Something tells us NBC expected a different demographic for Monday night’s Emmy awards than MTV did for last night’s Video Music Awards. That something is the advertisements, which caught a few by surprise.
Thank you Depends for making it totally clear who the #Emmys target demo is

The real show tonight: The advertising versus last night's "awards show." Depends ad vs. Trojan Ecstasy ad. So. #Emmys

There was just a Depends ad. The #emmys know their audience

There is a Depends commercial on the Emmys trying to make #Underwareness a thing. All other ad agencies can close up shop now.

Oh dear god, someone just flashed a Depends on #Emmys ad. That's not #underawareness. That's TMI.

I am not seeing a depends commercial. Oh, now I am not seeing the actual depends garment. Happy place. Happy place. #emmys

OMG the commercial for Depends on the #Emmys literally has the hashtag #underwareness

Fitting that depends is the sponsor for the Emmys, because the average age for the white male voters is approximately 77. #burnthisdown

That is some kinda brave. Sheryl Underwood really just posed in Depends on national TV. #Emmys pic.twitter.com/4zHtyHI1lX
