This commercial is meant to be funny, and in a way it is as it follows cause and effect, but it's also kind of offensive as well.
Man's cable bill rises, so he goes to the gym to blow off steam Gets hit in the eye and so wears an eyepatch. People with eyepatches are supposed to be tough. (Really - that went out with pirates!) So he's riding on a bus, and a couple of skinhead white guys covered in tattoos look at him, chase him, beat him up, and leave him in a roadside alley.
We see the guy's head move, so apparently he hasn't been stomped into a coma, but he is lying with his legs a little crooked which makes one wonder if his back is broken and he'll ever walk again...
Just the kind of imagery that we don't need in a world where everyone's reaction to the most innocent things seems to be a violent one, and a prolonged violent one, at that.
