Not really, it doesn't have a point to make so it's really just a cheap grab for laughs.

I don't really "get" it, but the jungle/forest was so beautiful I would've wanted to run around naked in it too.

So it is funny but without a point?

Eve was sad, surprised and felt rejected and the man had no interest but was happy and laughed. This plays into the theory gay is natural and so if the first man was gay everyone else has these tendencies. In social theory this would be insulting for the reason of homophobia and biblically Adam as the original gay person might reflect homosexual temptation as innate but also be surprising to them because it portrays the original sin as being Adam which supports more feminist views perhaps by not blaming eve. The video is quite complex and has potential interpretations of many sorts depending on the viewers subjectively.

Pretty much, though it didn't have me rolling in the aisles.

Laugh snort. 8 people I know watched it and everyone laughed.

I didn't find it funny. I think the problem is that the punchline is given away by the title.

Even though Adam's initial bubbliness somewhat irked me (as I'm gay and thus have a knee-jerk reaction to stereotypes like that), I do find it somewhat funny.

Although I don't particularly get the commercial's intent. At first, I thought it was some kind of dating ad. :roll:

It was just dull, stereotyped and very clichéd.

Yeah maybe. But the whole Adam and Eve in the garden and Eve's reaction is very funny.

Given the social dynamics of it the whole video is so surprising and politically incorrect I don't think any side was preserved. The ad couldn't really take sides I don't think. Given all of the politics and social conflict over the issue I think the video could lighten things up. Most people in America would laugh I think but then the anger but anger would come from individuals from both sides while I think the majority laughing would finally calm the polar extremes. This ad needs to be on CNN or something as a social news item to speak about online.

Slightly stereotyped but even Jewish folks have comedians. The guy is obviously for real gay but a certain kind of gay that is very energetic in personality that combines at times with his sexuality.

Well stay on your butt, click the button and watch it which you likely already have but don't want to admit to it.
