That's an absolutely awful commercial. It's trying to win over iPhone customers while simultaneously portraying them as shallow douchebags. Um, okay. Yeah, that will bring iPhone users over in droves, Samsung.

Well, if they really aren't douchebags, they'll realize where they're mistaken. And if they are, well good riddance I guess. Who wants douche customers, it's bad for business.

Businesses don't care if a customer is douchey. They only care if they have money. Insulting potential customers is not a solid business plan. This commercial plays like self-congratulatory nonsense. People who have Android phones and like them will chuckle while owners of other phones will say "what a bunch of dicks".

This isn't unlike those awful Mac/PC ads from years ago where Apple caught a lot of flak for basically insulting potential customers.
