I have seen a trend in commercials, where the guy is made to look stupid.
Some examples:
In the Bud Light commercial, the King announces that "we are under attack" only to be corrected by the queen the ships sailing towards them are here to celebrate.
In a State Farm commercial, the teenage age boy explains about an accident (at least he is smart). The mother, in bed, without so much as a glance at the father who is
also in bed tells the boys his punishment for getting into an accident.
In a Lysol ad, the man puts the plunger he just used to unclog a toilet on the kitchen counter.
There are are examples.
