The outdated Boston stereotypes with the accent are a snore.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this Ad is probably designed to entertain/amuse people from the 49 other states & from a financial perspective they probably have zero reason to care how people from Boston respond to it.

Not sure that’s the case given my entire office in Charlestown was abuzz today with conversations of this commercial. Doubtful everyone is a fan, but also not everyone finds the campaign to be a stereotype.

I’m sure your offices look absolutely identical to the Google campus.

And make sure someone says "Beantown" which is something everyone in Boston says.

Excuse me there tourist, you must not be familiar with the port city of Boston. Nobody here says Beantown. Please enjoy this documentary about our diverse aquatic life.

what did you say to me? Say it again you filthy transplant. Yeah i know your type. You probably have Connecticut plates and a Yankees sticker on your car. You brag about how close you live to Fenway Park, but then complain in the sub about how loud the concerts are. How about you and me meet in the parking lot of the 7-11 in Revere and settle this?

Even worse — Creatives at Goodby. They’re a San Francisco team

They moved their ad account to the agency Goodby which is in California. It’s bizarre to me that they insist on having SFers try and keep this campaign going. The whole Boston beer co is notorious for being a horrible, abusive client and Jim Koch is a nut job though so I don’t think there was an agency left in Boston willing to touch it
