Everything about this is stupid. Also, are they supposed to be singing this terrible music in the background? Are they under the impression Shakespeare is opera? It isn't, nor are there, to my knowledge, virtually ever musical numbers in his plays.
Is watching a play with a woman some assault on your masculinity? Do they say "Oh they got some men came to pop moist meat into my mouth in my time of need"?
Why are the actors wearing a bunch of makeup like that? They're not worrying about stage lights, it seems very unlikely they'd want to wear that outdoors.
"We need something meatier". You know, more meaty than dried meat. Water and salt will make it meatier, and not just probably less meaty and more salty.
This is a loathsome piece of garbage.

I love the KFC commercial with the 5 dollars from the grandma. Mainly because of the saddest man alive eating a sub.

There are a couple of songs in Shakespeare, with Feste's songs from Twelfth Night the first to come to mind but not like that, no.

I'm not kidding. Just get Big E or Roman Reigns to do Slim Jim commercials in the style of the '90s wrestlers ads.

For some reason Slim Jim has always kind of come off as rather anti-intellectual in their commercials. Probably not intentional, but you can make the joke that you might need to be lacking in some critical thinking skills to eat 'em and not think about what goes into it.

I gotta be honest with you, I think you're reading WAY too much into a Slim Jims commercial. Next you'll be telling me that snapping into a Slim Jim won't make nearby light bulbs explode, making the sign I made for a local store completely unnecessary.

Let's think of good Slim Jim commercials that are connected to Shakespeare.
ART THOU BORED?

Oh good lord, I can't stand this campaign. I'm not exactly a effeminate little snowflake, but I'm also not insecure enough to run to the store and stuff my face full of your jerky just because I was moved by a sad scene in a film.
Macho didn't do that, he burst through the wall and rescued people from boring and bland situations with the excitement of Slim Jims. He wasn't passing judgment on his customers the way these paramedic goofs are.

I thought it was... well funny isn't the right word. Whimsical maybe? Not amusing... Not grating though. Certainly didn't get from it what you did, I thought it was harmless. I'm low brow seemingly.  |

Nah, it's not that. I think what pissed me off about it was that the ad ran CONSTANTLY for a while. I forget if I kept getting it on youtube or when watching TV, but it would have just rolled off my back without me really caring much if it was just a few times. Seeing it again and again is what made me pick it apart, since I didn't have much else to do while I sat through it. |

^See I feel you on that, there was this mechanic commercial with people imitating broken engine noises and it makes me want to either stick a corkscrew in my ears or throw the corkscrew through the tv. Just whichever will alleviate my anger/ear-irritation faster.

Just whichever will alleviate my anger/ear-irritation faster. I am glad it finally stopped but I used to get one on youtube constantly where a baby was gumming on a laptop. Just, it showed over, and over, and over again, every ad break. Absolutely disgusting noise, too. Babies are cute, but them slobbering on things, not so much. |

The current Slim Jim "Yes-No" commercials aren't any better, either. They really suck.

No joke, I was getting gas at Quiktrip and I thought about grabbing a Slim Jim, but then I thought of this commercial and I grabbed a bag of Jack Link's instead. Eating them now, they're damn good.
