Satan and 2020 are a perfect match in a new ad for dating website Match.com, the result of a unique collaboration between actor Ryan Reynolds and pop artist Taylor Swift.
From Reynolds’ Maximum Effort production company, the commercial plays out like any other app-date between two people who hit it off right away — except those people are the devil himself and the year in which we currently live, if it took on the form of a small brunette woman with grown-out highlights and a taste for athleisure.
Together, they bask in the slow crumbling of society, stealing toilet paper from public restrooms, watching movies in an empty theater, and soaking up all the fun of a deserted football stadium in pandemic-ravaged America.
I have seen many dumb and stupid commercials in my lifetime but this has to be the saddest, sickest commercial I have ever seen. What were they thinking making such a despicable commercial, mocking the most heartbreaking and devastating time of our world!?
This commercial is horrible why would you do something like this. It’s Satanic not funny . for one a child does not need to see this. Shame on you for doing this at Christmad get it Christ Joy Peace Love.
What a Disgusting Commercia!l. Really Satan….. It’s bad enough that this country is headed that way, but to glorify it is troubling. This was done in poor taste. This commercial needs to be taken off. Go back to Match original foundation. Rather have True Love than be Satanized.
I just seen this commercial & it Only took me 15 seconds to get online to leave a comment for Match.com…How disgusting!! Shame on Match!!! This is Why this world is going thru such a devastating pandemic because of so much Sin…and this company to promote the one demonic Satan that started!! Shame shame shame
This is one of the most disgusting commercials. To me it shows again, how celebrities and match.com are awful, despicable and disgusting. Instead of showing happiness and moving on, they show Satan and awful things. This was not funny at all. It was very much done in the complete poor taste. Let me guess they think it is funny! It is not at all 100%. Wish everyone would leave Match.com just to prove a point. 🙁 🙁 🙁
There are ads that’ll make you chuckle. Then there’s this howling side-splitter! If you don’t agree that 2020 & Hell were made for each other, it’s gotta be because you were in a year long coma! An hilariously perfect summation.
Poor squirrel
This is a horrible commercial and shows children of the world that it’s okay to follow and even “date” satan. Ryan Reynolds I feel bad for your children. Such bad taste and so sinful. I hope God has mercy on your soul
This commercial is spot on in a humorous way, pure genius! Not entirely sure what some of these idiots who are offended are crying about? Just keep your masks and gloves on, keep scrolling, you’ll get through this! Next year 2020 turns 21 and can drinking. Ryan Reynolds nailed it..
I cannot believe that Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds are putting their name to something so disgusting and sinful. It just goes to show you that the world is going to hell and how many people except this fate!
This is the most despicable commercial I have ever seen.
Our nation has suffered in unprecedented ways this year. Your commercial is insensitive and in very poor taste.
It needs to be pulled from viewing immediately!
I think this is one of the most disturbing advertising that match.com has ever done. How low will match go l wonder. You are putting this on television and over the media for kids to see. I hope people who think our society has fallen enough in our values and morals will demand this commercial be removed at once.
Disgusting. Absolutely horrible… made me so sick. Mocking people losing loved ones, making a joke out of what the world is going through absolutely disgusting.
I loved it. It was fantastic. And . .. Satan is hot! (Get it?) Unclinch your sphincter. It’s a harmless joke. Refreshingly funny. And if Satan can find love, maybe there’s hope for your sorry Trump loving ass. Also, if there ever was a devil, it was him. You’re in love with Satan and you don’t even know it.
My friends died and lost their homes because of the events of this year and that’s what this commercial alluded to. I hate trump. This isn’t political. This isn’t something to make jokes about. It’s just too soon man
I think its true af but i cant believe its allowed. But hey its still true. However this would be more true if it was an ad from the POF dating site cause the couple is exactly what you get each time every year it has existed. Still i wont be bitter it was brilliant and true cant be mad at that. Nothing different from the humor people are post if 2020 was …… No different.
Is this where we are as a society to find humor in Satan & use him in commercials for our children to watch. As if it wasn’t offensive enough but during a football game on Christmas.
This commercial was the best ever , and those of you who think it wasn’t, need to go bury your head back in the sand
Awesome job Match, and please do not remove it from TV . we need this humor right now
To each is own. I personally dont like this. Its promoting it’s okay to date the devil. Satanic devil on a dating app. This needs to be removed. Why not place God as saving souls instead of giving your soul to the devil.
This new Satan commercial is in such bad taste. Glorifying his evil by portraying him as someone who is looking for love, come on. This is shameful and completely uncalled for.
The commercial is horrible. To find any humor in the devil and 2020 is very disturbing. This shows us where Hollywood is truly headed. To Hell in a hand basket. This is no time to pick fun at something some people take so seriously.
