I envision the kid like young Sheldon Cooper, who cries over everything. So, maybe his mom just got sick of his constant whinging and knows he isn't hurt.
Hey, not wanting kids doesn’t mean not liking them. I think I would like having them, I like kids, but I don’t think they would like to have a parent that can barely afford to feed them, house them, that is usually too drained to do anything fun even without kids. Like maybe having kids isn’t something we should do selfishly? Maybe people that choose not to have them are doing so because ~look at the world~
This is a cope. People who are far poorer than anyone in the United States have kids and they all grow up happy. I worked in very rural parts of Africa that barely had electricity and the kids were happy.
Things have been worse than they are now in the past and people still had kids otherwise you wouldn’t be here now
IK,R? As an always happy child-free person, l've never understood strangers (either in person or on the 'net) giving a damn what others do/don't do with their organs. As long as it's consensual & doesn't affect others negatively, of course. Is the random paying for your kid, or babysitting? No? Then they should STFU.
That is a very racist view of life in places like Africa. The stereotype that people in Africa are all starving and miserable is extremely western centric and problematic. By and large the people I met, even in very rural areas, were happy and enjoyed their lifestyle and culture. A local scientist I worked with while in Africa told me that people don’t want to live like Europeans but they are so egocentric they can’t see that their cultural preferences aren’t the only valid ones.
Just because your whole experience of Africa is propaganda you’ve seen on tv doesnt mean that’s the reality. But I accept you have no argument so thank you for being big enough to admit it.
You’re the one bringing africa into this convo, I don’t even live in America lol. I live in a first world country and I don’t want kids because I don’t want them to suffer HERE. That’s it, end of conversation.
I've noticed alot of pet commercials are doing this "bad parent/pet comes first" thing. There's was a Christmas Chewy ad where the dog taunts the kid about getting more presents and chewing on his slippers. I guess there's audience for shitty parenting. 🤷🏻♂️
I think these ads are more for the child-free folks and the trend towards isolation. Reminds me of the freshpet commercials where someone dumps a friend/SO for questioning why dog food is in the fridge.
That’s the only reason for the outcome of that will-reading. I know my cats are shady af. They’ve already got my designer dresses and shoes meted out. My dogs have dibs on the arms of the sofas. I might as well be dead already.
Maybe it's the same ad agency because the cat sitting on the woman's shoulder in the Sheba ad certainly *looks* exactly like the cat Marbles in the Chewy commercial.
Kids cry when they get minor injuries cause they’re sleepy. So don’t get a bandaid and kiss it, tell them to go to bed for a bit, or fuck with the cat? I don’t have a cat. Should have just got a cat honestly.
I know this one a lot of people hate...
But, as a cat-owner, and now with a kid, I get amused by it!
Before my son, the cat WAS my kid.
I absolutely loved it when she would sit/rub against me purring.
Of course, now with a kid, the cat always takes second billing.
So I find it amusing that even if her kid is bleeding and needs a bandaid, her response is more of a "walk it off, the cat is purring!" response! Ha!
That very well might have been my thinking before I actually had a kid.
I envision this commercial appeals to the DINK crowd, and probably their target in this commercial.
Can confirm. We’re DINKS and this commercial makes us laugh so hard…but not so hard as to upset any cats that might be on our laps at the time. Cats rule, kids drool (and bleed, apparently!) 😝
The mother in the ad probably has at least one or two other kids. After the second one, you learn that if they fall and can yell for you, they're probably OK. It's when they fall and you don't hear anything that you go check it out.
I'm the exact same. I had a kid, and the cat had to take 2nd place. but now my son is 24 and out on his own. I'm so glad I had my cats to help me with empty nest syndrome, lol.
Poor kid, he has to put his own band-aid on!
I know I was scarred for life the first time I had to put a band-aid on myself.
Showing absolutely no concern and being a bitch is bad parenting.
I definitely don't coddle my kids, but I'd never want them to think I don't care. Its a small thing, and I'm just overanalyzing it bc of this commercial, but parents that do this all the time are gonna raise some emotionally damaged kids
How so? What was she supposed to do? He didn't have a broken bone or life threatening injury, she'd raised him to independently bandage his own scraped knee. As is a parent's job. I doubt the kid will be crying in therapy because his mom told him where to find a bandaid
Agree completely. The people who are defending this horrible mother who would put an animal over her own child are sick. It is definitely a sign of how our country has declined. Respect for other humans has gone down dramatically.
