You missed the most important part of what Steve wrote:

&quot;Beware all you hipster creatives who think your ivory tower, insider coolness will be welcomed by all. Hardly. Remember, there&#039;s a whole lot more people living outside your world that in.&quot;

and then...

&quot;Somewhere along the line, this industry forgot that Super Bowl ads still need to accomplish what advertising is meant to do: sell. It&#039;s perfectly fine for advertising to go for the laugh, the tear, the shudder but it still has to sell or else it&#039;s all a pointless waste of money. It&#039;s too bad that many in the industry creating ads have forgotten that and have put too much effort into the creation of entertainment at the expense of advertising primary function: to aid in the movement of product from manufacturer to consumer.&quot; 

To me, those two comments combined say it all.  Young hipsters, thinking everyone thinks like them.  Everyone will &#039;get it&#039; and think that the ad was a riot and that these two guys (a favorite target of ridicule) are idiots.  And because of that, we&#039;ll sell more Snickers bars.  Those that have a problem with the ad are like the guys in the ad.  Morons.  And/or homophobic.</description>
