Well, I love great commercials too. This wouldn’t be one of them.
The supposed shock/irony/parody value of watching stereotypical bourgeois suburban white families doing mock (or perhaps just poorly done) rap wore off for me in about 1984. Watching this video was the intellectual equivalent of listening to fingernails on blackboards for 30 seconds. Yeah, I know the video is two and a half minutes, I endured all I could stand…
One of the reasons I liked it was because, unlike what you saw in the ’80s, these guys actually were good. Which is a good part of the charm and humor. (The ’80s comedy stuff was intentionally bad; these guys were intentionally good but in an ironic way.)

Well, we’ll just have to agree to having different ideas of what constitutes “good”. I found it to be predictable and derivative.
#1. She’s hot.
#2. What’s she doing with a mope like him?
#3. (Yes, I know it’s a commercial….)
She totally is hot! I’ve seen the dude before but I have no idea who the lady is.
