These are the 23 best Twitter reactions to that Christmas Peloton advert

Just look at the pain in her EYES

4 years ago

Bike company Peloton has released its latest Christmas ad – and it is being completely torn to shreds on Twitter. The Peloton ad is being called “sexist”, “out of touch” and “dystopian”. It really is a lot and I’m frightened for the Peloton ad woman’s personal safety.

For anyone that hasn’t seen it, here’s the ad:

It shows a woman being gifted a Peloton exercise bike by who can be presumed is her partner. She then embarks on a new exercise regime and records her process in vlogs to thank him. “A year ago, I didn’t realise how much this would change me,” she says as she shows of her just a slim as she was at the beginning self.

But now the Peloton ad is being completely rinsed. People are saying it’s sexist for a man to buy his partner an exercise bike to “change” her and the advert is completely “out of touch” and like the worst episode of Black Mirror ever.

The criticism has been so bad that Peloton has reportedly seen a plummet in its company shares, which closed more than 9 per cent lower yesterday. Yikes.

Here are some of the best reactions to the Peloton ad:

1. It’s about to be the worst episode ever

The only way to enjoy that Peloton ad is to think of it as the first minute of an episode of Black Mirror

2. My husband really loves me!!!!!

So sweet. My husband was inspired by the Peloton ad to get me a pair of pants in a child’s medium and a handwritten note that says “Don’t fucking touch me till you can fit into these”

3. There was zero thought from her

No offense to the Peloton lady but if your Christmas gift to me is just a video of you using the Christmas gift I got you last year then you’re not getting another Christmas present from me again

4. Even the house had major Black Mirror vibes

Peloton is legally required to repossess your bike if at least one wall of your house isn’t entirely windows

5. I love this song !!

? Take me down to the Peloton city where the wives are lean and the men are shitty ?

6. Same

All I want for Christmas is a Peloton bike in a multi-million dollar house with 35 foot windows, two brand new Lexuses out front with gigantic red bows, while I open a jewelry box for my wife while we are decked out in beige and black Banana Republic outfits.

7. Can someone check if Peloton lady is ok????

A Peloton ad has made clear
Just what it can do in a year.
The Pelaton wife
Has a beautiful life
And a general aura of fear.

8. SHE DOESN’T EVEN LOOK ANY DIFFERENT

Look I don’t want to be “The Peloton Ad Guy” anymore but the newest commercial about the vlogging 116 lb woman’s YEARLONG fitness journey to becoming a 112 lb woman who says “I didn’t realize how much this would change me” is just ri-god-damn-diculous. Come on.

9. Omg u guys

Fun Fact: peloton is Latin for “the bad place”

10. Does anyone else feel like this could actually be a horror movie trailer?

Thank you for not giving up on me honey. I know I have a lot of work to do…I promise I’m going to fix this. You’re the best husband ever. pic.twitter.com/VJsrxVxZak

11. Romance isn’t dead x

Nothing says “maybe you should lose a few pounds” like gifting your already rail thin life partner a Peloton pic.twitter.com/E2M9gFdD5A

12. Such festive cheer

My fave commercial right now is that one where a guy buys his already perfectly fit wife a Peloton for Christmas and she gets revenge by making him watch a compilation video of her using it for a year

13. This parody is better than the original Peloton ad

14. This thread though

Love putting my Peloton bike in the most striking area of my ultra-modern $3 million house

15. Yes there’s more

16. And more

17. He’s still going

18. …

19. I’ll be sure to try it

20. There’s more but I’ll end this here

21. Real talk

22. We can dream

I hope the Peloton wife leaves her husband and takes their daughter and falls in love with the Mandalorian and they raise the daughter and Baby Yoda together as one happy family. That’s what I hope.
