His latest Lincoln commercial is my least favorite - by far. The women fawning over him from afar while he makes a trick shot in pool is just too much. And they've been airing it a bunch.



While Googling to find a link to the commercial for this thread, I ran across this really good breakdown of the commercial on Uproxx.

Please — PLEASE — do imagine one of the people at this party explaining what happened the next morning at work.

“Hey, how was the party at Matthew McConaughey’s house?”

“Pretty cool. It got weird at the end, though.”

“How so?”

“Well, we were all saying goodbye, normally, when his eyes went distant and he kind of glided into his game room, where the pool table was, completely silent, and then he hit this incredible spinning shot that sent the cue ball curving around the table-“

“A masse.”

“A what?”

“The shot is called a masse.”

“Whatever. Anyway, he does that, makes the shot, then just marches out to his car, chuckles a little, and drives off.”

“Where was he going?”

“That’s the thing. No one knows!”

“You wanna hear something even weirder?”

“Sure.”

“The last time I was at a party at his house, I had to double back after leaving because I forgot my phone, and he was suddenly soaking wet, in his suit.”

“What? Why?”

“He just jumped in the pool!”

“Holy crap!”

“I know!”​

It’s not supposed to be at his house. He is a guest and leaves.

This one is weirder
 
Doesn't bother me one iota. I can't make a masse shot, women don't typically "fawn" over me, and I'd never, ever drive a Lincoln Motorcar...

Jumping in the pool in a suit isn't even close to the weirdest thing he's ever done at his house.
 
I don't think he writes the commercials, he just gets a shit load of money for doing them. Maybe you've turned some down for "artistic integrity".

I respect you're decision. You may now enter the portal with El Machio.
Did I criticize McConaughey for taking the dough? I said this one commercial is too much.
 
I was sitting next to his attorney on a flight a couple of years ago. We struck up the usual conversation about MM and the Lincoln commercials came up. He said MM caught a lot of flak (jokes) about the commercials, but took it all in stride, since he was getting paid $13M for the commercials, so it was well worth the jokes. =)roll

In 1976 I had a 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors and I shot a lot of pool.

That said, I had a little trouble with finding women to fawn over me.

That’s my dream car. Passed on one that was mid restoration(everything finished but the interior) for $10,000 about 6 years ago because I’m a dumbass. Huge regret i have.
 
It is weird, but how many car commercials tell you anything about the car anymore, there all weird! Especially the Chevy commercials and atleast those give you info on the car itself. Don’t know man, but I do know this, I would fire the ****er that greeenlighted that crap!lol
 
i love the commercials, they perfectly capture MM IMO. lulz
I've enjoyed the others for this very reason...but this one is just weird. I think it's the women in it that I don't like more than Minister of Culture himself. The lady exaggerating "What?" in the beginning along with the "I've never seen that before" from the doorway as he makes the shot.

My mom had a 64 Lincoln with suicide doors. We had a pool table, but pretty sure women didn’t fawn n over her either.
 
It succeeds in having people talk about the commercial. How many commercials do that?

Exactly. Lincoln used to be on life support. Now they are crushing it, because of the commercials and because they are making some excellent SUVs/crossovers.

Pretty sure you’re the guy whose wife was fawning over him.
