Whether you’re a fan of men kissing each other, men getting grossed out by kissing each other and ripping out their chest hair or just Lady and the Tramp, this spot was the most talked about Super Bowl ad.

Really? Who exactly is talking about it?

Jon B. | 2/5/2007, 4:28 pm EST

Made me laugh the hardest.

Stupid Fucking Ad

Ryan | 2/5/2007, 4:38 pm EST

Nothing like a little homophobia to start off the most homoerotic sport on earth.

TJK Haywood | 2/5/2007, 5:15 pm EST

We live in a dumb it down for the lowest common denominator world, just look at the billboard charts.

jill hives | 2/5/2007, 5:23 pm EST

the people who thought this was funny probably also know all the words to that mellencamp song.

Anonymous | 2/5/2007, 5:37 pm EST

Eww. What kind off MAN would do that anyway??? HMM.

Hobie Baker | 2/5/2007, 5:57 pm EST

It is interesting that an ad can be so homoerotic and so homophobic at the same time. It may be talked about, but it seems to me that rather than appealing to anybody, it’s just pissing off everybody.

My partner and I saw this ad while at a Super Bowl party with a room full of our friends. We were the only gay couple there. Some of the people we didn’t know very well let out a big “Ewwwwww!!!” when the guys kissed. It’s nice to see first hand that a lot of people think the way I live my life is disgusting and something to be mocked.

Voice of Reason | 2/5/2007, 7:41 pm EST

Confusing commercial. Funny?….yes. But why place thus in the Superbowl line-up?

I liked that Taco Bell Lions commercial.

J | 2/5/2007, 7:47 pm EST

Not all that funny. The Robert Goulet one was the best.

Ryan | 2/5/2007, 7:58 pm EST

Best ads were definitely Goulet, and the Sierra Mist Beard-combover….and this ad wasn’t spectacular in any way, shape, or form, but regardless, it’s exposure for snickers and they still will reap benefits from it even if it’s a crappy commercial

Bad ad | 2/5/2007, 8:13 pm EST

Made me associate Snickers with UGLY men kissing. More disgusting to watch than it was funny. Negative association = me not buying product.

America | 2/5/2007, 8:22 pm EST

This commercial was disgusting and distasteful in any and every possible way. The “Gay Agenda” or the “Gay Mafia” continue to push their beliefs and lifestyles not only into our politics, entertainment, school systems, but into sports. Super Bowl XLI was perhaps the “gayest” sporting event of all-time. Examples, the “gay” opening act for the Pre-Show, the “gayest-straight man” Prince Half-Time Show, and this “gay” Snickers Super Bowl ad. It’s sad to see the degeneracy of our culture. Families are being destroyed, children are being brainwashed. We need to wake up and reestablish family as the true foundation of our great nation. For the “gay” community, we don’t care what you do behind closed doors. Most people don’t care. But like the Islamic-fascist or Christian radicals who impose their religious beliefs onto society, the “gay” community is just as annoying. If you don’t like it here, or find it that your liefstyles are not accepted by society, there are many great countries who have accepted your degeneracy. So enjoy them, please. And if you disagree with this post, realize one thing about America: there have been over a dozen States who have allowed to put the gay marriage debate onto the voter’s ballot. ALL STATES have said no to gay marriage. N-O! So when some of the most liberal states in the nation, such as Oregon or California, have rejected gay marriage, what makes you think any one of the fifty states would vote yes. Last time I checked, government is for the people, by the people. So it looks like the people don’t care for the feelings of the gay community. Enjoy your marriage somewhere else.

Ryan | 2/5/2007, 8:31 pm EST

Really? You’re not buying Snickers because of that ad? Has the product lost its flavor? Everyone knows what Snickers taste like, it’s not like this ad is pitching a new product, it was made so a buzz would ensue (which it has) and with that buzz comes the word Snickers being thrown around. Negative association with snickers due to that ad is a silly concept, in my opinion, the fact that we are on here talking about it is just the sort of thing snickers wanted to happen, regardless of our reviews of the ad itself

ali | 2/5/2007, 8:34 pm EST

it was funny, but creepy

Dirt Dawg | 2/5/2007, 8:42 pm EST

What a stupid pitch for a product. Not funny…so they are a couple of gay mechanics. The frigin liberal media needs to stop shoving this crap at us.

ggay America | 2/5/2007, 9:30 pm EST

To the Person calling yourself America, what in the world are you doing on a Rolling Stone web-site shoveling that conservative “family values” crap? Shouldn’t you be renewing your NRA membership or picketing evolutionists? Rolling Stone has long ago established itself as a paradox, both establishment and anti-establishment. If anything, the commercial promoted stereotypes about gays, in that it supposed that gay men can’t be macho. Still, I had to laugh because it was so unexpected and because it also made fun of the lengths men will go to not seem gay.

Me, myself, & I | 2/5/2007, 10:55 pm EST

Wow..what a random commercial.

It’s not supposed to promote having a gay life-style, it’s promoting a product – which is a Snickers bar – that SOME people find funny.

I laughed at this one, but it wasn’t my favorite. I liked the Taco Bell lions commercial the best.

M-Filer | 2/5/2007, 11:49 pm EST

What a stupid AD. And what a stupid motherfucker “America” is. Total homophobic trash. He probobally is a closet case, he certainly fits the profile of one. EEEWWWWWW!

Colleen | 2/5/2007, 11:56 pm EST

i loved this commercial, its so hilarious. It made me choke i laughed so hard.

