  • People! The point is, people use the term GAY to replace the words "Dumb" or "Stupid". Using gay in replace of those words is implying that gay is bad or wrong. When it's NOT wrong or bad!

  • That's so gay!!! I'll do wat I want hahaha (cartman) voice! Haha

  • this so godamn gay

  • This video is gay as hell

  • This video was made when I turned 12 years old. Just sayin'.

  • We live in times where we have to mind what comes out of our mouths, soon we will have to be carful what we think.

  • I guess I learned something today. Saying "That's so gay" is hurtful. From now on, I will replace it with "That's so retarded." That won't hurt anyone's feelings!

  • This is gay

  • Bloody stupid.

  • what the fuck happend when there was no gays, when everyone had bibles? i swear today is the most screwed up time in all of history..

  • all those commercials succeeded in doing is annoy me where the guy/girl says "knock it off". those commercials are so gay. and it's not homophobic to be unsupportive of gays. it's called being an individual, having your own mind. i hate when these special interest groups try to bully their beliefs on everyone.

  • fake and gay

  • GAY!!!!

  • The word "homophobia" is so gay.

  • it's bizarre that people feel the need to cling on to disparaging attitudes, no matter how much they believe they have changed the meaning of the word, or don't mean it negatively, or whatever. most people were raised homophobic, and are having a hard time relinquishing learned behaviors. calling things you don't like "gay" sounds upsetting to gay people. get it through your heads

  • That's so gay is actually a compliment, because gay people are awesome.

  • A lot of people argue that 'gay' doesn't mean stupid or lame. But honestly, if people want to take this word this literally;

    'Homosexual' isn't necessarily the original meaning of 'gay' either. It's only been a slang term for homosexuals/bisexuals. The true meaning of 'gay' (in this sense) is 'happy, bright'.

    As for my personal input?

    Depends on how it is used by the speaker, and how others...including gay people...take it.

  • well that was pretty gay 

  • @28AMurphy Videos don't have sexual orientation. Homophobic much?

  • @coolnot22336 im not homophobic this is just gay 

  • This is so gay.

  • That's so gay isn't that offensive though. I mean, I would think that the word gay in this sense is a different word all together from the term gay meaning "homosexual". Sort of similar to the positive way the word "Bad" was used in the late 80s even though it has always meant something negative up to that point.

  • everyone, i would like to refer you to the southpark episode in season 13 labeled "The F word"

    that is all.....

    dumbasses

  • I am offensive and this is gay. Nah, but really. This is gay. Why should I give up a good insult word? I don't mean it to insult actual gay people. In fact I use it to insult my strait friends. I call them fag or gay but I wouldn't call a gay person that just like I would not call a black person nigger. Stop being so butt hurt gay people, and stop trying to get brownie points you celebs and posers who don't really give a shit about the situation, we know you just want some bullshit cred.

  • @onexero1 believe me mate, the majority of us don't give two stuffs haha. I'm sick of all the old fags trying to make a big song and dance over ANYTHING that could be slightly interpreted as offensive.

  • @onexero1 you call your white friends "you're such a nigger?" that's interesting.

  • @hickster699 lol but that never happens, im straight and i've never heard anyone say "that's so straight". And i've never heard being straight used in a derogatory manner. So that example is invalid.

  • @SPRINGS02 exactly right... what is wrong with these people that don't get this?

  • @SPRINGS02 50 years ago if you used the word gay to describe homosexuality or better yet something negative/bad, people would look at you like..wth do you mean? believe it or not, there was a time when GAY meant joy, goodness, happiness.

  • @Ncorydb117 btw, i know your just saying that, just trying to say times change. by the way things are lookn, straight could mean gay another 50 years from now.

  • I actually just came here to see the ad.....

  • Comment removed

  • @ParraMacca Your comment is so unbelievably stupid that my brain had a hard time grasping your twisted logic. So you're implying that all gay people act like innocent victims, yet victimize straight people for being straight? Listen, buddy, I have no idea what delusional world you live in, but, Knock it Off.

  • Comment removed

  • this commercial just came on and i went on youtube just to post GAAAAAAY

  • Dayum that was so gay

  • @Mbombed

    Yeah funny that isn't it?

  • @jaydub73

    yes very

  • does 'that's so gay' mean 'that's so stupid'?

  • @SongsofInnocence yeah,basically. people say "that's so gay" to mean " that's so stupid," "that's so annoying" or "that's so dumb" amongst other things.