I find no humor in this commercial.
God help us!
I was a fan of both but after watching the commercial not now I cant believe at all any of you see humor in something like this very sad that a company can push something like this im guessing the ones that do see humor in this are mentally challenged or serial killers there has to be something wrong with you its in poor taste period theres no humor in this regardless if your religious or not do you not see the message here people
The writing is clever but not for television with children watching. Very insensitive and shockingly offensive for the forum it’s used. Maybe Saturday Night Live which I don’t like but why put this out there when it hurts so many? Goodbye Match
Anyone who doesnt think Satan played a huge roll in 2020 is crazy…the commercial is spot on genius…captured the year perfectly because it truly was a match made in hell. Having a good sense of humor to get thru bad times is necessary and thank you Ryan Reynolds for delivering the perfect year end commercial to put this horrible year behind us!
My Uncle was on a ventilator for 49 days and barely made it out alive. There are hundreds of thousands of people who lost loved ones this year. My coworkers lost loved ones and their homes burned down in my home state of Oregon. Idc if it was in jest, this year is not something to joke about to many people. Get this filth off TVs. Please
Hilarious commercial! There is no Satan, with the exception of Trump and his cult followers. They are the true evil in the USA. The true sinners and liars and hypocrites.
Match.com needs to be boycotted as does Taylor Swift and it appears Ryan Reynolds. Didn’t realize Ryan Reynolds was playing Satan or that Taylor Swift was playing 2020. Regardless, this commercial is despicable. Glorifying Satan is OFFENSIVE to me as a christian. I wonder how many would be on line protesting if they tried to have a christian themed commercial instead of this satanic garbage. This commercial is not funny in the slightest. It is obvious that Taylor Swift has gone as far the opposite direction as she can go acting the way she is. Ryan is usually funny but this is ridiculous and well beyond funny. It is down right offensive and Match needs to do the right thing and take this garbage off the air. I agree with many of the post on here talking about the direction of this country having no Morales and anything goes attitude. I am tired of this stuff being stuffed down my throat and being told to get use to it as it is a new day. I for one am sick of it!
Does anyone know this is an old rendition of Satan? From the movie Legend? That Satan was looking for love if I’m not mistaken. I’m pretty sure the commercial was supposed to say 2020 went to hell but 2021 is available for all positivity, love and all that…. Or maybe Satan had his time and know it’s “our” turn. I honestly never heard the song fully but isn’t that song abt a young love that didn’t last? Not sure. 2020 was hard for me and my family, plus I’m a nurse. I have felt alot of heart breaking crap in 2020 and I am sick right now, but this commercial has not made me lose any sleep or hope for society or 2021. It’s just a commercial guys!
When I saw this I thought, the Xtians gonna be PISSED! They can’t handle this! Sure ’nuff!
People! It’s a JOKE! It’s not “glorifying” anything. But honestly, the commercial made me laugh more because I knew how you guys would pop aneurisms and all, but I actually thought the commercial itself was quite dumb.
Absolutely despicable advertisement. I have to mute volume and cannot watch it. Sadly, the moral compass of our world has come to this. Prayers and blessings to all.
It’s all about the subliminal message. Dangerous people. That’s how you brainwash people. Television is terrible for the young. Movement to destroy this country.
Shame on any company that would even entertain the idea of such dispicable commercials. Shame on the advertisement firm who would even come up with such a pathetic discusting slogan and theme. Shame on Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift for participating. Shame on those desperate female dates, showing their hopelessness even to have selected Satan as a match,…total sign of dispair depicted. This is offensive in every way. Everyone involved in this commercial, match.com and the advertisement firm aught to be embarrassed that they have a team of individuals working for them that would have waisted company time, listening to such dispicable commercial ideas, let alone show their stupidity by selecting such detestable ads.
People using Match.com aught to cancel subscriptions, protest and go elsewhere to a clearly more respectable dating service.
I think this is a horrible and very disturbing commercial. Will someone go to any length to try and make a dollar! The Bible does say “the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. If you watch t.v. for very lo g you will see that its true!
To all who find this The most offensive and deplorable commercial, please call match.com at 1-800-926-2824 press #5 and wait on hold till someone answers. It took me a half hour wait to express my complaint. Be patient but DO call now. Maybe enough complaints will pull the ad.
How about having a date with Jesus Christ, showing a positive side.
This commercial is disgusting. Satan is alive and well. We really don’t need a reminder , especially during the Christmas season . Shame on Match and the networks who buy this junk,
Horrible commercial! Take it down!!!
Go away satan and don’t come back. These are times of turbulence and I think you are taking advantage of this, for what???
