Sometimes It’s Better to Laugh Instead

The Best Part” was actually a challenge to produce a Super Bowl commercial in 2011. The main idea of the video is that one of the men loves Doritos so much he will lick it off others’ hands or rip off their pants if they have wiped any of their leftovers on themselves. What would you do if either of these scenes happened to you?

Do you think these men, depicted below, will have the same response to the man who loves Doritos? It looks like it’s a common reaction to hold your hand up, implying, why did you do that? The men still have the bag of Doritos in their other hand too.

They are probably shocked that someone would act so childish; however, what can they really do about these situations? They both could call the police and file a law suit for harassment but that is extreme. These incidents may bother some people more than others, which changes the severity of ones’ response. The man without his pants on could try to tell his boss his issue, but the boss may just fire both of them. Therefore, should these men just forget about what occurred?

  1. Your analysis of this commercial is so literal! Perhaps you could look for a more metaphorical meaning? :)
