Funny or crosses the line?

"Naptime" advertisement:

I can relate to wanting your kids to shut up and go to sleep (I've been known to put DD to bed an hour early because it's been a long day for mom), but some of this really crosses the line, IMO. I didn't think it was funny.

ETA: verb tense

  • I don't find that funny at all.

  • It does cross the line but I think that's what makes it funny.
    e.g. "Cry hole"

  • "I feel pregnant" and the dude punches his wife in the stomach?

     

    Eh.. I wasn't really laughing. The "Dreamsack" was a little creepy too. 

     

    I guess not my cup of tea. No problem.

  • Meh.  I didn't laugh, but I can see why people would find humor in it.

    I laughed then forwarded it to DH. 

    Do I need to PM my info for CPS?  LMK.

    Nah.

    I don't think anyone is offended by it. Just diff sense of humor.

  • I though it was funny.

  • I think a lot of inappropriate things are funny, but I really felt like that crossed the line.

  • imagekrptcmschfmkr128:
    Can't see it. Is it along the lines of Go the F*ck to Sleep?

    Nah.  I died laughing at GTFTS.  This insinuates that a mom is going to put her baby into the garbage disposal, shows a mom bagging her kids' heads, and has a husband punch his wife in the ute when she says she feels pregnant, just to name a few things.

  • It's inappropriate in the way that that "Blonde in the bar" video is inappropriate, but I still think overall funny.
    The punching in the stomach is more in a "Holy ***, did they just do that??" kind of way, sort of like most of the Hangover movies.

    ETA blonde in the bar link, hope it works:

    Yeah I sort of agree with you. I normally find inappropriate shiit funny...but this one, not so much at all.

    SUV and Chapski have no problem provoking them under their own s/n.

    Oh, I just thought it'd make them flip sh!t even more if they knew it was an AE.  That usually elicits some sort of drama.  Normally I'm not an instigator but I'm feeling grouchy this morning.  I hope someone does it.

    "This is chloroform"

    "even use it on a date...." 

    I thought it was funny.

  • Oddly, enough, I don't like it. And I think lots of inappropriate things are funny.

    I don't judge anyone who laughed, though.

    This is what really crossed the line, imo. Chloroforming your kids and calling it a cry hole is kinda funny, but it's goes far beyond that.

    These parts are funny. The garbage disposal and punching pg lady in the stomach are disgusting and ruins the whole thing.

    Yesss!! I love shark tank! I want a product invention just so I can take it to shark tank and ask for 5 million bucks for 10%.
    I would love to be on Shark Tank. Robert seems like a great guy to work with, but I'd also like Mark Cuban to invest in me.

    This is why I think it's all in what you personally find offensive.

    The whole bit about "chloroform your date" is basically saying, rape her and she'll never know.

    And that's the part most people found funny.....

    I took it as she was annoying and wouldn't shut up. She goes in for the kiss he looks agitated and nap times her
    Agree. The whole concept is that the product makes people who are annoying you STFU. I never would have taken it to the date rape aspect and if I'd taken it that way, I wouldn't find it funny anymore.

  • It's funny because it crosses the line.

    Not as subtle as I like my humor, though, so not hysterical for me.  But I get why it's funny.

  • I could see why people laughed, but the baby in a shoe box and the woman in the trunk kind of wrecked it for me.

    I don't judge those who laughed, but I didn't.

    I'm pretty sure he did it to avoid kissing her. It had nothing to do with date rape.

  • There were certain parts that made me cringe a little and maybe went a little far, but overall I did find it funny.. I do tend to have the darker/inappropriate sense of humor. 

    It's very obvious they wanted it to be over the top and they succeeded..a strong reaction is influenced (whether good or bad)

  • I didn't think it was funny at all.  I may be hormonal and overly sensitive to things happening to children now that I'm a parent.  The disposal thing really got to me.

    Oh my yeah...I think they specifically said "awkward 1st date" or "annoying 1st date" I don't think it had any date rape hints there, maybe I'm missing something.


    That part didn't seem as rapey as the guy thanking them as he closed his trunk with a woman inside.

    Oh. That's not how I interpreted that at all. I thought he was trying to avoid her advances. Maybe I'm dense.

    This. I am still flooded with PP hormones that made the whole thing really un-funny. 

    The person in the trunk of the car was another part that disturbed me.

  • Thats effed up.  Especially the part where the woman was carrying the baby toward the garbage disposal.

  • It might be for a marketing or video related class maybe? I didn't think it was funny. I am sure (according to CSI) that chloroform gets used in assault often enough to where this ad is not humorous.