  • these commercials are stupid..... ok we get that people get offended..boo hoo get over it...... i was teased alot and heard things i didnt like but now it is like so what.....you let the little stuff get to you..then you wont ever really be happy

  • This commercial is fucking gay.

  • Using gay to mean stupid or bad came long after it meant someone who is homosexual. And the idea of it meaning stupid or bad is because it also meant a homosexual. So that is the difference.so people please stop it,it really hurts

  • I wish they played this on my school news...

  • I love Laurel Holloman in that ad. Go on, Laurel and other fellows!

  • The "That's so gay" ad should be played over the speakers of my school everyday, seriously.

  • Yes, when I say "That's so gay" I mean it's happy and enjoyable. Like when I sing the song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and I come to the verse that says "We'll all feel gay" I don't mean that everyone will have homosexual relations just because a war is over (although in the past, people felt gay to stay out of wars). And it doesn't mean that everything should try to get to second base with a girl named Gay. It means you should be happy. And I am.

  • That's SO GAY

    btw...Retarded didn't work either....So why would we stop saying Gay?

  • fuck you I say whatever I want to say you freedom hating faggot cocksuckers

  • "That's So Gay" Commericals [sic] Win Top Ad Council Award: The misspelling of "commercials" is so gay.

  • "What if who you were was used as an insult?" Well! Hm. People have called others "girls" and "ladies" as an insult for decades! Do you see the feminists creating a PSA about that?

  • Wait "thats so gay" is homophobic??? I have cousins that are gay, i have friends that are gay and they call things gay. People who think that this is offensive are gay, and retarded. Not that they are homosexual or mentally challenged but because they are ignorant, dumb, oh and unconstitutional. Oh yea the constitution doesnt really matter any more we lost freedom of speech a wile back, sorry everyone i forgot.

  • Who says "knock it off" anymore? Gay.

  • Faggots dying of aids,that so wonderful!

  • Like many other words in the english language, gay has more than one meaning. Being gay doesn't mean you own the exclusive rights to how the word is used.

    Your not special, your just homosexual.

  • @RockieOllie unfortunately many people don't realize how unfair it is to have the way you're born used to describe something that's bad (fascism!) And many people DO realize it's rude and mean to gay people and that's the main reason they use it AND then deny they meant it to be insulting!

  • @Claronium780 Well personally, I don't believe anyone is born gay, that's like saying people are born a Republican or a Democrat. You know how that saying goes, "Heroes aren't born, they are made." But anyway, Black people have been dealing with negative slurs since slavery. Today they have flipped "nigger/nigga" into a synonym for homie/friend.

  • If you listen close she just defined the word gay as "dumb or stupid" "You know when something is dumb or stupid, you say that's so emma and julia" Srsly? According to the message they're trying to make is to define the word gay well bravo... you just did. And have they forgotten what Gay first meant, happy or carefree. It goes back to the 1890's, aka the Gay Nineties. Words with the same spelling can have different meanings. When I say somethings gay it's simply stupid, not targeting gays.

  • that guy was soo gay

  • don't put this on youtube, as you can see from the comments it just provokes the use of the word even more, this should be on TV where people can't comment or dislike, maybe then they'll finally get it.

  • these are the gayest commercials ever pls knock them off!

  • Do they even know how teenagers act. They sort of delibrately throw in "gay" in their conversation.

  • Peter Griffin ~ "so ducking gay!"

  • Bitch, you're so fucking gay.

  • Oh wow, so they are targeting the most apathetic group of people in the world.....im sure it actually works....

  • I thought this commercial was with Hilary Duff...?

  • That's so gay

  • @jawsflounderace get some originality. YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN­N. Oh, sorry, forgive me while I fall asleep........

  • fake and gay!! :D

  • Holy mother of Fucking god.... What was that offensive? WHO CARES

  • I wonder. How much money would it take for someone to put out an PSA attacking those who take the Lord's name in vain, as being offensive to me as a Christian.

    Do you realize that when you take the name of the Lord in vain, you are being offensive?

    KNOCK IT OFF!

  • thats so emma and julia lolz i jus died

    

  • this is so hetro. BAM! new slang. Oh yeah, this isn't a Emma or Julia idea. Not at all. haha

  • Not gonna lie, this is.. well... it's pretty freakin' gay.

