A French supermarket’s Christmas advert is going against the AI trend and it's a hit with millions of people around the world

Superbowl ads have been a pop culture phenomenon for decades.

There were dozens and dozens of TV ads back in the day that found their way into pop culture.

"Where's the beef!"

Budweiser frogs

Wasssuuuppp!

Old Spice's "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,"

The Crying Indian

I could go on all afternoon.

I've been watching Cannes Lions Awards for years, they show creative ads and most of them are hilarious.

How did instagram filters work before AI?

Tbh, I don't see the harm in this. Photobooth are a great use for gen AI. Not like someone was sitting in the booth drawing it by hand before that.

Is furry targeting a thing?

Fish are food, not friends!

Other animals can be racist too I guess.

Pescatarian is a pretty common restrictive diet, mostly just leaves out land meat. It's not generally a diet based on the same reasons for being restrictive as vegetarian or vegan. While some people can arrive at it ideologically, like this commercial is displaying, it's more commonly a conclusion people would choose based on health concerns rather than ideology. And from what I could read from the french I saw, it does seem like despite the depictions in the cartoon, the message is something like " it doesn't matter how you arrive at a healthy diet, as long as you make the effort" or something like that. So it seems like they are more concerned with health generally than ideology.

But if you want to get creative, here's an ideological explanation. The forest critters government has spent decades if not centuries grievously 'other'ing fish to the point that their populace doesn't think of them as animals anymore. And their sex education is so attrocious that until any individual animal sees it for themselves, they have no idea where babies come from. And by then they are so traumatised by what they have already done to and with eggs that they can't bring themselves to accept the truth, they gaslight themselves into thinking that was a freak occurence.

My thoughts exactly.

What about the eggs? I doubt those were willingly gathered.

The big deal is that they actually hired artists and recognize humans making things is important. Other big companies like McDonalds made AI generated slop for their ads.

You're not gonna believe this, but: Cartoonists can put whatever they want on the screen.

One time I watched a cartoon where this scientist turned himself into a pickle. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

It's furry

Setting aside the fact that wolves are obligate carnivores

They are not.
