Here Are All The Ways You're A Hipster And Just Need To Stop

by N/A, 9 years ago | 2 min read

Ever get the feeling there's a certain type of commercial that is just getting recycled over and over? Feel like that commercial is targeting hipsters and millennials and encouraging their waifish lifestyles? So do Steve and Peggy, and they brilliantly parody hipsters and the way they're marketed to in this commercial. 

funny hipsters parody Satire Non-Premium

Steve and Peggy, a YouTube comedy duo, have released a commercial parodying the commercials we see all too frequently.

If you've ever seen one, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about–the commercials that target all young folks as one giant group of hipsters, and imply that all people are unique. At least as long as they're wearing suspenders, doing performance art, baking or have enormous beards. 

The commercial is a compilation of stereotypical hipster people doing stereotypical hipster things. When the voiceover began with "you are not average," I knew it was going to be wonderful.

While the parody commercial does sufficiently mock hipsters, it's more targeted at the people making the ads, who show all millennials as "creative free spirits" with their heads up their asses. Okay, maybe the "heads up their asses" part is only implied. 

"You are not a cog in a wheel. You make little projects," the voiceover continues, and you start to get the sense this might not be a sincere video.

Nope, it's a parody. And a pretty damn funny one at that. 

Pretty much everyone in the video looks like this guy. The point being: if your sense of looking unique is looking just like everyone else who's "unique," you might not know what that word means. 

But once again, I get the sense the parody commercial is more aimed at the out-of-touch ad execs who think all young people do is spin records in their backwards hats and ironically ugly shirts. 

"So go ahead, start that kazoo orchestra if that makes you feel special." I lost it at that point. Pretty spot on parody of both hipsters themselves and the way young people are pigeonholed as hipsters in commercials.

Nothing says hipster like a ukulele. 

And at the end, we're greeted with this lovely message. 

That ad is some pretty decent satire and parody, and it's guaranteed to offend a whole lot of people. But that's how you know it's good. 

Watch the full commercial parody video here. 
Bonus: best YouTube comments go to these folks.