  • This is so gay

  • oh yeah and fuck this commercial

  • gay

  • thats so gay

  • GAY MEANS HAPPY LOL gay doesnt mean Homosexual It means HAPPY

  • @Gavin3214 it means BOTH but people only use at as homo now

  • sticks and stones may break my bones, BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME!

    what the hell is wrong with speaking words? just because some1 "feels" bad about people using a word doesn't negate my being able to use it in any context i wish. move to europe, stop crying about the world, its been fucked up long before any of us were born. Grow up.

  • That's so gay.

    AS IN, "That's so happy."

    AS IN, being sarcastic when something dumb happens.

    THEREFORE, it's not homophobic, it's sarcasm.

    :D

  • @ziqana I think the ad is kinda cheesy and to be honest I usually sub in "retarted" for "gay" so I'm sure that offends some people. But, when looking at the origination of this term, I think it actually is homophobic. Not because many of the people who say that are or think it is, but because I don't think too many people were saying "that's so gay" before very long ago, during when gay awareness and homosexuality became more apparent in schools. It was meant to denote that homosexuality is bad.

  • XD

  • I mean say not see wtf lol

  • From now on if I see something nasty gross stupid dum something I dislike or hate I'll say that's so Fucking HETERO or that's So Fu king STRAIGHT.... Pride right here bitch ass Mother fuckers...... And sorry if I discriminate some of the little good Straight folks put there just know this comment is not for you....

  • If you coated the Care Bears, the Teletubbies, and Chris Crocker in strawberry-scented KY, then shoved them all into a giant bag of skittles and heaved this pack of skittles off of Rainbow Mountain, whereupon they all miraculously impregnated one another...

    ...you would still not be approaching the pure, unadulterated gayness of the statement which you have just uttered here.

  • @mastervictor123

    Maybe you should call up your surgeon and slander him as a "dum hetero" for accidently stitching your penis up inside your rectum, Fudge-packer.

  • @JonestownHangover you'r disturbingly and thoughtless disgustingly homophobic - you fucking cunt !!!

  • @mastervictor123 The funny thing is, no straight person would be offended. LOLOL And we'll embrace the term straight, because it implies that those who aren't are crooked or broken. LOLOLx2

  • @seinfan9 are you sure? because one time I said man look at that dog's tail that's so Straight and this one guy was like so? theres nothing wrong with that then I said I know.. LOL

  • Some of these comments are so black and ghetto and white trash.

  • @armandv Please don't say something's ghetto when you really mean something's gay. It's like, if I said that's so "hypocritical pillowbiters trying to deprive people of precisely what they've supposedly been asking for."

  • @armandv True

  • Homophobia is not the same as racism. At all. One is based off of your skin color, and one is based off of your actions. You have complete control over your actions. Putting on butterfly wings and short-shorts doesn't strike me as being a victim, and I have yet to see a gay person that's so damned repressed that they can't insult someone's last-season pumps.

    And "gay"? Not your word. At all. Sorry. Get over it.

    This video? As gay as two bois kissing.

  • @MicroMediaInk Mate... I'm gay and not once have I put on butterfly wings OR short shorts. Not to mention your logic is completely flawed. They are the same thing, hence why they're both called 'discrimination'. They both happen by accident of birth, neither are a choice. I personally have no problem with the word 'gay' These adds are stupid. I call shit gay all the time, very much like many black people use the word nigga. Many words have multiple meanings. I couldn't give a fuck what you wear.

  • @redemption1991 I feel exactly the same way. Haha, I only like the way girls look, but I'm pansexual, and can love anyone. People confuse me for bisexual all the time, I don't sleep around, I don't kiss girls for attention or anything. I'm a normal person like everyone else.

    When I like something I say its lez.

    When I dislike something I say its gay.

    When I really hate something I say its straight (unless its a republican, then I call it gay cause it most likely is)

  • I will say what I want to say no comercial will ever change that.

  • guess what the people from thinkb4youspeak are so gay. like uber gay sooooooooo gay GAY GAY GAY :P all im saying is happy so shove it up your A**

  • These commercials are gay. Oop, I mean dumb. Oop, I mean lame. Oop, I mean retarded. Actually, I mean gay, cause that's the damn word I want to use and I'm gonna fucking use it

  • @maiwork6666666 exactly!

  • This is stupid and pointless.

    Nobody says "That's so gay!"

    We say "That's so ghay!"

    It's a completely different word with a different meaning.

    trololo intrwebz winz.

  • Fake N' Gay

    

  • thats so gay

  • That's gay.

