Welcome to NZ where at least 40% of our advertising is puns and innuendo.
It increases to 70% when talking about tradespeople.
That explains these ads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbazGVrbN-g
??? There’s no innuendo here.
That's one of the greatest things I've ever seen, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the nightmares
Thank you! 🙏 I hate it.
Me too!
Everyone love cheese, crackers and normal people too.
I prefer "Saltine-American", thanks.

Perfect juneteenth ad placement
Boondocks had a whole episode on this
Yooooo, one time I was at work, it happened to be that everyone there at the moment was Latino or Black, and we were in a joking mood. So, we started to discuss White people stereotypes. It was nothing offensive, more like just clowning. Anyway, someone said that White people love cheese, and we all lost it. White people put cheese on everything! Mexicans do to tho, so they're not alone.
I had gotten stationed in California when I was 18 years old and saw some White dude in my platoon put cheese on his salad. That was so strange to me that I remember when and where I was when I first saw someone put cheese in a salad. Also, he put black beans in his salad too, and at that point, I was like, "Wtf is he doinggg‽"
Another fun story while I'm at it (not about White stereotypes). Back to the first job mentioned above, there were only 2 White dudes that worked there. One happened to be the boss (let's call him Brad). He was a sassy af gay dude that had been in the Marine Corps and deployed to Iraq, so this guy said whatever the hell he wanted. There was no filter. One time, Marco Rubio was planning to make an appearance at the place we were working at. Brad goes off saying that he's going to the ceremony because he owes Marco Rubio a fart. Allegedly, Brad was at the urinal in a public bathroom when Marco Rubio stepped out of a toilet stall, and while walking past Brad, paused and lifted his butt towards him and farted, then continued out of the bathroom. Brad was completely serious about it. Although, I dont know if Brad ever got to payback Marco.
Restaurant antipasto salad out here in cali got moz and chickpeas in it. I like that, but my mom fuckin puts cold baked beans on her salad. That's where I draw the line. That's some midwest white shit where I cannot follow.
I think the cheese stereotype is more of a economic thing. Good cheese can be expensive. Everyone I know loves cheese.
Yeah, cheese is delicious. I was just not raised to think of how I can incorporate cheese into everything. My thing is garlic🧄and lime 🍋🟩 🤤
To me, beans only go on rice. And baked beans are a no go for me. They're too sweet. I prefer them savory. My Appalachian friends love them tho. You know it's a party when someone shows up with baked beans 🎉
When I lived in Georgia, I always enjoyed listening to my black co-workers complaining about white people. Unlike when white people were talking about non-whites, where it was usually insulting stereotypes, the complaints about white people were quite fair and accurate.
❤️❤️❤️
They ain't wrong!
Looks like this was in New Zealand around 10 years ago. Wish I could have that ad to hang up at home!
Your dreams are only a print shop away! Those guys will put damn near anything in a poster print, just bring 'em a file.
Yes we do!
I do tho...
Hilarious that "cracker" is used in a derogatory manner. Especially given it's origins.
The origin of the pejorative use of cracker comes from the south where the poor whites could only afford to eat cracked corn porridge.
TIL. I always assumed it was because us whites were the color of saltines
It’s all about class warfare! The rich whites looked down on the poor whites with only slightly less disdain than the slaves. The crackers essentially ate animal feed, cracked corn. Why help out your fellow man when you can exploit them for profits and save some money!
Revisionism. When I was in school I was told it was because the poor whites owned a "cracker jack box of land."
In reality, cracker means "whip cracker." Also possibly just literally a type of soda cracker which is white, but these things tend towards both being true. Or what you told the whip crackers when they ask.
From your link: "The exact history and etymology of the word is debated."
Poor whites didn’t own land.
