The Best Responses to Peloton’s Ridiculous Holiday Ad

It’s the classic feel-good holiday tale: A husband wants his already fit wife to lose a little around the middle, so he gives her a Peloton for Christmas. She tries to be grateful, but appears mostly anxiety-ridden. She vlogs her forced fitness journey for a year, so that the happy couple can celebrate the following Christmas by reviewing her progress. Merry Christm(tone that as)s, honey!

But the real gift lies in the responses to the ad:

If my husband bought me a Peleton, I’d spend a year making selfie videos of me drying my bras on it.

Thanks for the laundry rack, dear!

So sweet. My husband was inspired by the Peloton ad to get me a pair of pants in a child’s medium and a handwritten note that says “Don’t fucking touch me till you can fit into these”

Awwww.

a peloton ad where the husband gives his wife a peleton and she sells it and has $2,000.

Now that would be a Merry Christmas.

This parody is way more true-to-life.

Finally watched the Peleton ad that everyone’s so upset about. I don’t see the issue. A beautiful woman trains for a year to murder her husband and pretends she likes him to draw him ever closer so she can sink a dagger into his throat. Seems pretty ad standard?

The missing plot twist.

The only comment I have on that Peloton ad is that there’s no way that child is vaccinated

Can’t argue with that.

🎶 Take me down to the Peloton city where the wives are lean and the men are shitty 🎶

Oh, won’t you please make me exercise at home.

i actually think that the real story of the ad is that she forgot to buy her husband a gift so she made a fake video compilation of all the times she allegedly used the peloton he got her last year

Here’s how you salvage the ad, Peloton.
