AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!  Cry  Angry  Dead  Commercial-land people: STOP eating while you are talking!  Does anyone learn table manners anymore?  How disgusting.

I admit, I'm OCD when it comes to people talking while eating, making smacking noises/etc. while eating, but this ad just grates my nerves.

I'm sure they know the man is staring at Michael Jordan is because he's famous.  I bet he gets that a lot.  The guy beside MJ arrogantly asking the other passenger to show his collar without saying why, as if he's a dog/child, is extremely rude and ridiculous.  Just who does that?  And who cares if the collar is wrinked?  Get a darn iron!
Welcome to Commercial Land. This is a magical place where all women look up while eating, and it is perfectly acceptable to slurp the hell out of a Dannon yogurt cup.

Bacon neck?  I didn't realize wrinkly t-shirt collars were such a problem for men that they need specially designed shirts.

By the time my t-shirts get "bacon neck", they're also faded and stained and in my pile of shirts to wear while working in the yard.  Even then, I've only had a few shirts like that.  I don't know why someone who's otherwise decently dressed would get on an airplane wearing that.
 
Then again, it's better than what this guy wore on a US Airways flight last week:

That one, on top of the fact that it's annoying, doesn't even make sense! It was literally, "Nobody does ___ in real life," followed immediately by him doing ___.

Exactly.  "Your commercials annoy me because nobody does that in real life!  Now I'm going to proceed to do the exact thing I'm claiming nobody does in real life!"  It's so unrealistic and stupid.

But that's the whole joke!  He talks about what people "in commercials" do, and since this is a commercial (even though he doesn't "realize" it), he immediately does it himself! 

I actually don't mind this series of commercials.  They're reasonably clever and the main guy and the bacon neck guy are kind of funny.

Same here the guy has a face made for being punched. And really what the hell kind of man actually pays that much attention to another man's shirt? Geez I'll bet the next commercial is gonna have that douchecanoe in the bathroom checkin' out the other dudes' undies.

"Lean forward and show MJ your shirt" "See how bad this dude looks"

Well excuse me complete douche bag, I had no idea we have to look good for a washed up NBA player who hawks underpants.
It's ok, I'm in marketing!

I'm disturbed by him waving his crotch all haphazardly at MJ.

@hezdancer. I doubt they are trying to make it seem like the guy is trying to say that the bacon neck guy should look good for MJ, hen was just using him as an example of bad neck band, I don't think they were trying to say anyone has to look good for an old NBA player that where hands inside and out ,honestly how good lookig you think Hanes can make you? And you really think anyone Cares about MJ thought? LOL just saying ,,, I don't think they are saying or implying we must portray any level of good looking clothing or looks to MJ.

ALSO what irritates me isnthe rudeness of putting Ones feet up on the chair while he is talking to MJ that bothers me because I lived in Thailand and they do NOT use there feet for anything it has to do with religion and respect. I know we are in the USA I know this, but I have developed a sensitive stance towards it, basically wouldn't you think it's rude if some douchebag came up and put his shoes and feet on your arm rest? Just sayin'
