Peloton's New Christmas Ad Is Giving People Some Serious 'Black Mirror' Vibes

Peleton workout bikes, the cheapest of which costs $2,245, have earned a reputation for some unusual advertising campaigns.


This holiday season, however, the company has outdone themselves with an unsettling commercial about a woman whose significant other surprises her with a workout bike for Christmas.

Everyone on Twitter seemed to agree there was something chilling about how excited this woman was for her workout bike.

It seemed almost like we were watching a tiny episode of Black Mirror.



Putting aside the strange tone, there were definitely some issues with the writing.
