00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Michael Knowles here, host of the eponymous Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:05.720 2020 has been very confusing. Got a lot of mixed messages this year and somehow
00:00:12.440 corporate America has made it even more confusing because they've been airing these
00:00:17.800 woke commercials that are just selling leftist politics. You don't even know what product they
00:00:23.280 are selling, the actual physical product until the very end when maybe sometimes they tell you,
00:00:28.720 they don't even do that. A lot of you have sent in some great woke commercials for me to view and
00:00:35.100 then try to guess what product they're selling. I don't have a great record on that. I think I'm
00:00:38.860 like three for 14 or something, but nevertheless, we keep trying. I don't think these companies are
00:00:43.900 going to stop moving into 2021, rather, especially if they continue along this political path where
00:00:50.420 you get Joe Biden and you get all these awful sorts of people. So make sure to keep sending
00:00:56.480 those commercials in. Post in the comment section, which commercial you think is the most woke
00:01:02.860 commercial of the year. Without further ado, here are my absolute favorites from 2020.
00:01:09.900 Number eight. Hey, the guy's a boss. The woman is bossy. Oh, yeah. Poor women. 1.00
00:01:19.020 Anyway, one of these feminism commercials. Okay, so he's persuasive. She's pushy. Yeah, that's it. 0.90
00:01:26.920 Women have it so hard in this country. That's why they live longer and make up most college 1.00
00:01:31.760 students, right? Because of how hard they have it. You know, she's selfish. 1.00
00:01:38.660 Neat and vain. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we never give women credit for their physical beauty. No, never. Not in this 1.00
00:01:44.920 country. She's a show-off. Yeah, wow. Gosh, it's hard out there for a lady today. 1.00
00:01:54.720 I have no idea. Don't let labels hold you back. I have no idea what this is. Be strong and shine.
00:02:05.980 Pantene Brophy. Not even a hint. Number seven. Not everybody wakes up happy.
00:02:13.980 It's true. Sometimes you feel sad, scared, crappy. Yeah. Oh, this is going to be a wrap. I can sense it.
00:02:22.960 All I ask is that you let me feel my way. 0.78
00:02:28.660 Oh, the woman's called a spanking. This is a panty net. 1.00
00:02:32.620 Can't wait to leave this close-minded town.
00:02:36.020 Oh, rural America. Bad city school.
00:02:38.880 I'm a creep. I just told him to go f***ing south. 0.99
00:02:43.000 She seems lovely. 0.96
00:02:43.860 When I'm feeling weird or unhappy, not all angry.
00:02:49.860 This is, like, very generically liberal.
00:02:53.620 I don't know what it is. It's not just, like, only feminist or something. 1.00
00:03:00.860 It's like a moving company.
00:03:02.380 Leave my suit alone.
00:03:04.520 I'm never moving out of my parents' home.
00:03:08.840 Just got ghosted.
00:03:11.020 Should have known.
00:03:13.040 Pretty sure.
00:03:13.860 I'm going to say it's something like a moving company, because it's all about moving and leaving.
00:03:16.580 You say I'm too young to raise my baby girl. 1.00
00:03:19.240 Take your opinions and suck it, world. 1.00
00:03:21.860 It's actually kind of nice that she raised the kid and didn't do abortion or something like that. 1.00
00:03:29.540 It's kind of, it's pretty good.
00:03:30.700 They think it's woke, but it's not.
00:03:31.820 It's actually pretty conservative.
00:03:34.860 Throwing his phone away.
00:03:36.460 I'm still going to stick with, like, a moving something.
00:03:43.900 Long commercial.
00:03:44.600 No one is happy all the time, and that's okay.
00:03:49.760 Stop it.
00:03:50.840 Stop.
00:03:51.860 Is that a Burger King?
00:03:57.500 It is Burger King?
00:03:58.680 I guess a Happy Meal?
00:04:00.120 Like a, I guess there's a tie-in there?
00:04:02.680 Oh, my gosh.
00:04:04.160 And then at the end, Burger King supports the work of mentalhealthamerica.net.
00:04:08.320 That, you know, I got to tell you, there's something very distasteful about that.
00:04:11.460 I like the pun of it's a Happy Meal and no one's happy all the time.
00:04:15.660 But to exploit people who are going through, like, clinical depression and who are feeling suicidal,
00:04:20.460 suicidal to sell a cheap hamburger.
00:04:24.920 Number six.
00:04:25.680 They said I was too pretty to fight.
00:04:28.220 Now, she can't fight.
00:04:29.340 You're going to mess up that beautiful face.