  • There was a girl I met who used this phrase all the time I told her to please stop because some of my best friends are gay she said that some of hers were too and she kept saying it. I don't understand how she could interpret calling anything stupid "gay" anything but offensice towards her friends but I didn't know what to say

  • fuckin gay

    

  • @christhegreatish fuck you

  • Im 15 and gay and tbh I throw this phrase around sometimes, not an offensive way thought. In general these kind of comments make me uncomfortable but don't bother be all that much. The reason for that is because I know teens aren't saying it directing it at the homosexual community - most of the time. In fact, I have many friends, who before didn't know I was gay, who use this phrase all the time. Since I've come out to them, they are very careful not to say it, same with people I hardly know.

  • that's totally ghay !!!

  • this is so emma and julia

  • I'm gay and I always feel uncomfortable when these kinds of commercials come on because everyone usually eyes me in the room :/

  • this videos so gay..

  • that is sooooooo gay

  • i say thats so gay sometimes but i have never once ment it in a bad way i love gays with all my heart and im Bi so sorry gay community if i a fended anyone

  • We would never say thats so gay! We would say something far more derogatory!

  • These commercials are so gay.

  • DOUBLE STANDARD!!! Adults use gay like homosexual, teens use gay as stupid yet teenagers get hated on for using the way we choose to... i wanna see some commerical on a 17-year-old owning a 40-year-old because he's using gay as homosexual and not using the real word's mean - happy.

  • i bet the people who made this ad didnt know that when she said 'dumb' she was insulting dumb people ( people with a disability witch makes you unable to speak :) )

  • @sillysongification hahaha, self conscious gay people need to grow up.

  • Your sexuality no one denies you A.I.D.S. A.I.D.S. Analy Inflicted Death Sentence A.I.D.S. That's what you get for having A penis up your ass You should have used a condom That's what you get when you Swallow another man's load A lubricated condom How do you find love in another man's hairy ass You should have used a condom Millions of lost hamsters Running ramped in you Fudge packing men A manly man Fudge packing men Fudge packing men Fudge packing men

  • @fudpuckerx You know the rate of HIV infection in unprotected anal is the same for straight couples as it for gays right?. Not all guys have hairy ass's lmfao. You know what's still cool? Spelling and some fucking punctuation. Go back to school before you try to discriminate against people. Cause right now you just sound like an uneducated spaz.

  • @redemption1991 The HIV rate is slightly lower for males in opposite sex relations, but it is remarkably lower for those in lesbian relations.

    Moral of the story, if it's got a dick stay away :p

    Nahh it's something I say when people start yelling about how gays have more HIV and such. It usually shuts them up.

  • Wooo cool!

  • Wow some people are realllllyyy stupid..

  • well that was gay.

  • if i said thats so black my whole class wod stop and stare in shock

    so why is thats so gay acceptable?

    it pisses me off when people say it

  • @IrishfanofDH Thank you. :)

  • Oh my goodness we might hurt someones feelings. Oh get over it and grow up.

  • what a joke that these commericals win awards. i guess not saying 'so gay' is more important than drinking n driving ads, or say no to drugs, 

  • @lekesha00 we have a ton of those ads. this is the first time anyone has tried this, i think its awesome and a step forward.

  • @invisibleBOBsayz gays claim that maybe 7-10% of the population is gay and we make commericals that cater to this tiny population is a joke. there are so many more PSA's that need to be addressed.

  • @lekesha00 Um..im pretty sure we are bigger then that. In new york alone we have such a high gay population, plus that number can't totally be accurate because of the amount of gays in the closet, that havent become part of the census. and we have ads for drinking and driving, teen pregnancy, and yet we still see teen moms on tv everyday, and hit and runs on the news. Bottom line is people just don't listen or care.

  • @invisibleBOBsayz the way you say 'because of the amount of gays inthe closet' is liek your some cult leader looking for future recruitment. my original statement was there there are hundreds of more important PSA's i can think of outside of 'so gay' but since gays of late are shoveling their agenda down everyones throat is disgusting.

  • @lekesha00 gays arent "recruiting" anyone. We dont have a "gay agenda" and we aren't trying to shovel down anything down anyones throat. Sure there can be better psa ads, but im happy they made one about this for those who might find it offensive. I think we should have more psa's regarding a wide range of things, but this is like only ONE ad, theres no need to make such a big deal over it.

