PennyTalk Helps You To Be A Cringe-Inducing Stereotype All Over The World, For Cheap!

Confession: Actually, I hate soccer. And my family.
This commercial for PennyTalk literally made us so nervous and awkward-feeling that we began to laugh out loud, prompting strange looks from the two very pleasant dudes across from us.
Do you have a corny and outdated stereotype about white people? Mexicans? Indians? Oh, good. You’ll feel right at home here. In fact, let’s break down the ones we’ve found in this short little commercial on first viewing:
White people: Are homeowners with bland achievements and concerns. Except when they are army heroes.
Mexicans: Love soccer! And their brothers! And speaking to family members in Mexico in heavily-accented English! Love to stand in fields!
Indians: Work in the medical field! Love to gossip! Are often on the phone!
Here’s a fun drinking game. Take a shot every single time you cringe during this commercial:

They could have at least picked people with accents instead of having people use fake ones.
The one with the Indian friend sounded like Miss Cleo in the first part….

Me as a mexican speaking: “I dunno juarez jur problum. dis commershul is fayyn!” I cringed an each time my back spasmed.