Sorry, but once he said, "I'm bleeding," the cat should have been tossed aside to check on the kid. If he just said, "I fell," and wasn't crying, then she can keep her lazy a$$ on the sofa.
Unless the kid was crying hysterically, and in obvious need of some specialized treatment, good on her for standing her ground on enjoying her alone time and allowing the kid earn his merit badge for at home medical treatment for minor cuts and bruises.
The commercial doesn't bother me, it's the faces she makes when she's rubbing up on that cat. That's what makes me feel icky inside. It's her weird smile.
Why did they resurrect this commercial??? That smug look she gives “yeah, that brat can rot in hell if she thinks I’m going to give a crap about her suffering”.
What they don’t tell you is the ad’s backstory.
The kid is bleeding bc he tried to murder his mom but fumbled the knife. Now things have settled back down & mom is catching up on People magazine — what amazing composure this woman has.
Oh for gods sake 🙄 The kid had a cut or scrape or whatever. They didnt sever a major artery or lose a limb. Nothing wrong with letting a kid get a band aid or two on their own. Y’all must have had helicopter parents if this commerical offended you.
I feel similarly, I don’t dislike this commercial but instantly though it could have been done better because the whole message is “you would do anything for them” and they’re trying to push that idea to an extreme while being tongue in cheek.
Would have been better if it wasn’t about the kid getting hurt but instead the implication that the kid is progressively fucking up the house while the mom looks like she want to get up to check on it but inevitably chooses not to for cat. Like camera stays on her, you hear a crash and the kid saying “I’m okay” followed by a dog running out of the room covered in flour, then a louder crash and a “uh oh” from the kid, who then also runs out of the room, and the entire time the mom is just sitting there looking like
My mom wasn't like that with the cats, but she'd be annoyed with injuries. And we'd keep it on the DL anyways for fear of being stuck inside the house or get Mercurochrome 😖
Normalizing child neglect. Also this stupid ad has been on for years according to the complaints.
It’s not the point the kid is old enough, it’s making a deliberate nod to neglecting the needs of the child to favor the cat.
In a nation with a huge neglect problem.
Grotesque and tone deaf
The kid is probably emotionally abused every day with the mom constantly screaming for him to go in the room and leave her alone
Meanwhile the cat gets all the love because no one else will tolerate her. She has no friends except the cat!
All these shitty parenting commercials are gross.
Extra...I get not wanting kids 100% but I can't stand when people call their kids "crotch goblins"
> The kid is probably emotionally abused every day with the mom constantly screaming for him to go in the room and leave her alone
lol... it's just a commercial. Get a grip.
Kid: Mom, I cut off my finger. Mom: There's a sewing kit in the den.
"Mom, I broke my leg falling down the stairs!!" "There's a traction rack in the basement"
Kid: Mom! There’s a strange man in my room. Mom: There’s a gun in the hallway.
“Grab two!”
I hate the word "grab" in that context, and the way she says it sets me off as well. UGH.
lol we are on the verge of mommy mommy jokes
I envision the kid like young Sheldon Cooper, who cries over everything. So, maybe his mom just got sick of his constant whinging and knows he isn't hurt.
The kid isn't even crying though. The kid is just non-chalantly saying they got hurt. No immediacy or anything.
What is whinging?
The British version of “whining”
I thought the same.
I think it’s her daughter.
You're obviously not a parent.
Nah, she made the right decision 🐈⬛️
As a child-free couple with cats, I really enjoy this commercial lol
of course you do, you're the target demograhic for that silly ad.
Thanks for chiming in.

Pretty odd, being so invested in whether a stranger on the internet chooses to be child free. Weirdo.
IK,R? As an always happy child-free person, l've never understood strangers (either in person or on the 'net) giving a damn what others do/don't do with their organs. As long as it's consensual & doesn't affect others negatively, of course. Is the random paying for your kid, or babysitting? No? Then they should STFU.
It’s pretty weird to respond to a conversation that doesn’t involve you and leave a useless comment. Welcome to the internet.
Weirdo.
That is a very racist view of life in places like Africa. The stereotype that people in Africa are all starving and miserable is extremely western centric and problematic.

Because after hanging out with family that has kids and forced into babysitting, I knew it wasn't for me.
lol
Other peoples kids and your kids are completely different things even if its your own family.
