It wouldn’t be a big deal if it didn’t exist in a world where baristas aren’t considered professional and the running joke is that “if you can’t get a job elsewhere (because you’re lazy, rude, too hip, or inept) just work at your local coffee shop”. I have people all the time talk down to me because I’ve chosen to work in specialty coffee. Samsung–being the super large company they are, with an advertisement budget of more than the entire specialty coffee world’s pittance–wouldn’t have put that line in there if they didn’t think it would strike some resonant chord within its viewers. So yeah, Samsung can definitely go “expletive deleted” themselves. Straight garbage.

In addition to the jab at baristi, there’s the whole issue of negatively portraying a group of people to draw them into buying a phone… total disconnect. I don’t want to be made fun of so much that I buy somebody’s product.

Nevermind all that, check out the moves on the Mattress Ranch spot! Old dude frickin moo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooves like Jagger. Outro like Paltrow…Hmmm, begin assimilation into lexicon.

I think its paying out hipster sheep rather than barista’s. Chill. It’s a pretty funny ad.

I hope I’m missing some sarcasm here. I kinda agree with the commercial though, they seem to be bashing hipsters, not barista’s, which is something every hipster (barista or no) should be able to enjoy!
