to what was already a fantasy life?
Just asking. Doesn't look like this Eurotrash creep has his priorities straight, but that's just me.

I just want to punch this guy in the face
The doofus in this commercial takes a call from mom and tells her that while he's cut back on his spending, he's still having a hard time paying his bills. He says this in a defeated, deflated voice which suggests to me that he's kind of hoping Mommy comes to the rescue with her checkbook. Again.
Instead, Mommy tells Not Ready To Be Out of The House Yet loser son "I know someone you should talk to." It's a bankruptcy attorney.
So we've gone from "I'm having a hard time paying all these bills" to "you should declare bankruptcy" in 2.5 seconds flat. I hope Beverly or whatever this attorney's name is suggests that Doofus just admits that he can't afford his own place and should move back in with Mommy until he gets his finances in order rather than royally screw up his credit rating for the next decade with a "oh heck budgeting is too much of a pain" bankruptcy, but I kind of doubt that's going to happen because Mommy and Beverly both seem to think that filing for bankruptcy is a Magic Bullet which solves every problem.
Personally, Doofus, I think that sweater is the root of all your problems. I don't care if Mommy did make it for you special. Stop wearing that thing. It's dragging you down. And stop whining to Mommy about your money problems. You're really depressing me.

Holy Crap, Jaguar!!
"Why are there so many miles on it?"
Are you F---NG SERIOUS, WOMAN???
It's an F---NG JAGUAR!! It's a 2018 F--NG JAGUAR!! And when your husband hands you the keys and you start it up with a push of an F--ng BUTTON, your only response is "why are there so many miles on it???"
And take a look at that odometer. There are LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES ON THIS CAR. That's "So Many" miles to you? Could you be just a little more spoiled rotten?
And what's YOUR deal, buddy? You've handed your trophy wife and the mother of your children the keys to a F---NG JAGUAR and when she responds not with "Oh My Gosh thank you sooooo much I'm so glad I sold myself to YOU" but with "why are there so many miles on it?" your immediate reaction is not to take the keys and return it to the dealership for a refund but to hem and haw with a sheepish look on your face? What did you ask TrophyWife to give you for Christmas? Let me guess- it's something you were born with, but surrendered to her quite some time ago, perhaps?
Are you F---NG KIDDING ME???
There's really no room for anyone else in this Cadillac Commerical anyway
And to think, for all those years I thought that the song "One is the Loneliest Number" by the Three Dog Night was about the desperate sadness that goes along with being alone. I remember listening a bit further and learning that "two can be as sad as one" when the relationship is sterile and devoid of love...or, at least, that's what I thought it meant.
Thanks to the magic of tv commercials, I now know that I've been wrong for forty years, and it turns out that the song was about how awesome it was to be Number One in your own heart, and that the best way to achieve this feeling is to be a status-absorbed douchenozzle with a stereotypical engineering job in a cliche'd all-glass office who drives a Cadillac.
Boy, is my face red. Oh wait, that's not embarressment. More like rage.
Eventually, all of the songs we grew up with will be whored out to big corporations to be used in advertisements. "But that's not something that I'm looking forward to"-- Ringo Starr, Photograph
