Look at the dislike bar. When I saw it, it made me annoyed but I cant really pinpoint or describe why.

I don't get it either tbh. I mean I just don't like commercials so I don't like this one, but I don't see how it's particularly bad

It fails on three layers I think.

One: Basics like the crappy corporate art style and music choice

Two: Concept is boring, it's just following this trend of a lot of commercials where "We have no ideas for how to advertise this service, so I guess just have people dance around and act excited"

Three: It's worse because it's a food service and I don't like the idea of dancing and eating, so it's sickening to the stomach a bit.

Everything about it screams "look how hip and current we are, isn't this what millennials and zoomers are into!?1?".

Doesn't GrubHub also have those commercials where someone's voice is rapping different food orders, or is that Door Dash? Either way, that one sucks too.

Yep, it somehow got filtered through the culture war and an anti-SJW lens from what I've seen. Not that they make up the entire backlash, but it's a lot of those people.

The commercial sucks, but no worse than a trillion others. But people got fixed on it like they did with the whole Cal Arts thing.

Its because of this. It feels like theyre assuming the vast majority of us are Pixar simping morons, when I hate corporate bullshit Disney kid films. I saw this and immediately thought oh I haaaaate this

Have you people ever actually seen a Pixar movie? Comparing that to Pixar is a shame and a crime. Get a set of eyeballs and use them.

This. The GrubHub characters aren't nearly as off-putting as the humans in Toy Story 1.

It's a dumb, obnoxious commercial but it doesn't make me "angry," or atleast no angrier than any other shitty commercial does.

The thing that rubs people the wrong way about it, including myself, is that it definitely gives off "old boomer corporate people attempting to seem hip to younger audiences" vibes. This and the fact they pull it off quite poorly results in some strong cringe.

dont know. first time i've actually sat and watched the commercial. maybe its because they've got a bunch of animated fat people selling a service that primarily deals in delivering fast food? alternatively it could just be that its stupid.

Now this is a corporate art style commercial. GrubHub vid just looks like every other generic CG cartoon from the past decade.

Lmao I see these ones all the time, but out here in the southwest, Kroger stores are Fry's Food & Grocery (yet the Kroger name is still everywhere on products in-store). As stupid as they are, it's funny to see the OG Kroger version.
