‘Peloton’ Stationary Bicycles Get Flooded With Memes After Their ‘Luxurious’ Ad Faces Backlash
262Kviews
There are a few things in this world that just don't make any sense. Amongst those are funny commercials of people eating salad and having a good time as well as photos of people working out while having the time of their life (also looking better and sexier than ever). Now, more than ever, people are getting tired of being forced fed fake imagery by the luxury brands of a life that is impossible to achieve. So, it's only fair that they are fighting against these lies with the one thing they know best - funny memes.
Recently, Twitter user mocked a company that is advertising stationary bicycles
It seems that what people hated the most was the unattainable image of a fancy lifestyle the Peloton stationary bike company was advertising, and how somehow you could easily be a part of this world just by purchasing this gym machine. Scroll down to see all the jokes yourself, and don't forget to tell us what you think in the comments!

Apparently, 16 (as of the time I posted my comment) do not understand the fine art of sarcasm...Tomas Holicka was being facetious...he even used the symbols (a slash with an “s” for sarcasm), that many people use to indicate use of sarcasm, at the end of his comment. And his comment is actually really funny...
Well yeah, aside from the fireplace peacock, it’s the best work of art in the nation!
And I gather up my thousands of friends and do a Yogaton (yes, I know, yogathon, but, come on...)
Sometimes I also listen to forest sounds on my $2.99 zen app on my iPhone X to help me feel like I'm biking outside.
Those people down there are looking right up your nose, keep it clean please.
When I travel by air, I always book three adjacent seats for my emotional support companion, my peloton bike. It has such a calming effect on me, it induces this sense of everything being as it should, all is well and good. Traveling without it would seem pointless, and soo stressful.
And I also keep 7 pairs of Peloton leggings in my wardrobe so that I always have a clean pair
Is it just me or does the settee have a relaxed/not bothered about peloton expression?
That way all can see how rich and fit you are. What a gift for the needy homeless people.
If I buy a Peloton, I won't have money for food. Weight-loss win-win!!!
why is this such a big deal?
Thank god, I'm not the only one that was thinking that.
Because people who don't want to improve their own lives like to get angry at anybody who has "too much". Too much is code for "more than I have". If this company makes someone even remotely irritated, that person needs to do some serious soul searching.
It's also funny because people who can afford the houses pictured don't want to ruin the interior design by putting their expensive bike in a random place in the house.
Because those of us who aren't smug, rich, pretentious dicks don't like to see such grandiose attitudes when so much is wrong in this world.
Considering the bike cost upwards of 2-3k I'd say they are targeting the the right audience.
Aimed at those who would spend £5000 on a real bike - but too lazy to use it.
Using a real bike is not possible sometimes, for many reasons. 1. Can't actually ride a bike 2. It's snowing outside/pouring/blowing a gale 3. You can't leave the kid's unattended to go do it. 4. It's dark outside and you don't feel safe . It looks like a great product to me, for those that can afford it.
So a company makes a product with a certain clientele in mind, markets to said clientele, and bitter people who'd rather cut others down instead of building themselves up bitch and moan? Yup, sounds like the internet to me.
diane a, do they not advertise expensive cars on TV where you come from? What's the difference?
Exactly, this is how marketing works people >.<
But - why are they advertising it on national TV - to many, many millions of non-customers. only 5% of viewers would realistically be able to afford that for an excercise bike. Costs as much as a small used car.
Those grapes are sour. I'd seriously consider getting one - but only after comparing it to a bunch of others. The price might be high for YOU, but YOU are not everyone.
Who said anything sour? I'm saying that they are targeting a very specific audience of which the people who are criticizing the high-end vibe of the commercials probably do not belong. For your average person spending 2-3k on exercise equipment is a huge, luxury expense, good for you if its not. It sounds like you have a serious inferiority complex.