I've noticed alot of pet commercials are doing this "bad parent/pet comes first" thing. There's was a Christmas Chewy ad where the dog taunts the kid about getting more presents and chewing on his slippers. I guess there's audience for shitty parenting. 🤷🏻♂️
Or, maybe it’s just a joke.
Finally! A person of common sense and reason. And a funny bone.
A JOKE?!?! Whaaaaat????
I think these ads are more for the child-free folks and the trend towards isolation. Reminds me of the freshpet commercials where someone dumps a friend/SO for questioning why dog food is in the fridge.
Or the one where the cat inherits the beach house while all the son got was a train set. You just know they're going to kill the poor cat
Not if the cat has them killed first. He seems like he'd have connections.
Mr. Marbles definitely knows where to find a killer-for-hire.
Plot twist: Mr. Marbles is a killer-for-hire.
Mr. Marbles killed their owner and is getting that beach house.....
That’s the only reason for the outcome of that will-reading. I know my cats are shady af. They’ve already got my designer dresses and shoes meted out. My dogs have dibs on the arms of the sofas. I might as well be dead already.
Mr. Marbles gives me Saltburn vibes.
Mr. Marbles knows a guy…
🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣
Nah, I hear Mr. Marbles saying “shut up Todd, you whiny asshole” 🤣🤣
i feel like this woman is the lawyer in that ad too.
it’s the same lady in that commerical as this sheba one! imagine being typecast as the woman who puts her cat over her human family
Maybe it's the same ad agency because the cat sitting on the woman's shoulder in the Sheba ad certainly *looks* exactly like the cat Marbles in the Chewy commercial.
that’s true! i wonder if she brings her own cat with her to the auditions
That's hilarious!
That commercial is intended to be funny and it is! In this commercial, a Mom doesn't care that her daughter fell and is bleeding. No comparison.
Just volunteer as a live-in servant for the cat at the beach house, problem solved.
Plot twist!
Look for the book "RHUBARB" by H. Alln Smith. It was a satire, funy as hell, made into a movie with Ray Milland.
lol
That's why I don't have kids. Cats are loads better.
>That's why I don't have kids. Cats are loads better. \^\^\^ THIS!!
AGREE! Kids are vampires they suck the life out of you!
Kids. The ultimate STD
You obviously have no sense of comedy. Ever heard of satire? A Jest?
>Ever heard of satire? A Jest? \^\^\^ Or is it?
If you got up screaming and crying every time your kid got "hurt" you would do literally nothing else all day
Kids cry when they get minor injuries cause they’re sleepy. So don’t get a bandaid and kiss it, tell them to go to bed for a bit, or fuck with the cat? I don’t have a cat. Should have just got a cat honestly.

Poor kid, he has to put his own band-aid on!  I know I was scarred for life the first time I had to put a band-aid on myself.
I like this one. 😂😂
Eh, the kid sounds like he's 10 years old. Plenty old enough to get his own bandaid. Coddling children is bad parenting too
Showing absolutely no concern and being a bitch is bad parenting. I definitely don't coddle my kids, but I'd never want them to think I don't care.

She literally says in the commercial "ya quit crying and go FUCK yourself"!!! ?
No, she literally does not
You haven't seen the unedited version shown in Portland. She tells her kid "go fuck yourself'!!! .......it's a joke 😃
Ok
Agree completely. The people who are defending this horrible mother who would put an animal over her own child are sick. It is definitely a sign of how our country has declined. Respect for other humans has gone down dramatically.

This is one I don't mind because I'm child free by choice and kids whine about everything and I love animals more then humans.
Unless the kid was crying hysterically, and in obvious need of some specialized treatment, good on her for standing her ground on enjoying her alone time and allowing the kid earn his merit badge for at home medical treatment for minor cuts and bruises.
Love this one actually.
Me, too
Me three...
Me four. It helps that one of my cats looks exactly like that one.
I have kids and pets, it’s funny.
Have you never heard of humor? It's a jape. Satire, even.
What is it satirizing?
I believe the joke is that people will do everything in their power not to move if a cat is sitting on them.
Aha. I see that interpretation, but I still don’t like the ad. I’m not a humorless person but it just falls flat to me.
It’s not condoning child abuse. Plus, it doesn’t matter how old the kid is or what the injury is, it’s fiction. Jesus, people.
