In terms of real importance, I'd give this a 0.5 out of 5.

Yeah, it's sexist, but is it really give-a-fuck-worthy? I mean, a lot of sexist portrayals are worse in comparison. It's not exactly advocating violence like some other commercials.

It's just a commercial dude.

Shit. You aren't supposed to do that?

I wouldn't have minded so much if it was just a joke in one advert, but judging by the end, it seems they're using it as more of a slogan that they will repeat. I can't really explain why, but that does offend me even though I know it's only a joke

These commercials seem to paint men as being stupid, lazy, and slobs. And they sum up the commercials with the phrase "Men: Easier fed than understood."

I can't say I agree with it.