00:04:31.060 They said I was too fat.
00:04:32.560 Only skinny girls can dress well. 1.00
00:04:34.040 I don't speak that language, something about being loyal.
00:04:38.500 They said my nose was too prominent.
00:04:41.220 They said I was too masculine.
00:04:42.740 They thought the catcalling was a compliment.
00:04:44.600 He said, you can fix those teeth quite easily. 0.99
00:04:47.140 Boyish and ugly. 0.99
00:04:48.640 When they were talking about female, they weren't talking about me. 0.99
00:04:51.060 This was not pretty.
00:04:52.300 They would holler from across the street.
00:04:53.980 Look sophisticated.
00:04:55.200 Embarrassing nose.
00:04:56.260 Too chubby.
00:04:56.820 Was too skinny.
00:04:57.740 Manly.
00:04:58.240 Crazy hair.
00:04:58.920 Never looked good.
00:04:59.520 Too wild.
00:04:59.860 Too cute.
00:05:00.140 Too beautiful. 0.97
00:05:00.760 Too fat. 0.94
00:05:01.200 He said.
00:05:01.640 They said.
00:05:02.020 She said.
00:05:02.540 I said, no way.
00:05:04.180 You aren't me.
00:05:05.780 I'm me.
00:05:06.620 I'm not going to be defined by anyone's expectations.
00:05:09.720 I don't dress my age.
00:05:11.180 I dress myself the way I am.
00:05:13.740 Because my face has nothing to do with my boxing.
00:05:16.440 I'm ranked number one in the country and number two in the world.
00:05:18.980 As a fashion blogger, my style is 100% on a public.
00:05:22.000 Fashion.
00:05:22.720 I don't want to change my team.
00:05:23.960 Nothing they've said has meant anything.
00:05:26.860 It's like, I'm not you, I'm me.
00:05:28.460 This is my hair.
00:05:29.820 My beauty.
00:05:30.660 My beauty.
00:05:31.540 My beauty.
00:05:32.520 My say.
00:05:36.620 I have no idea.
00:05:39.740 I don't know.
00:05:46.560 I don't know.
00:05:49.100 They've only said platitudes.
00:05:51.020 My beauty.
00:05:51.800 My say.
00:05:52.740 What?
00:05:54.200 Like, what?
00:05:57.140 Oh, man.
00:05:58.200 That's.
00:05:59.160 It's like.
00:06:00.020 There's this.
00:06:00.880 There's this click hole advertising campaign.
00:06:04.140 It was like, you know, one of these satirical things.
00:06:05.520 It was like, are you going to take the pledge?
00:06:07.500 Take the pledge.
00:06:08.440 I take the pledge for my community.
00:06:10.260 I take the pledge for my family.
00:06:11.500 I take the pledge for me.
00:06:12.560 Right?
00:06:12.740 And then you get to the end and there's not, they're not pledging anything.
00:06:14.740 That was this commercial, but unironically.
00:06:18.040 It's like, I'm me.
00:06:19.340 I'm not you and I'm not him.
00:06:21.220 I'm not my hair.
00:06:22.720 I'm not my kneecaps.
00:06:24.500 I'm me.
00:06:25.780 And me is I.
00:06:26.980 And I is the first person singular pronoun.
00:06:30.240 And we is the first person plural pronoun.
00:06:32.460 But I am not we, I am I.
00:06:34.900 Buy my shampoo.
00:06:37.100 Number five.
00:06:38.500 There once was a man who fell in love with his own reflection.
00:06:45.620 All day, he stirred into a pool, starving others of his attention.
00:06:53.200 As the weeks moved, he was glued.
00:07:00.360 Some thought he'd eat himself like food.
00:07:03.860 Is this selling like Barack Obama's next book or something?
00:07:06.180 Every inch improved.
00:07:06.840 Seems like a pretty apt description.
00:07:11.240 Until self-worship turned him into a gift.
00:07:18.120 A gift not just for him to treasure.
00:07:23.920 But a gift that brought the whole world pleasure.
00:07:30.220 And so I put this question to you all.
00:07:34.980 Does that not make self-obsession?
00:07:38.900 The most selfless act of all.
00:07:40.860 Do you love me?
00:07:44.860 What?
00:07:45.380 This is so creepy.
00:08:01.060 Make yourself a gift to the world.
00:08:04.640 Do you love me?
00:08:11.280 Equinox gym.
00:08:13.220 That was a gym.
00:08:13.840 You know what's so amazing about that?