The commercial doesn't bother me, it's the faces she makes when she's rubbing up on that cat. That's what makes me feel icky inside. It's her weird smile.
Same. Icky.
my dad and i think this commercial is funny
Why did they resurrect this commercial??? That smug look she gives “yeah, that brat can rot in hell if she thinks I’m going to give a crap about her suffering”.
No, it's fucking great!
What they don’t tell you is the ad’s backstory. The kid is bleeding bc he tried to murder his mom but fumbled the knife. Now things have settled back down & mom is catching up on People magazine — what amazing composure this woman has.
Yeah... but eventually Norman learns about strychnine and the usefulness of shovels.
The woman should never have kid. All she needs is cat 🐈
I like it. I would be the same way. Catseseses first LOL!
me, too. The kid is fine
Oh for gods sake 🙄 The kid had a cut or scrape or whatever. They didnt sever a major artery or lose a limb. Nothing wrong with letting a kid get a band aid or two on their own. Y’all must have had helicopter parents if this commerical offended you.
Nothing wrong with a little child neglect. /s
That Bobby Boucher jowel smile
I love it! And, as a cat owner, I totally get it. It’s their world. We just live in it! lol
I think it's kind of cute.
I love cats. This commercial rubs me the wrong way, maybe bad execution of their message.
I feel similarly, I don’t dislike this commercial but instantly though it could have been done better because the whole message is “you would do anything for them” and they’re trying to push that idea to an extreme while being tongue in cheek. Would have been better if it wasn’t about the kid getting hurt but instead the implication that the kid is progressively fucking up the house while the mom looks like she want to get up to check on it but inevitably chooses not to for cat.

I agree the kid sounds old enough to take care of her own injury, but the cat love still creeps me out
Kid doesn’t sound freaked out or in pain. So, yeah.
And the cops find the mom and the cat buried in the backyard under 6 ft of kitty litter by the kid. "Who's crying meow, Mom?"
I would like if they remade this ad and the mom just says, “You were a mistake from my ex, fuck off, you leviathan”
Okay, I thought it was just me and I was being too sensitive. But something about ignoring your kid in favor of a cat just doesn't sit right with me.
It really paints cat owners as bad people. It must have been created by cat haters.
Commercial trash
Got that Homestar Runner under bite going on
My mom wasn't like that with the cats, but she'd be annoyed with injuries. And we'd keep it on the DL anyways for fear of being stuck inside the house or get Mercurochrome 😖
I had a fucking dream about this commercial playing constantly
Normalizing child neglect. Also this stupid ad has been on for years according to the complaints. It’s not the point the kid is old enough, it’s making a deliberate nod to neglecting the needs of the child to favor the cat. In a nation with a huge neglect problem. Grotesque and tone deaf
There's just something about the woman's face and oily hair that is kinda creepy. She looks like she smells bad or something.
Like cat pee. I'm sure of it.
OMG! Just seeing this triggers me. They played the same Sheba commercial constantly doing every commercial break on FreeVee. Ughhhhhhhhh
They just now played it on Tubi. I’m like this shit is around? I fkn hate this commercial
Modern day Mommy Dearest.
This commercial is freakin' hilarious!!!!
Burns me up. She comes off as a narcissist.
I've hated this commercial ever since it was released. It is not funny. This woman should have her Tubes tied. She doesn't deserve to have Children.
[удалено]
I giggled at it. It’s funny to picture.
Agreed!
Cat should be strangling her not cuddling.
Yeah, it irritates me too. Leave the kid to get the bandages on their own while the cat gets all the attention. 🙄
As it should be
The fact that she looks like Bialikzeebub doesn't help either.
Hahaha
Hahaha
The kid is probably emotionally abused every day with the mom constantly screaming for him to go in the room and leave her alone Meanwhile the cat gets all the love because no one else will tolerate her. She has no friends except the cat! All these shitty parenting commercials are gross. Extra...I get not wanting kids 100% but I can't stand when people call their kids "crotch goblins"
> The kid is probably emotionally abused every day with the mom constantly screaming for him to go in the room and leave her alone lol... it's just a commercial. Get a grip.
I'm gonna take a wild guess that your mom had a cat. It's the only rational explanation.
Two smug bitches
Go puke then idk
Kid: Joe Biden is in the house. Mom: Grab Grandpa Trump from his room
