City and Durex partnership gets the usual jokes

The funny thing is this is exactly the sort of partnership modern clubs chase because it keeps them visible outside matchdays and makes the brand feel huge, and City are obviously experts at that sort of thing, but the second you attach a name like Durex to a football club you know the internet is going to do what it does and turn it into endless protection jokes, clean sheets jokes, charges jokes, all of it, and while that is predictable it is also a sign that the announcement has landed properly because people are at least talking about it, but the whole thing does make me laugh because rival fans are acting like this is some sort of moral scandal when it is just marketing and yet I still cannot get over how perfect the timing is and now I am just waiting for the next round of even worse jokes because this is never going to end and honestly I am already sick of it and laughing at the same time
 
City really have got a gift for making the internet lose its mind over the most basic stuff because this is just a sponsorship deal and somehow it has turned into a full thread of people trying to outdo each other with the same protection joke and the same charges joke and the same clean sheets joke and it is funny for about ten seconds before you realise half the replies are basically carbon copies of each other but that is football online now isnt it everyone wants to be the first one to say the obvious thing and then act like they have invented comedy and I swear if I see one more person mention being fucked or needing protection I am going to lose it because it is not even clever it is just the easiest possible line and yet here we are with everyone piling in like they are doing stand up in the replies
 
sat in the pub earlier and one of the lads read this out and the whole table just started laughing because it sounds like the sort of fake headline you would make up after a few pints and then you see it is actually real and it gets even better, or worse depending on who you support, and now every City fan I know is pretending to be above the jokes while secretly enjoying the attention because lets be honest this is the kind of nonsense that keeps football chat alive in between the serious stuff, and the best part is there will be someone in every group chat making the exact same clean sheets line by the end of the night and pretending it is original, proper pub material this one
 
city always manage to make everything sound a bit ridiculous dont they and now every reply is just the same old jokes about protection and getting fucked and all that but if youre a rival fan you cant pretend it isnt funny because it absolutely is, i just hope the club dont start taking themselves too seriously about it
 
If this is somehow meant to be about wellness then it is the most on brand nonsense imaginable because City have turned into a club where every announcement feels polished to death and yet somehow still invites the easiest jokes in football, and I am sorry but some of these players must be laughing their heads off behind the scenes because the idea of certain names being linked with Durex is just too obvious, especially when people are already lining up the same charge jokes and penetration jokes and all the rest, but honestly the real issue for me is how predictable it all is and how one player in particular always gets dragged into these conversations whether he has anything to do with it or not and I am sick of seeing the same lazy takes every time his name comes up because the internet has zero imagination and will just keep banging on until it is dead
 
nah i dont agree with the people saying this is some kind of genius marketing masterclass because it is really just an easy headline that gets the same tired jokes recycled again and again and most of the replies are not even that clever they are just people trying to be first with the same line, still it will do the numbers because city are city and people cannot help themselves
 
I mean the partnership is obviously designed to get attention, and it has done exactly that because everyone is making the same jokes within minutes. City are one of those clubs where even the sponsor announcements feel like events, which is annoying if you want something serious but great if you enjoy chaos tbh
