Why do i find the Matthew McConaughey/Lincoln car commercials so unsettling?

Typically i don t pay too much attention to celebrity endorsements one way or the other! But for some reason these particular car commercials featuring Mathew McConaughey really have a strong NEGATIVE effect on me! But this question is not about the commercials themselves per say; instead im trying to comprehend WHY I FIND THESE COMMERCIAL SO OFF PUTTING? Why do i feel so mentally bothered or UNNERVED by these advertisements! I mean commercials are supposed to entice you into buying the advertised product! But even if i could afford to buy a lincoln these commercials totally fail at enticing me into wanting to buy one!

    Me too. He goes over to see friends/relatives...they all think he's the berries! He plays pool by himself ("ain't I just the thing?") and eventually pisses on the whole lot by escaping in his car...a nice Lincoln. You drive that car if you're very self-centered. It caters to that crowd.

    Idk But Lincoln had to about burn the car. They couldn't get his "manly smell" out of it. I bet his next contract will stipulate no interior car shots.

    Maybe because you are weird? There is never any explanation on why some commercials resonate with some people and not others (all Lincoln cares about is that they resonate with the people who can actually afford their cars).
