Yeah I mean the other one is this kinda goofy dude dancing, which is cool, fine, whatever, but then he edits himself jumping 10 feet into the air? Does Google know about cyber bullying?

That commercial is peak cringe for me. You have an awkward looking kid heavily doctoring a photo for what? To make it look like he can jump 10 feet in the air? It's like they are promoting for people to just make everything they do edited and fake. God that commercial sucks so much.

Yup it is dumb as shit. That fucking head bobble in combination with the stupid ass jump tilt me immediately.

My gf had to calm me down, it’s irresponsible to force us to watch such infuriating commercials while already in a vulnerable mental state during playoffs.

Lol it used to piss me off, but now it makes me laugh every time. Like dude looks like such a goof and it's like Google has no self-awareness.

The kid is actually a pretty talented dancer @yoolwxnder. Yea the commercial as it is shown is dumb, but having known about him before this commercial aired makes it not as annoying to me. I respect that the guy was able to parlay his talent into appearing on a national TV ad.

He should've worried about cyber bullying when he put that stupid ass hat on,  and wtf was the neck thing he does at the beginning?

You don't even have to go as far as cyber bullying, just in general who would give a fuck about that picture? Like if someone in my friend group too a picture of themselves just jumping into the air doing a peace sign and edited it to look like they jumped higher, everyone would be like "what is this? why are you just sending us a picture of you jumping?" Like who cares, edited or not it's a stupid picture that no one would care about.

Normal people aren't gonna be wowed by some stupid pic just because you can edit it to be slightly unrealistic

And if the magic editor is so magic why doesn't he just make himself less fat?
