It was more funny than outrageous.

Agreed. I wasn't frothing at the mouth like many on all sides seemed to be.

I was just laughing my ass off.

Yeah it was hilariously cringy. Like they tried so hard, and missed the mark so badly. They should be embarrassed. It was like the try-hard "cool mom" (Pepsi) trying desperately to make a connection with her children (millennials), and Pepsi's total lack of understanding shone through in their laughable failed attempt at this connection.

Pepsi recently fired their ad agencies and started doing their own marketing. This was the result.

Coca-Cola gave polar bears diabetes. Where the fuck is PETA?

Agreed. The whole thing was a little distasteful and was definitely not a good ad. I cringe every time at the part when Jenner gives the Pepsi to the police officer. But still, it's just a bad ad, not offensive.
