Are TAG and AXE body spray commercials sexist?

I think once some zit-faced, scrawny teen-aged boy buys, and slathers himself with one of these fragrances, and then goes to school, he'll soon learn not to take the commercials as a reference for real life.

:whatever:
 
i think it would be funnier to see him go to school after slathering himself with seamonkeys.
 
I often see those commercials in the opposite light.

as if a good looking woman wouldn't normally be attractive to an average dude, and hence why he has to put on this deoderant in order to stand a chance.

so infact it's the ladies in the adverts 'no matter attractive' that come off as incredibly fickle and it plays to that hollywood stereotype.

swap the deoderant for money or fame and you have about a jillion real life examples of things along those lines happening.
 
I like the Vonage one where the tubolard is dumping a white-hot chick and she says "Please, I didn't know you don't like that, I'll do anything, just don't leave me." and he's all, "I don't see a relationship for us."

It reminds me of a GoldenAgeHero fever dream. :)
 
I don't think they're sexist as much as they are unoriginal. I mean, they are all the same. Guy and girl(s), spray, and the chick freaks out like he put on Instant Pheromones. The star of the commercials is the narrator because he's the only one that talks. That being said some of the commercials are pretty funny.

Substitute the girl with you and that's like a reverse musclesforsupes dream.

I wear them even though I don't care for them.

I'm cheap and people buy me them for my birthday:o

Ha, I love that but I get a bigger kick out of the other Vonage commercial where the chick is at the beach and thinks a shark fin is the fin of a dolphin, and while trying to run in the water gets hit in the head with a box.
 
damn I, have yet to see that one.
Must, increase staticky CW-Viewing
 
They're a bit sexist, but they aren't really misogynistic. They're pretty obviously tongue-in-cheek. They're annoying as hell, more than anything else. Besides, those body sprays smell like a perfumed ass hole. :down

The one's I hate the most lately are the Dish Network commercials where the white lady and her friend (a black lady who seems to be the only smart one on the planet where these commercials are filmed) are talking while the white lady's husband does stupid things like build a time machine, a Hollywood studio and a comedy club in the background because he wants good entertainment but isn't smart enough to just get Starz like the smart black lady says. THOSE are stupid commercials...and guess what....they're sexist, too.

It's all right to make fun of men. We run the world after all, so what have we got to lose? =P
 
If it was the other way around no-one would take notice, but because men are seen as having some sort of power over women, it's bad.
 
Dumb sociological discussions made by overly uptight folks don't have to find their way into a nice message board community like this, do they?

It's not all about comic books and video games, buddy.

Was the doctor too rough with you during your last breast exam? Settle down.

yeah well axe is good, but it doesnt have the same effect as sex panther....60% of the time...it works...everytime...ohh yeah

That...doesn't make any sense.

Okay, if I'm too uptight for badmouthing overly uptight sociology students, doesn't that make you too uptight for worrying about me being too uptight?

No, it just gives me an excuse to give you a bad time. So, settle down.

I'm lost as to where I come off as unsettled. I'm practically catonic.

I'll have no more of your outbursts, young man! Besides, if you were catatonic you wouldn't be able to type. Settle down!
