This Zooey Deschanel Apple commercial #1

Holy hell does this commercial suck/piss me off. I mean right off the bat, I'm like, "A Zooey Deschanel Iphone commercial? Jesus Christ Apple, try a little harder". Anyways, here's Zooey Deschanel in her PJs, "Hey Siri, is it raining outside"? She then goes and looks out the window. I just don't understand. Go look out the fucking window first. What a start though, the perfect way to transition in to her desire to have fucking Tomato Soup delivered. "Hey Siri, find me a place that delivers Tomato Soup". The canned variety just won't suffice. Delivery soup? Tomato soup at that. What the fuck is this? I ain't even gonna front regarding her desire to stay in via the rain/not where real shoes because who honestly wants to do either? To cap it off, she tells Siri to turn on some obscure blues/rock song from the 50's to dance to. Way to perpetuate your "indie", "kewl", brand Zooey! Truly a match made in hell, this commercial. Who is this appealing to? Why does it need to exist? Is "indie" even "kewl" or "relevant" anymore? Shit's gotta be stopped though, and I've got to stop it. Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm going to Waffle House for lunch, def-def-definitely.

edit: Quick Twitter(I feel dirty)/Tumblr search confirms that people like/fall for this shit. This is the worst.

I absolutely detest actors doing commercials of any kind. I'm not talking about struggling actors, I'm talking about established actors. It's not like her or Sam Jackson need the fucking money. It strikes me as being greedy and a shill.

Apparently so. Seems that some haven't heard of anything that's not from the 90's and up. Sad too because there is a lot of older music that is damn good.

Watch the snl zooey deschannel being quirky skits. They are hysterical, and even moreso now. It's like Apple was trying to prove their point.

Not only do people fall for it, but a huge proportion of the people I know base their entire lifestyle off of this advertising. Be "indie," wear ugly sweaters in the summer, filter your pictures with instagram, get weird-ass haircuts (like shaving half of your head or something to show that you're bold and daring), and proceed to stick it to the man by buying as many overpriced Apple products as possible. It sickens me, to say the least.

I'm not a Zooey hater. It's just her schtick goes way overboard. She doesn't need an Apple commercial to perpetuate her brand. She's already "indie". Hell, she is "indie".

I'm one of the few biggest fans of her Cotton commercial that I know. So good. Tone it down though bb.

The content of the commercial is meaningless, the only purpose is having Zooey Deschanel in it since she's super popular right now.
