I suppose that I like this commercial because it involves basketball and the main character is named Doug! Doug is a bit like me, particularly when he disgustingly notes "That was a travel" when a dude goes for an under-the-leg slam dunk. And the closing line always makes me smile - "Grab your umbrellas ladies, Hurricane Doug is gonna make it rain."
I think I would have had a black guy eating the sandwich watching white guys playing basketball. The black guy would polish off the sandwich, burp, then head to the court, where he would intercept a pass, head for the basket, and do a ball under the leg, head level with the rim, super dunk, recover the ball and twirl it perfectly on the end of his finger, then pass it into the tummy of a speechless white guy. Then leave the court smiling.
ReplyDeleteSick One - that would be too much like reality!
ReplyDeleteI know what the guy feels like. No one gives a crap about my opinions. I get phone calls from pollsters who tell me they are taking a survey of what radio programs I listen to. And I listen to radio a lot. Got a call last night while listening to Mark Levin on AM 950. So the guy is courteous and explains the purpose of the call and asks how old I am. I say 71. Then he says, "Well, uh, is there anyone younger in the house, any members 54 and under?" I say No and he says, "Thanks, have a nice day."[Click]
ReplyDeleteDon't despair, Biz. Turn age to your advantage. Am sure you get phone calls for donations this time of year. All you got to do is tell the caller you're 71 and on limited income, and they will get off the phone and you won't have to feel guilty.
