“Pricelessly Awful” And “Debased” — The Best Reactions To Go Daddy’s Super Bowl Commercial

You knew it was coming. You knew it would be sexist, womanizing, and perhaps offensive. What? The Go Daddy commercials during the Super Bowl. Here now, let’s take a look at how the world reacted to Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels needlessly painting a naked model to promote the web domain company. From “stale cheesecake” to “pricelessly awful,” it’s fair to say the ads weren’t exactly well received.

“Risk-taking, rule-breaking ideas were as hard to find among the more than 50 commercials as good taste in a GoDaddy ad. Yes, sad to say, once again GoDaddy served up stale cheesecake in the form of two commercials that exploited women in the guise of empowerment.” – The New York Times

“In a cheap-looking spot, GoDaddy body-paints a model and then asks you to go online to see more. I didn’t, and no one else in my house did, either—though, come to think of it, my brother went to the bathroom for an unreasonably long time, carrying his laptop.” -The New Yorker

“I think the ad that best summarizes how debased our excessive commercialism has made us is the Go Daddy commercial that features two women using another woman’s body as a billboard on which to write and draw the Go Daddy brand. There is something especially calculating about having two women do it to another woman — when you know the intended appeal of the ad is male voyeurism.” – The Baltimore Sun

“What would a Super Bowl be without a terrible Go Daddy ad, or two? Would not be a Super Bowl, that’s what. The incomprehensible appearance by Jillian Michaels was pricelessly awful.” – Newsday

“Come on, guys. Enough already.” – Gawker

“Is there an American male left who still goes to GoDaddy.com expecting to see a half-naked Danica Patrick? In a world filled with so much free Internet porn, why should we even care?” – San Francisco Chronicle

If you missed the ads (or for some ungodly reason, want to watch them again) here they are:
