This ad is pretty good, haha.

Celebrating people sitting on their butts and buying things that they don't need. Apple can be better than this!

I normally approve of most of Apple's ads, but this one just rubs me the whole wrong way!!

Seriously out of touch!

Oh boy. Enabling impulse buying and unfettered consumerism - now that's a great message.

Her new plate getting delivered. Now THAT would have been funny!

I think there are a thousand better ways to showcase the convenience of ApplePay.

The Wallet/Apple Pay/Apple Card/Apple Cash/Apple Savings complement of services is a killer app in the Apple ecosystem. While I appreciate the humor, they don't do the service justice with this commercial. Instead of emphasizing the benefits of Apple Pay, the ad inadvertently draws attention to two potential drawbacks: impulsive online shopping and FOMO.

And platforming morbid obesity, which is killing 50% of the country.
