note, too, that the gundam cgi shit is also going on on main dude's shirt, which means it matches the background, which means it's like bright lime green or something

We produced this commercial for Red House Furniture as part of our web series, "Custom-built, Micro-Budget Commercials for MicroBilt Customers".

Thanks to all of the guys at Red House for being such great sports. Help em out by referring a friend in the High Point NC area, or drop by the store yourself to meet Richard, Johnny, and the gang!

To address the controversy around this video: We knew this video was going to be controversial. Anytime race is discussed in any capacity, controversy ensues. The racial reconciliation concept was a joint effort between the Red House staff and us. They pointed out the fact that their employees and customer base were like the "Rainbow Coalition", and we thought something with a comical racial reconciliation theme would be fun, as well as a conversation starter.

For those of you who think this video is racist, we'd like you to distinguish between "racist" and "racial". Racism is "hatred or intolerance of another race or other races." Racial is "of, relating to, or based on a race". This video is very obviously racial as opposed to racist. This video doesn't promote or feature hatred or intolerance. Rather, it's the very opposite. This commercial promotes inclusion and reconciliation, if not in a comical way. To point out the obvious, the irony in this video is that it's completely ridiculous for people to relate furniture to their race. People of all colors are welcome at the Red House, which is something that is taken for granted today, but there was a time in the not-so-recent past during which things as simple as a water fountain were NOT for everyone.

If Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, or Dave Chappelle for that matter, were to address racial issues in a comical way (something that they all do VERY regularly), they would have pushed the envelope MUCH further.

Discussing race in the US is taboo. It always makes people feel uncomfortable. We think it's a shame that someone saying "I'm white" or "I'm black" creates such a stir. There are real cultural identities within different people groups, and these things should be celebrated and embraced, not swept under the rug.

This video is an attempt to use humor to spark a discussion about race issues, because we still have a long way to go.

In other words:
The staff of a furniture store was geniuinely proud of the diverse racial makeup of their employees. Two guys volunteered to make a video intended to give the illusion of being a "bad" commercial so it gets passed around as ironic and hilarious for the Ron Paul supporters who read 4chan.

AT THE REEEEEED HOOOOOUSE

proxymuzak (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 1 May 2009 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link

from this point forward, posting a Rhett And Link video should be received with the warm welcome of recommending a Snorg tee in Ethan's T-shirt thread.

i just like the part at 0:20 where the guy says he likes pumpin furniture into homes but now i am a ron paul supporter who reads 4chan :(
