Marriott Hotels and Xerox commercial: Funny, funny, or funny because they're Gay

This is my third venture into commercial critiques. The first was State Farm commercial with the Black couple. The second was the Plant Fines with I pick things up and put them down.

And this one. I think this commercial is genuinely funny. But, then I wondered why did I laugh? If these were tow guys just talking it wouldn’t work. But, when it becomes zany and over the top, it’s obvious the guys are very Gay. Is it legit because the guys are Gay? And if it is, isn’t this commercial offensive to some Gays?

I especially like the guy on the right who’s a bit more flamboyant than the other



It’s a pretty funny commercial.
