Well, yeah. The main message of that ad is that having a kid is a pain. This is true to some extent, but having this message without showing any of the positive aspects of parenthood, and implying that the father regrets the existence of the kid, does not make for a pleasant commercial. I should have found a YouTube version that does not say "Condom Commercial" at the top of the page, so that the humor in finding out that it is a condom commercial at the end would be greater and would offset the fact that the commercial is kinda painful.

BM: Both of those are funny, but the condom ad is a little... offputting somehow.
