I didn't watch the surreal life because apparently it hates my firefox
But I found the skittles ad to be essentially nothing, I don't find it offensive, it's not making an attack or making light of anyones ethnicity. I'm not asian, but if I were I really don't think I'd be offended.
As for the tonight show one, it's satire, it is making light of many aspects of eastern culture which is what satire is all about - like what stompy said, just laugh... no offense or deliberate attack was intended by these
I'm personally curious as to how these commercials would have been different if they WERE about african culture. Quite frankly, you just don't see many satires of actual african culture.