  • @lekesha00 Plus i think LGBT is just trying to make their mark. It happened to Jews, then Blacks, then Japanese, interacial relationships, and now its unfortunately our turn to be prejudiced. I will never try to make you like me, or accept me, but one day i could be your neighbor or our kids will go to the same school and all any gay person would want is for people to see us as ordinary people. Psa's are a small stepping stone. and im glad we have at least one

  • @invisibleBOBsayz they never made PSA's for jews, interracial relationships, or japanese. They make PSA's to raise awareness for safety, or things that could perhaps affect the enviornment. Being gay is an alternative lifestlye, & to this day some sciences suggest it might be a choice, others are convinced they are after sexual trauma or long prison sentences and others say thay would change if they could but they know in their heart they are gay. so be it, but to make a PSA for that is a joke.

  • @lekesha00 They never did because that was a different time. many people didnt have a voice or the sponsorship. I doubt many would fund a anti-racist commercial in the 70's given how many people didnt want civil rights to pass. Anyways, i'm sorry you see it as a waste of time. I just see it as having some people learn a bit of acceptance and preventing another gay teen from getting bullied.

  • @invisibleBOBsayz it can border on Indoctrination in a time when money is scarce, this sort fo message isn't the the most important social issue or safey issue.

  • So if we can't say "that's so gay," I then propose we now start saying, "that is so queer." It is a more accurate term anyway when something is odd or stupid.

  • That ad was really gay.

  • gays are the jesters in the new era.. and i dont mean normal gay people. its the gay people who have to be over the top and annoying wearing absurd clothes and flaunting how gay they are.

  • Who says "thats so gay" is referring to gay people, how do you know the user of the word is not using it as anti-happy. A new use of an old multi meaning word is invented, and they make it seem like its the worst thing in the world. Lets be real. WHO thinks "homosexual" when someone says "thats so gay". I despise these commercials. Then you'll be wrong for saying "that sucks" cuz youll offend gay men? Nobody keeps it real anymore these days. Im speaking my mind, if you dont like it ....your gay.

  • You act gay

    you can't BE it

    that one chick in the vid couldn't even finish her insult to normal people

    what a gay person

  • This commercial is just screaming, "FUCK YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH AND SINCE I DON'T LIKE YOUR LANGUAGE, YOU'RE DOING AS I SAY AND SHUTTING YOU UP."

    So gay.

  • God, all you people who use the phrase "that's so gay" and think there's nothing wrong with it is being ignorant and narcissistic. You're being ignorant because you lack the knowledge of knowing that what you say is prejudice. And you're narcissistic because you think that being gay is a lower social status than that of yourself which makes it "stupid". Please think before you speak!

  • umm actually, saying "that is so emma" is pointing out a specific individual which is completely different than just using some term which most people do not associate with homosexuality when used..fuck this commercial, and fuck the liberals that pay for this shit

  • that was the GAYEST commercial i hav ever seen!!!! gay people deserve no respect!!! i don't care what you say. this commercial is so GAY!!!

  • @R3ALSimShady dont fucking hate gay ppl u fcuking hypocrite!

  • @MultiRump hahahaha you only wish i was gay so you could suck my dick......hahahaha i fucking h8 gays...hahahaha....i read a story once about a gay guy that was jumped and throwen off a bridge, then the ppl that jumped him spray painted "fags jump here" on the bridge and i laughed my ass off!!!!!!

  • @R3ALSimShady Were you hugged as a child?

  • That commercial was pretty gay

  • they could find better come backs LOL im gay and I thought Mad Tv made this

  • The whole that;s so gay thing, did it start in america? Because if so it's now spread here to England and bloody England copies every stupid thing americans do and that's so gay!, get it?

  • Comment removed

  • ummm, the term dumb refers to people who are physically unable to speak. and saying that something is dumb is just as offensive. or we can all quit acting like words, created by humans, can inflict pain on us unless we let them. don't be a hypocrite.

  • I don't like when people say it because its annoying/stupid much like these commercials.

  • theyre basically telling us what to say and what not to say thats not going to work

  • @MGsource, you sound line a 4th grader who hasn't gotten enough love at home from your parents.

  • thats so.... Obama...

  • I love how this had the opposite effect.

  • Gay faggot nigger bitch pussy cunt Beaner redneck fuck tits dick licker dick sucking, chode munching cum guzzling dildo eating bitch fat pussy lesbo sex

  • MORONIC!! The term "that's so gay" is old and has nothing to to with being homosexual. It's like saying "get lost" - do we really mean get lost so a search & rescue has to be conducted? Like in the 1930's gay meant being happy not a queer. "so gay" has a lot of meanings,usually means do want a part of or not my choice. Get with it - Gay or homo people or go back in the closet.
