I've looked high & low and couldn't find a video, but the commercial goes like this:

Guy brings his sister to his friend's house and introduces "Lisa" to him right as he's biting into his pepperoni hot pocket.  The taste is so good that he starts moaning and says "sooo hot" which of course is done in a way that makes it appear he's talking about the sister.  Brother is embarrassed and sister runs over and takes a bite from the other end of the hot pocket, moaning and repeating the "soo hot."  It's so friggin' irritating and stupid.

Apparently the advertising "foodgasm" offense knows no bounds. Confused

Saw that, just as embarrassed as the brother. I'm disturbed by the sexualization of food lately.

I don't know about you but whenever I bite into a Hot Pocket, I moan about it being hot, too...then spit out the bite and get a drink for my scalding mouth. That stuff burns like a motherf**ker!

Jim Gaffigan pretty much sums up how I feel about these nasty "food items."  I never felt good after eating one of those things. 

Oh and yeah the sexualization of food is approaching Caligula-like proportions.  Disgusting.

Finally, how is a food item being TOO HOT appealing?  I LOVE burning my mouth, DERP.  Absolutely idiotic.

They have already started to edit this one. I like the way the lady looks only slightly offended at first. Then she starts throwing things over her shoulder READY to take a bite.

That commercial is so unrealistic. Biting into a hot pocket right out of the microwave would result in screams of pain and rushing to the nearest source of water to kill the burn. Ouch

I know, I've experienced it, it is the most helpless situation to be in.

There is never the amount of meat they show in that commercial nor on their box. Maybe half of a Steak-Um on their "Philly Steak & Cheese" version.Confused

While I haven't taken exact measurements or anything, the amount of ham I get in the ham and cheese ones when I occasionally get them seems about the same as what's on the box...

Why the hell is he standing there moaning like a child about how hot his food is? Hot pockets are NOT THAT GOOD. I mean come on, she throws her keys and bag and goes to take a bite out of it? She literally moans that it's good while taking the bite out of it. Can you at least act on cue you stupid bitch? What is up with her smug "that IS hot" ::hands on hips:: look at him? Something bugs me about her face.

Who the hell got paid to come up with that? WHAT'S THE POINT? Hot pockets =  attracting women? Hot pockets are just a place holder for your dong? HOT POCKETS WILL MAKE WOMEN PUT THEIR MOUTHS ON YOUR DONG? I don't get it, I just don't see what this had to do with Hot Pockets. I don't see why she would RUN TO TAKE A BITE out of his hot pocket? God damn this ad is right up there with worst of 2012 for me.

Am I the only one who sees it? That look in his eyes when she bites the aft end of his microwaved delicacy?

Sorry, had to revive this thread because the spot just aired.. searched and found.. and sure enough, no one has touched on it. But it's there.

That look of "BITCH! WTF!? You never bite a Hot Pocket at both ends! It's ruined now! Now I might as well get a plate and spoon because my next bite is going to shoot hot, gooey cheese and pepperoni all over the floor.... bitch."

Damn right they edited it, because you know he threw that pocket at the back of her head when she went back for her keys.

I don't really care for the things that much but I will get them on sale now & then.

But microwaving them sucks.

I take 'em out & toast 'em up in the toaster oven with some tater tots.

Halfway decent that way.

"Made with real cheese and irresistibly hot"

That means there's cultured milk involved and you microwaved it at some point.

Hot pockets are the worst food invention I've ever tried. I used to think those Chef Boyardee raviolis were awful... Hot Pockets are in a whole new league. Mushy pepperoni or ham with oily cheese and a horrible sauce, served either cold in the middle, or so hot it will melt your face off. Awesome.

Try any of the ones made with pretzel bread.

Thaw them out, then bake them in a toaster oven.

They're halfway decent that way.

Microwaving ruins just about anything.

^  Sure.  'Cuz "halfway decent" is going to motivate someone who thinks they're awful, to give 'em another try.  That'd be kinda like telling someone who thinks sushi is disgusting, to put cheese on it in order to make it somewhat less disgusting.

Well, I was just tryin not to "oversell" the idea.

Toasted up nice & crispy with tater tots on the side, they're really pretty damned good.

Maybe just not big enough.

Izzat better?
