Doritos: the kinky snack chips

[modernwizard]

Why? you ask. Just look at this ad for evidence!
 

The mere promise of Doritos can turn a red-blooded, macho, sports-loving, heterosexual man into a makeup-wearing, glitter-covered, pink-bedecked crossdresser who vogues like Madonna. It has the same power over his posse of equally red-blooded etc. dude friends too. I know it blows your mind to consider that anyone, much less red-blooded etc. men, would voluntarily revel in anything associated with femininity [ewwwwww, gross!], but Doritos make the humiliation almost worth it.

Ah yes, Doritos...for the ultimate in sissy play!

Somehow I don't think that's what they were going for.

I hope I'm not the only one who thought of the infamous catch phrase, "What would you do for a Klondike bar?"

For a more forgiving interpretation, perhaps the chips were the cover-excuse for getting to play dress up or just play with his daughter. It's a better excuse than "I just fell on it" when the ER tries to remove a foreign object from a patient's bum. (That's a terrible comparison, but my brain isn't working right now, and I have hospitals on the brain.)

In other news, that was a lovely beard on the guy wearing the wedding dress.

I can't accept your more forgiving interpretation because the girl clearly had to bribe her dad with Doritos to get him to play with her, which he clearly was much less enthusiastic about than observing sports with his buddies. :p

Re beard: yes, yes it was, and I don't normally like beards!

I would buy this commercial (and be a Doritos fan forever) if it had been a daddy proudly playing with his daughter, who uses a snack-food bribe to coax his non-child-having friends into playing along with dress-ups so they could have a full tea table.

This though? More of the same tired old "girls are boring and so is everything they like and dressing femmy is silly and humiliating, also, hanging out with your own young child, especially when she's female, is like, babysitting, which is FOR MOMS except under special circumstances that don't cut into BRO TIME."

There is nothing this culture hates quite so much as femininity.
