In this commercial for Ameriprise Financial, actor Tommy Lee Jones
talks about how many people’s financial dreams are falling apart, but
“…Ameriprise advisors can help keep your dreams alive like they’ve helped
millions of others.” But with this keeping things alive metaphor, and the
popularity of vampires and zombies lately, I was hoping he’d say: “Ameriprise
advisors can help keep your dreams alive, just like how vampires and zombies
stay alive after death.” Oh, but then maybe they should use another person as
their spokesman; like, say, maybe George Romero or Tim Burton? (Then the
commercial could have an entirely different look, like The Retirement
Investment Before Christmas, or Night
of the Living American Dream.)
Here’s the Ameriprise advisor advert:
