So while axe comercials are usualy pretty offensive, does this make anyone feel...uncomfortable?
this borders a bit too closely to blackface for me.

Also, I'm not sure there is much to discuss or debate here and you should feel bad for that title.
Except he's you know, entirely black...with over exagerated white eyes and teeth...kinda like...
there are a great many reasons to be offended by Axe commercials... but I think you might be reaching a bit on this one.
So a guy who sprays on axe, and then becomes darker with over exagerated teeth and eyes, who suddenly becomes irresistable to a bunch of white women, and you don't think there's any subtle hint of race to be had?
You're right, and Shrek is racist for the inclusion of the Gingerbread Man.
Just like black people.

so like...this?
Cmon, someone had to of thought of this.
I missed the part of shrek where the gingerbread man becomes lifelike and has a bunch of white women licking him
My point is that being of brown color and having exaggerated features does not make it racist. The features aren't even very exaggerated, they just make it obvious that he's made out of chocolate.
Have you seen things which are made from chocolate?
Also there is a difference between not being very exaggerated, and not being exaggerated at all. Fallacy olol!
I find Axe products offensive.
What is that one ad by another company that lampoons Axe body spray?

I also don't think this is an American commercial, based on the spanish text at the end. Other places don't have the same kinds of views that we do with things like this.
Btw, this isn't black face. There's no over exaggeration of the lips. That's a part of the black face look.
I have never seen this.
I hope it's something crazy like PETA.
the body spray is "chocolate". A man sprays it on himself, turns into chocolate. Why I never-
No white eyes or white teeth there?
Structurally the character looks caucasian, but just made out of chocolate. Stop it.
It's airs in america. I saw it on adult swim.
Yes, because that is the only type of chocolate bunny which has ever existed... bravo!
Oh.
Either way.
You're reaching. It's not black face, and it's not offensive.
I still want to know why you people find AXE commercials offensive.
Yes my eyes bulge out like that too. Most white peoples eyes bulge out like that.
And that is exactly what a rabbit looks like. Exactly.
Is it really?
The fact that you don't find Axe commercials offensive is, in and of itself, offensive. Seriously, how can you not find them to be utterly reprehensible?
Man, look at that last one. Forced into manual labour. Easter is basically supporting slavery.
And finally, racist white chick hates blacks so much she eats their face

I mean honestly, look at this. That makes me laugh every time. It's not serious at all.
