Crest Toothpaste Thought Experiment and Migration as a 'Bad Commercial'
from Iran Forever, Belfast Riots, & College Commencement | The Tim Dillon Show #499 · #499
4 min
Using an imagined disturbing Crest commercial as a metaphor, Tim argues that the Belfast beheading video is terrible PR for continued migration, while insisting this doesn't apply to all immigrants, and mocks EU supranational control over member states.
- Budweiser commercial premise: get drunk and kill someone with your car.
- Tim argues advertising shapes the American psyche and the psyche of people worldwide.
- Crest toothpaste thought experiment: if the commercial showed a mentally unwell man drilling into his mouth with blood spurting out in a dimly lit room.
- Tim's analogy: current immigration into the UK and EU is a bad commercial for immigration itself.
- Tim plays a video he characterizes as a commercial for continued Irish migration.
- Irish people do not want to be beheaded, which Tim says is labeled as racism.
- Tim compares not wanting to be beheaded to transphobia: both framed as internalized bigotry requiring therapy to address.
