Really strating to hate this commercial.

The husband and wife have been accumulating Chase Points, and husband suggests they use the points to travel, entertainment venues, all options for the two of them.

She keeps saying "We can't".

Turns out she spent the points on a dress.

They both then smile.

What......... the......... fuuuu?

What is he getting out of the deal, other than taking off the useless dress and banging her? What a greedy, self serving beeotch.

To even things out, there should be a new commercial, with the wife suggesting ways of using their points and then have the guy say "I spent the points on cigars, porn, whiskey, and wife beater tee-shirts. Now turn around, you're about to learn anal."

Chase what matters.

I found myself talking to the TV on that one...

I think my wife even laughed.

Good 'ol advertising. Another Chase ad where the guy is sitting in the home-audio (hometheater) section of an electronics store, and he's wondering if he has enough money...er...I mean, credit...to buy it, and all he has to do is call Chase and ask for his available credit or bump his creditline up...chase *what matters.* "What matters" in our lives is available credit and toys? That's what the banks want us to believe.

aaawwwww but chicks are so CUTE when they are selfish!

I've found a new appreciation of that commercial now that I have the "Extra" footage in my mind.

I can barely even be in the same room when this commercial is aired.

Wow, another commercial where the man is played down to be stupid and easily tricked.

Do a count sometime. You'll vomit.

The chick also looks like a bad half Julia Roberts half Cindy Crawford genetic experiment.

#7.......I hear you. Actually this is a pet peeve of mine.

Emasculation is definitely a big part of advertisements targeting women.

How about the Chase commercial where the couple is sitting in their family room on the couch, not sitting together, bored, watching tv, as if their relationship is worn out....but when they go out and buy a NEW TV with their CHASE credit card, everything is right in the world, and they are all snuggled together on the couch....chase what matters.

This is one of about a dozen that just piss me off - I argue with the TV frequently (that's why I don't watch much TV). And, the cost of the dress vs the cost of the vacation - the dress doesn't look that good.

Most commercials do nothing but insult the American public's intelligence....................

...And she's not even hot. Just mildly attractive.

Yep..that dress commercial pisses me, too. Wait a minute....you spent SO MUCH F*CKING MONEY ON A DRESS THAT WE CAN"T TAKE A F*CKING VACATION NOW!!!???

That's when I call rfenst or pacman...not for divorce but to defend me at the trial.

I like 8Track's version of the commercial better.

I't funny I had the same thoughts you guys had watching this commercial. I would like to hear the female take on this or are we all just mcp's.

(deleted my politically incorrect post)

After careful consideration, it doesn't bother me in the least. Dagwood is my role model. Other tv male figures may be incompetent, whining, weak- minded peter pans but Dagwood is the metrosexual's hide your weiner, patron saint.

Despite what you may think due to a biased patriarchal system, women are the stronger and smarter sex at everything they do. If they ran the world, we would be better for it.

Excuse me, I feel convulsions coming on.

Actually, my wife is pretty smart. She stayed home with the kids, and convinced me to to have the career and be the breadwinner.

At least when the children where she works get out of line, she can discipline them. Not so where I work...

Win, win, for the ad team.

Product recognition and here we are talking about Chase commercials.

I thought the same way as 8track when I first saw it. Then I rationalized that the dress was purchased for the vacation....women.

In reality, everyone knows that men are usually more fiscally responsible and women/wives are not so, these commercials are geared to women to make them feel all warm inside and encourage their fiscal irresponsibility. ;+)

Jpotts, both sexes have their gifts. No doubt about that. My wife handles medical minutiae & business number crunching much better than I could ever have.

Having said that, when it comes to the business world- assessing "challenges" & problem solving, getting to the bottom line, marketing/closing, and just simply communicating effectively WITHOUT "skirting" issues or bs'ing their way through it with irrelevant data- IMHO, the men usually win hands down.

Not a slam per say, just the facts based on my working experience in various industries.

"Despite what you may think due to a biased patriarchal system, women are the stronger and smarter sex at everything they do. If they ran the world, we would be better for it."

I agree with you 100%, Blood. My fiance is waaaaaaaaaay smarter and waaaaaay more organized than I will ever be. My problem with the commercial is that it portrays the woman as being so superficial that she will blow an azzload of cash on a dress. Truthfully, do any of us have a wife or girlfriend who would do that? I can see one of us blowing a bunch on cigars before I would see any woman being so frivolous. MOST women are just not wired like that...especially when they get a little older.
