The guy in this Lexus commercial is gay right?

Oh, Mary, please.

“Alexa, play my dance playlist”

Bingo!

I’m surprised the car didn’t burst into flames.

I like this form of advertising.

"Crafted to make every journey FABULOUS."

That, plus the shitty music = gaygaygaygaygaygay. And he was so cute in teal and pink. It's a gay car for gay men.

Are we supposed to embrace straight advertisers' stereotypes of us? The only positive thing is that it could have been worse.

subtly pandering to every straight person's stereotype of a gay man, so yeah, he's gay.

If the daaaance didnt give it away the fabulous at the end made it obvious this is targeting wealthy gays.

Subtly?

It's the Lexus HeyGurl Limited Edition.

It's called the Sport. 'Cause you know, he's one of you football gays.

Directed by film and music video director Joseph Kahn for the “Fierce demographic”

So they distinguish between "gay" and "LGBTQ." Thank God someone is paying attention.

I had to research this. I thought it was something from The Onion but it's real.

I don't know anybody like the fellow in this ad, except maybe Jack from Will and Grace. And he's fictional.

Thanks for the info R14, was seriously curious.

car is hideous

I want my next car to be a Lexus.

I, for one, am disgusted!

So they ad will be limited to gay ghetto media. Sorry, Toyota. Not impressed.

Does Toyota own Lexus? I can never keep those straight.

Gay voice for days.

Gay minstrel show.

He is supposed to have "gay voice for days," r23.

Instagays will have to get into even more debt for this

If there was a black equivalent to this, playing to every stereotype, Lexus would spend the next 20 years apologizing for it. I’m surprised they didn’t have a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. This “Queer Eye” bullshit isn’t how me or any of my gay friends live. I wear boots. I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee. And I’ll fuck any straight guy up in a fight.

Are you a lesbian?

No, I’m a masculine, dominant top.

Lexus=Toyota Infiniti=Nissan Acura=Honda

I was kidding, R29. You just lofted that softball up with the boots and Jeep so I had to hit it. I was waiting for you to say a flannel shirt, too.

All in good fun.

Cadillac = Chevy

No. Cadillac and Chevy are both GM.

What’s the fucking difference?

Is there a difference between a parent and a sibling?

The difference is in name only. If GM decided to call itself Chevrolet, it would be the same damn thing. Companies like Toytota, Honda, Volkswagen, Nissan and Ford just happen to have the same name as their main brand of cars.

If it wasn't clear before, it should have been by the word "Fabulous."

But would you FHH?

Not me. Too prissy and fake.

I won't be buying a Lexus after seeing that.

The announcer even said “fabulous” at the end with a bit of a fake lisp.

I'm surprised the director didn't make the actor wear tight pink shorts and a diamanté baseball cap just so there's absolutely no doubt.

There was already absolutely no doubt, r41.

No, he didn't, r40. No lisp.

If they went for the subtle/innuendo/subliminal that's a fail!

Calculated to put all masculine gay guys off Lexus for life.

I hear they've shot another version with a portly 60 plus actor in a caftan.

Lucky Lexus, r45.

That guy deserves a slap.

The lisp was very subtle, R43.

So subtle no one could hear it without their special "lisp" glasses on, r49.

r41, his huge hideous rings weren't enough?

I agree with R40. I can also hear the lisp.

Is "lisp" another of those words that mean one thing to millennials and something else to everyone else (like "based off of")?

Do built-in butt plugs come as standard on this model?

A lisp is a lisp.

Lithp.

Spanking sessions with Yuval.

Yeth, rfifty thicth, and thath exthactly what I failed to hear in that "Fabulous."

I see the Toyota PR team has arrived.

That's insulting and bigoted amos and andy type stuff

Wearing caftans and presenting hole, R59.

Won’t do Japanese cars

Because of Pearl Harbor, R62?

Are you waythist, R62?

This ad is homophobic!

The chairman of Lexus deserves to have his ass spanked for this.

You guys are bad…hilarious thread!

R62 here - no, I just don’t like Japanese cars - they are too gimmicky and I don’t like all the angles and weird shapes

Did you hear the lisp, R68?

It's not a lisp, it's a sibilant s.

Hissssssssssssss

Oh for fuck’s sake, he’s not meant to be gay. It’s whatever you’re projecting on to him. You also probably think the brothers on Supernatural are gay too or the leads in Team Wolf or the leads in Love Simon or Raj on Big Bang Theory or Fez on That 70s Show. Stop 👏🏻projecting 👏🏻your 👏🏻own 👏🏻wishful👏🏻 thinking 👏🏻onto 👏🏻straight 👏🏻characters!

Give me a break, R71.

He's gay AF!

[quote]He's gay AF!

And Fuck, as we all well know, can be pretty damned gay.

Poster Boy for The Gays = White Blonde Male.

R68's car:

Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea? Proves that people who work in advertising are idiots.

R28, R46 - you made me laugh!

Can't wait for the ad for a light truck marketed to lesbians. U-Haul optional.
