Sometimes Commercials Need to Rephrase Their Dialouge
So I was kinda in the half sleep last night when an infomercial for The New Smart Mop came on. Normally I’d just ignore an infomercial, but it was Anthony Sullivan, and (mind you the part where I said I was half asleep) thought to myself “Didn’t he just die?”. By the time I had realized I was thinking of Billy Mays, I was already wide awake and hooked on the commercial.
I’m just going to show you the video, and you tell me if you catch the “what the fuck did he just say” moment….
Holy shit! Did he just suggest, “in these tough times”, we can spill a soda on the floor, mop it up, put it in a glass and FUCKING DRINK IT?!?
Surely no one would suggest such a thing. Let’s break this down word for word.
“And in these tough times, wring it back into the glass and it’s ready to drink all over”
Well. There’s no way of getting around that one. He stops short of saying “that’s what you lowly, middle-class scumbags do, isn’t it???”
Then just now I was watching TV and a commercial for the new Trojan Ecstasy condoms. The one where the middle-aged couple come rushing into the store to talk about their sex lives (gross).
“What are these?!? It feels like there’s nothing there!”
Now the normal rational person is going to interpret that as her way of saying “It’s like there’s no condom there!”, but imagine if you were the poor sucker who just fucked his wife and she’s telling the whole world that it felt like there was nothing there.
