Royal Enfield Motorcycles Break Ties With Mom

Ah yes, those apron strings do hold us back once in a while but usually not, as in this Royal Enfield Motorcycles commercial, until we are full grown men. OK, so maybe some men never grow up but just go with us here. Our first reaction to this was, “Eew! Gross!” but we soon warmed to the idea even though we aren’t too keen on the idea of standing next to Mom while peeing into the urinal. There are just some things in life that become the tipping point, disconnect us from childhood and deliver us powerfully into adulthood. Apparently, Royal Enfield wants us to think their motorcycles are powerful enough to accomplish such a task.

There’s a specific kind of person who celebrates their dog’s birthday with real cake and real presents and real tears when the dog doesn’t understand any of it. That person isn’t performing love for the dog. They’re finally giving themselves permission to celebrate without anyone judging whether the occasion is important enough.
