I saw the planters-salted-caramel-peanuts-presentation-commercial ...
And it left me shaking my head ... in a good way.

http://www.marketmenot.com/planters-salted-caramel-peanuts-presentation-commercial/

In case the video doesn't load for you ...

The commercial has a "Fresh-looking, well dressed" white guy, sitting next to a "Tired-looking, loc'd" Black woman, sitting next to a "pudgy, less well dressed" white guy.

The Black woman says: "I've been working on this all night.", as she starts a video presentation.

Fresh-looking, well dressed guy, immediately says, looking straight ahead at the video ... without looking at the Black woman or pudgy, less well dressed guy: "Are all the effects necessary?"

To which the Black woman responds to Fresh-looking, well dressed guy: "Are you necessary?", then looks to pudgy, less well dressed guy and says, "Nice hair ... What do you think (pudgy, less well dressed guy)?"

Pudgy, less well dressed guy, looks surprised that he is addressed, then gets a look like he appreciates, either her compliment or her asking his opinion.

Then, Fresh-looking, well dressed guy, says, again without looking at his co-workers: "Can't we turn the sound effects down?"

To which the Black woman responds: "How about we turn YOU down", then looks to pudgy, less well dressed guy and says, "What do you think (pudgy, less well dressed guy)?"

To which Pudgy, less well dressed guy, responds (with an almost evil defiant look), "Let's make it louder!"

What is your impression of this commercial?

3. I am trying to re- think most representations I have seen

Many years worth.
-
On a one - time viewing.. I saw the woman sort of flirt with the guy who backs up her idea of more sound effect... and the suited guy goes ugh.
-
as to what they are presenting beyond a quick look.. I would have to spend more time.
-
I cannot help what I have been conditioned to see (on the surface), without reflection.

edit: I did notice she was black, the others white, but I had also been told of that prior to viewing. I probably would have consciously noticed that anyway and wondered why she was there ( why 1? why not 2?, not other races?, why not 2 women? etc.).

6. I liked it.

The black woman was in Charge and you know i love that idea ( i want to be in charge), the classic business guy with the waspy vibe got shut down in favor of the computer dude ( i love nerds) and he seemed very pleased that his talent ( and haircare abilities) got the positive attention while the snarky cool guy got shut down.
Shows how power is shifting and those classically in the leadership role can now be found in supporting roles at times. Made me want to get back to work and show somebody who's boss. Me.

9. Good catch ...

the "pudgy, less well dressed" guy does have that "nerdy, computer guy" feel.

I just saw him as representative of the ""Insider", but really knows he's treated as an 'Outsider'" guy, whose final attitude represents the discovery of an ally.

17. I think you may be giving them too much credit

To me, the commercial came off as a tired replay of the same old stereotypes. Business woman has to flirt to get her ideas accepted, and the nerd is so unaccustomed to female attention that he unwaveringly goes along with her bad ideas -- annoying sound effects in her presentation.

I hope your interpretation was the correct one...

^ The newbie has the correct answer without having to over think it or inject race into the matter.

For inspiring a DUmmy to almost be willing to go out and get a job, this commercial deserves an Oscar.

George Washington Carver, a black man, spent his whole life studying the peanut so any mention of peanuts is racist[DU/mode].

I'm still trying to figure out if Jake misspelled "analysis" as "analize" on purpose.  :rotf:

What a tiresome word salad the OP was.  I kept noticing that he capitalized Black while using lower case for white.

I attributed it to some sort of mental illness preventing him from capitalizing words correctly.

They all seem to be afflicted with it.

reminds me of the post prouddad made a few years ago when some nutcase cause was calling for a national work stoppage to prove a point.  Prouddad said he almost wanted to go out and get a job so he could participate in the work stoppage.
