Ancestry.com (Joke) Feud Ad
In this (joke) ad for Ancestry.com, two men would independently look into their family trees, discover that their ancestors were one engaged in a famous family feud in the olden days (sort of like the Hatfields & the McCoys), and so they seek each other out to talk about this fascinating newfound discovery. But once they meet each other, they instantly dislike one another, and after getting into a heated argument and a fight, their families all get involved in the fight, which becomes an enormous, brutal brawl. And this brawl, caused by two people looking up their ancestry on Ancestry.com, brings this huge notorious family feud back to life, rekindling it anew, leading to all manner of murder and mayhem and destruction of lives and property galore for generations to come. Which just goes to show you: like they say, you never know what you'll find when you look up your family tree on Ancestry.com!