Danny F. | 2/6/2007, 12:00 am EST

Wow man. Does anyone have a sense of humor anymore? Instead of moving forward, this country just seems to be taking more and more steps back. Anyone who says that this commercial promotes a gay lifestyle need to get their head checked. Let me explain it to all the people who may have missed the “comedy train.” You see, they wanted the Snickers bar so bad, that they started munchin on it, and guess what? they kissed ACCIDENTALLY, that’s right. ACCIDENTALLY. Not on purpose. But ACCIDENTALLY. Hence why they ripped the hair off their chest to prove that they are not gay. Got it class? Good. Your next assignment is to go buy every George Carlin album ever made and go !@&* yourself!!!

Zachra | 2/6/2007, 12:02 am EST

Ryan-

What the hell are you talking about, no one said that, and only one person mentioned the product’s name before you. You went on to name it 5 times in your response. Do you work for them or something?

America-

Until you also include a law banning divorce in your quest to reclaim the straight family, why don’t you let some “gays” show you what they can accomplish.

ken griffey jr. | 2/6/2007, 12:54 am EST

Thought it was great. However, the right-stage player had an obvious square cut-out of chest hair, which made it obvious it wasn’t real. That’s just sloppy.
I wanted to see a ragged clump of hair, what I got was more shoddy work by Snickers and Co.
Also, the ‘Gay’ thing doesn’t even enter into one’s mind without a subconscious filled by homophobia. The premise is very basic and old, and has been done thousands of times on TV. Just because it shows up during the superbowl, like J.J.’s tit, people lose their ‘GDed’ minds.

Phil | 2/6/2007, 3:07 am EST

This was relatable. Because every time I eat a candy bar from a man’s mouth and our lips accidently touch I am sure to rip out a chunk of my chest hair to keep me on the path of God, morality, and ignorance. Sweet, sweet ignorance.

M.R. James | 2/6/2007, 7:29 am EST

“Poster referring to yourself as America,” rest assured, your are NOT the voice of this country.

Just because a slight majority of our populace is not yet well educated enough to not only tolerate, but accept and embrace, those with different viewpoints on life, doesn’t mean things will stay that way. (Just think of the majority of Americans supporting the institution of slavery in the decades before the Civil War — think THAT’S something to be proud of?) Our country is founded on the idea of freedom, a word that Nobel laureates like yourself like to toss around quite a bit. Why don’t you take a moment and think about what that word means before you and your close-minded kind insist on turning your personal bigotry and discrimination into law?

And before you start spouting off ignorant shit like “gays are destroying the American family,” look at the stats on divorce among HETERO couples vs. gay couples. The insitution of marriage is destroying itself just fine. My neighbors are a gay couple with kids and they are probably the most caring, involved parents I know. They will undoubtedly raise two kids who are well educated, well rounded, accepting of people regardless of their differences, and who haven’t spent their childhood babysat by a TV and video games.

Sorry, didn’t mean to go on a rant. Ignorance gets my blood up. As for the Snickers ad, what the heck’s the big deal? It’s two guys ACCIDENTALLY kissing. Do these stupid douchebags getting all pissed about the ad also want to picket every Will Ferrell or Sean William Scott movie, since they always have a scene where they kiss another guy for some reason? It’s just a JOKE. Did you never watch Monty Python or SCTV or SNL or Kids in the Hall because they occasionally dressed up like women? Grow up, people!

Ouroboros | 2/6/2007, 7:45 am EST

Ooohhhh the “Gay Mafia” is going to destroy our nation!!!! How powerful and almighty they are!
Here’s a playlist for our friend “America”:
“Why?” – Bronski Beat
“God Don’t Hold A Grudge” – Boy George
“Searching With My Good Eye Closed” – Soundgarden
“In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-Eyed are Kings” – Dead Can Dance
“I’m so Afraid” – Fleetwood Mac

In response to the old fashioned nationalist bigot denouncing civil rights to homosexual partners, I am truly disgusted by your parochial concepts and am infuriated by your dogmatic nature in which they are conveyed. Your isolationist theory is positively astounding. It sickens me to witness this injustice by our society and political and religious leaders who treat homosexuality like a disease plaguing our country’s morality. I suppose if I were living my life within the parameters instilled by intangible and fictitious powers transcribed thousands of years ago, I might be a bit threatened by a concept as harrowing as love. God is a state of mind and religion is a form of control.

Kurt | 2/6/2007, 8:48 am EST

What else can I say?
Everyone is gay.

Tong Shiu | 2/6/2007, 8:53 am EST

i think britney still slut. she have two baby and she show her coochie on internet. her coochie looked deform, like squid. oh my.

Danny F. | 2/6/2007, 9:21 am EST

The mechanics aren’t gay. That’s the point of the ad. They kissed ACCIDENTALLY. Has America lost its sense of humor? If anything, the ad shows how homophobic people are.

Dare To Hear A Fool | 2/6/2007, 12:35 pm EST

i just thought the commercial was dumb. who cares about whether its about gays or not?

America | 2/6/2007, 3:55 pm EST

To the homosexual community, I have unfortunate news. Snickers, in response to those who still desire a wholesome “America” have officially pulled the Super Bowl commercial from television. The overwhelming negative reaction to degeneracy has been heard. It is good to see that there is still a part of “America” that practices and rejoices in “majority rules.” Unfortunately these doesn’t always apply to other key issues such as abortion or the Iraqi War, but this is a step in the right direction. For the record, I am not a religious person. As a matter of fact, I believe that religion is not the answer to anything, and I find hypocrisy in the American government to be quite disturbing. Nonetheless, “America” is still great, despite its flaws. No nation is perfect of course. Viva America!
