Look, I think that Eva Longoria Parker is hot just like every other guy, but I think she's completely out of line in the new Heineken ad (after the jump).Two guys get an upgrade to courtside seats, and when they sit down, they're given two Heineken Light beers by the server. Immediately, Longoria Parker, sitting next to them, asks if she can have one of the beers.
At first, I thought she was asking for them to pass down one of the beers because the server was still there and they could just grab another. But the server isn't there anymore; she left. So she's asking for one of the guys' beers, because, you know, she's Eva Longoria Parker and she's hot and stuff.
Guys, hold your ground and keep your brews. Eva? Get your own bottle.

Really? You're posting a snarky bitch about *this*?
I didn't take from it the she was trying to mooch a beer, that from looks of it they didn't pay for in the first place. They appeared to be complimentary, I'm assuming for all of the VIP section. I'm guessing that the server comes by with the free beers on a regular basis. So what's the big deal?
Besides, she said "Please"...

Also, people in the front row at basketball games are expected to remain in thier seats while the game is in play. Phil Jackson apprently reamed Jonah Hill for moving to/from his front-row Laker seat during a game. This would make Eva's behavior in this instance entirely appropriate.

In which world is this worth a post? Not on TV squad, not even on Ad Squad!
Nobody cares.

Well, commercials are part of the TV landscape, like it or not, so it's well within our coverage area. Also, when our late great sister blog AdJab died a few years ago, we took the responsibility for at least the TV portion of that content.

If you watch the commercial, she turns away but it's not clear she leaves the area (they move the camera and you don't see where she goes). So she could easily be giving the beer to people in the row to the left of them. And Elf is right about the Hill and Phillip story that you shouldn't be moving during the game if you're in the first row.

Totally agree, the posts about commercials are getting a bit annoying.

Bob...you're a dork. This was a great commercial. It's not about "two guys get an upgrade", it's all about rewards from being adaptable. It wasn't over the top, and it wasn't Eva being unreasonable.
Shut up and give her a beer already.

Ugh, why is Eva Longoria on this commercial? So she can be annoying and ask for a Heineken? She should get her own beer - I'm sure people would stumble over themselves to get her stuff. Even if the guys didn't have to pay for the beer.
I hate commercials like this.

I don't cae for the way she says "please." She comes off as a cold bitch who feels she deserves having the world handed to her on a silver platter. It's a bad commercial - it cold have played differently and woked - but it's one of the worst beer commercials I've ever seen.

Your right Benjh, this is such a ridiculous post that I had to chime in.
For starters her husband plays basketball, CC, that's probably why shes in the commercial.
Bob if you really want to analyze this commercial, when they first sit down the person that is supposed to be Eva is wearing a different shirt compared to when you see her face. This spot was probably shot in pieces. I think it appears the waitress walks away before Eva asks for a beer because of the sequence they put it in.
Besides, like Buba said, she said please.

I don't care if she's the President. She can get up off her butt and get one herself. Lazy ditz. Eva has no beauty or talent at all. Doing the Desperate Housewives because she has nothing else better to do than that (dumbest show ever on TV). She needs to go back to hole she crawled out of and just drop dead and leave Tony Parker alone. He deserves someone better than that disgusting excuse for a woman. She just does stuff to get attention or money, both of which she doesn’t deserve. There are more hardworking people in the world than her. Just the sight of her is enough to make anyone toss their lunch. Get off TV, Longoria; and get out of the marriage, Tony. She’s a two timing B with and ITCH and a waste of everyone’s time.

I've got so many problems with this commercial, I don't know where to begin (and I don't care if anyone thinks I'm nitpicking):
1) These must be the most laid-back bozos in the history of fandom and/or beer-drinking. Even Gandhi would be a LITTLE annoyed that some doufus spilled a drink all over his seat at a game.
2) No usher in the nosebleed section -- heck, in the whole stadium -- has the authority to give courtside seats to whoever he wants. And he wouldn't be motivated to do so by two ultra-cool fans. Now, if they had flashed some green...
3) Why are these guys brought Heineken the moment they sit down? Do the tickets for those seats say, "seat and complementary Heineken?"
4) And, naturally, the Eva Dilemma. Why does she think she's entitled to a Heineken? The waitress has clearly left already. Does she expect these guys to surrender their beers? Is there some supply of Heineken somewhere that they are expected to pass to fans on their right whenever they're asked? And as for their inability to respond, is she THAT beautiful that they can't even formulate an answer?
I could go on...