00:08:16.380 As I thought there was going to be this really profound point about, you know, narcissism and our self-obsession as a culture, why that's bad.
00:08:23.800 You know, I thought they'd kind of cast right-wingers or something as self-obsessed, even though it would seem the left checks that box a little more these days.
00:08:32.460 But then it became an out-and-out defense of narcissism.
00:08:39.040 Number four.
00:08:39.740 This is not new.
00:08:43.340 This has happened before.
00:08:47.180 In every downturn and disaster in history, gender equality has been set back as women have stepped forward.
00:08:58.060 Oh, I thought this is not new as the masks, but now it's a feminist thing. 1.00
00:09:00.640 More of the frontline care, more of the pay cuts, more of the jobs lost, more of the responsibilities at home.
00:09:10.100 Keeping them from going back to paid work.
00:09:12.880 These times are not unprecedented, but they give us another chance for equality.
00:09:18.860 If we all choose to step forward as equals.
00:09:21.580 I have no idea.
00:09:22.620 Care equal.
00:09:23.860 Hire equal.
00:09:24.400 Pay equal.
00:09:26.040 Model equal.
00:09:27.240 Do equal.
00:09:28.580 Choose equal.
00:09:30.200 It's like a credit card.
00:09:31.180 I don't know.
00:09:31.580 This is like Hail Mary.
00:09:32.540 It's like a credit card.
00:09:33.300 I don't know.
00:09:33.800 For an equal future.
00:09:36.960 Ah, Procter & Gamble.
00:09:38.120 Wait.
00:09:38.820 Procter & Gamble, Gillette, I guess like all those companies.
00:09:41.640 You know, it was a total Hail Mary when I said credit card because it just had the font that you see in credit card commercials.
00:09:47.580 Number three.
00:09:48.940 Who said that?
00:09:51.280 The lady at the store.
00:09:53.160 That is not a compliment. 0.97
00:09:54.900 It's an ugly, nasty word. 0.94
00:09:56.620 And you are going to hear it.
00:09:57.940 Nothing I can do about that.
00:10:00.020 But you are not going to let that word hurt you.
00:10:03.040 It's like the N-word, I guess.
00:10:04.520 Yeah, J.I.D.?
00:10:05.480 Because, yeah, that's what happens all the time, right? 0.84
00:10:07.140 White people just always calling black guys the N-word. 0.96
00:10:09.160 All the time. 0.97
00:10:10.100 The only time you actually hear the N-word, by the way, is in rap music.
00:10:12.820 I'm a good driver.
00:10:13.440 Yeah, that's it.
00:10:14.100 Overt, horrible races.
00:10:15.680 Getting a ticket?
00:10:16.400 This is about you not coming home.
00:10:18.980 Oh, yeah. 1.00
00:10:19.340 Racist cops just slaughter innocent black people all over the country. 1.00
00:10:22.720 You know that. 1.00
00:10:23.480 Of course.
00:10:23.920 That's what always happens.
00:10:24.620 Okay.
00:10:27.100 I mean, statistically, it doesn't.
00:10:28.700 It happens like a dozen times.
00:10:31.080 You are beautiful, Peter.
00:10:32.060 Unarmed.
00:10:32.560 And unarmed, by the way, doesn't even mean not justified, but point for another time.
00:10:35.820 I'll never forget that.
00:10:37.820 Let's talk about the talk. 0.99
00:10:39.900 Racist cops. 0.97
00:10:43.000 Uh... 0.97
00:10:43.360 Did Procter & Gamble again?
00:10:44.600 Ah, I should have guessed that.
00:10:46.860 Number two.
00:10:50.620 Hey.
00:10:51.820 Hey.
00:10:53.180 You okay?
00:10:54.580 I'm good.
00:11:01.000 It could be a car commercial. 0.88
00:11:02.280 Are they lesbians? 1.00
00:11:08.660 I think they're lesbians, right? 1.00
00:11:10.000 Of course. 0.93
00:11:14.620 Could be like a home insurance commercial.
00:11:18.020 Look at you.
00:11:18.980 Hi, Mom.
00:11:19.620 Hi, baby.
00:11:21.420 Mom, this is Amy.
00:11:22.780 Oh, Amy.
00:11:23.480 Hi.
00:11:23.720 Hi, Amy.
00:11:26.060 Hey, Dad.
00:11:28.080 Hey, I'm Amy.
00:11:29.280 Hi.
00:11:29.460 Nice to meet you.
