TurboTax goes underwater for their latest tax commercial featuring a gay couple. Oh no, honey baby, this isn’t their first homo-rodeo. They’ve been working the tax runway for ages, queen! A tax commercial airing last January showed a clip of a gay wedding and a year later these tax gurus still have their finger on the pulse of what’s legal (taxes) and naughty (gay stuff).
Dude, Where’s My Boat? I don’t know if we can call the two guys in the commercial dudes; Would they want to be called dudes or is that too fratty? Either way, these men are not just gay. They’re also dumb. Can I say that? I know LGBTQ+ people are untouchable but I promise I’m not a homophobe for saying these gents are a few Bud Lights short of a 6-pack and it’s completely unrelated to their gayness. See if you can catch their stupidity in the ad below called “Boater Home”…
Young, Dumb, and Broke. I like the title “Boater Home” although I would’ve called it a “Floater Home,” but clever titles aside, a home like this is one of the dumbest ideas for these first-time owners. Their happiness is about to be as underwater as they are. Say hi to the Titanic for us, will ya? Adding to their dumbness, a dolphin squeaks and Andre asks Doug, “Was that a shark?” The answer: “Yes.” This is dumb for a couple of reasons. One, the location of this home is unlikely to have sharks, or dolphins for that matter (see The Location below). Secondly, even a toddler knows what a dolphin sounds like and sharks don’t make noise. Hello, didn’t Doug and Andre watch Free Willy!? Oh wait, that was a whale. Haven’t they seen The Meg!? Shoot, that was a megalodon. Anyway, gay people everywhere should be offended that Turbotax thinks they could possibly be this dumb.
The Location. Did you know these kinds of floating homes are a real thing? I didn’t either until this commercial. The ad was shot on the Fraser River in the Vancouver area of Canada. Check out the location on Google Maps and in the screen grabs below.
Doug and Andre are pretty much up a creek without a paddle. Can you imagine watching them try to get to shore from their floating home? Talk about entertaining! I’d love to see a follow-up to this ad with the pair panicking as they try to start a boat motor. Especially with all the squeaky sharks swimming around.
