Here’s a commercial for Quicken Loans that makes no sense at
all. Some guy is in a city park with his dog, and the dog starts talking to him
in English, demonstrating his impatience. Well, the dog’s owner isn’t taking
this guff from a dog, so he says: “Who do you think I am: Quicken Loans?” (?)
Then the announcer guy saunters into the park walking a bunch of dogs, while
talking about loans. And what does this make me think of? Well, the only thing
that comes to mind is this: Quicken Loans must kidnap people’s dogs and hold
them hostage until the loan is paid off. I mean, why else would the Quicken
Loans guy be walking so many dogs at once? Unless they’re such an unsuccessful
company that they have to run a dog-walking business on the side just to make
ends meet. (Am I supposed to be thinking about this stuff? It seems like this commercial has a slight messaging problem to me.)
