raisin bran commercial:

funny! homophobic.
also has two punchlines, the "mr. x and mrs. y are coming to crunchtown" bit, and then the dying, embarrassed "I WAS DANCING WITH ANOTHER MAN IN MY DREAMS' bit.
i love this ad but there's something really wrong with it, morally.

He was dancing with a giant huggable sun mascot in his dreams. I'd say it's more plushiephobic than homophobic! If that! I don't think that's the intent and you're reading into it way to hard if you get that.

xpost DRAT! P.S. I don't have sound at work, but if I'm remembering correctly, the guy's talking about Sunny the Raisin-Scooping Sun, and I'm not sure it's ever been established, ad-wise, that Sunny the Raisin-Scooping Sun is a man, and commercial-guy's comment and manner are plenty funny without reading some gay-embarrassment subtext into it (i.e., he is incredibly pleased about a dream in which he went out clubbing with an anthropomorphic spokes-sun).

? still doesn't point to any homophobic stuff. the looks on their faces weren't like 'Oh he's so gay"
they were like "um he's fantasizing about dancing with a sun on a cereal box"
― Surmounter, Friday, 17 August 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

I did not actually watch this ads until now. I hate these three men. I was also expecting an animated sequence of clubbing with sun man and maybe everyone frying to death. Oh man, don't do ecstasy near a tiny ball of H+He fusion, you get dehydrated enough without being baked to an instant crisp.

you're all forgetting one thing: Raisin Bran Crunch is delicious.