00:11:31.260 Are you hungry? 0.99
00:11:32.260 Oh, that white guy doesn't like the lesbian thing. 1.00
00:11:34.840 They jam. 1.00
00:11:36.180 Those darn white guys. 1.00
00:11:38.200 Oh, hi, Glenn. 1.00
00:11:39.220 Hi.
00:11:40.360 Hi.
00:11:41.140 Hi.
00:11:41.840 Good morning.
00:11:43.160 Good morning, guys.
00:11:44.140 Hi.
00:11:45.020 Hi.
00:11:45.220 Hi.
00:11:45.620 Hi.
00:11:46.020 Hi.
00:11:46.120 Hi.
00:11:46.540 Hi.
00:11:53.200 Nice to see you.
00:11:54.720 Oh, Dad's happy to see the straight kids. 1.00
00:11:56.600 He just doesn't like the lesbians. 1.00
00:11:57.840 Okay. 0.97
00:12:11.240 Okay.
00:12:11.720 Hey.
00:12:13.360 You totally have fun.
00:12:15.220 Hey.
00:12:16.000 Oh, my God.
00:12:18.060 Oh, my God.
00:12:19.280 You just wanted my help.
00:12:20.600 I know.
00:12:20.800 A white neighbor lady doesn't like it. 1.00
00:12:29.040 A white guy really hates the lesbian thing. 1.00
00:12:31.680 He's really not. 0.98
00:12:33.000 Here you go.
00:12:33.880 Happy birthday.
00:12:36.320 Hey, Dad.
00:12:37.540 Hey.
00:12:39.440 Night.
00:12:40.120 Night.
00:12:40.760 Good night.
00:12:44.380 It's kind of like over the top.
00:12:46.340 Even if there was a straight couple, like you're unmarried, you're like lying around kissing
00:12:50.760 each other in your parents' house.
00:12:52.140 It's not, like, really acceptable.
00:12:58.200 Sharing a bed unmarried?
00:13:00.140 You can't.
00:13:00.920 No wonder that Dad's upset.
00:13:02.800 What does he do it?
00:13:06.040 Dad.
00:13:09.060 It's like a movie.
00:13:10.060 I have no idea what.
00:13:11.140 It's like there isn't a product.
00:13:12.400 Did I do it right?
00:13:17.320 Oh, no.
00:13:19.980 I love it.
00:13:30.200 Do you like it?
00:13:31.020 A loving world starts with a loving...
00:13:32.480 It's a home insurance.
00:13:35.680 Show you're a proud parent.
00:13:42.400 Number one.
00:13:58.360 This will be...
00:13:59.360 The usual one is, like, the candy's poisoned.
00:14:02.800 So check your candy, right?
00:14:05.120 Maybe it's that.
00:14:06.080 It's probably that.
00:14:08.480 Oh, it's not candy.
00:14:09.620 That's a pumpkin.
00:14:11.200 Here we go.
00:14:12.400 All right.
00:14:16.680 First one changed.
00:14:17.400 It's an extra piece of candy.
00:14:18.680 Uh-oh.
00:14:19.760 I'm going to beat you.
00:14:21.160 I think I see where this is going.
00:14:24.940 It's like you can't do the different races of superheroes.
00:14:27.880 Is that right?
00:14:29.860 Yes, I did it!
00:14:31.960 Their costumes look awesome.
00:14:36.200 Oh, my gosh, I can't wait.
00:14:37.240 I did the costume.
00:14:37.940 I know.
00:14:38.960 Maybe it is the candy.
00:14:43.780 Greatest dreams!
00:14:45.100 Wow!
00:14:46.040 Look at you, too.
00:14:47.020 You look great.
00:14:48.140 Thank you.
00:14:48.960 Thank you for keeping our streets safe.
00:14:51.600 You're welcome.
00:14:53.020 What color is that?
00:14:54.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:14:55.840 Get him!
00:14:56.460 Oh, my gosh, my gosh!
00:14:57.660 Ah!
00:14:58.440 Now he gets me the candy.
00:15:00.020 Yeah, we do.
00:15:00.600 Okay, it probably is the candy thing again, right?
00:15:05.620 Like the people are poisoning the candy?
00:15:07.960 Oh, are you freaking kidding me?
00:15:23.500 They're going to trans the kids. 1.00
00:15:27.660 They're going to make us trans the freaking kids. 1.00
00:15:30.460 It's so creepy. 0.98
00:15:31.780 I can't even, I don't even, I have no further comment.
00:15:34.720 This is creepy, and whatever that is, society should do the opposite.
00:15:40.260 That's it for now.
00:15:41.300 The Daily Wire hopes you're having a terrific Christmas holiday.
