In this (joke) ad for Watch ESPN, the app that allows you to watch ESPN on your smartphone, we see four vignettes of people using this app to secretly watch the World Cup at work.
The first one shows an investment banker collect his mail from his administrative assistant, who is covertly watching the World Cup on his smartphone, and the investment banker opens an envelope, reads the contents, and says: "I can't believe it. I'm being audited by the IRS!" And just then a goal is scored in the game, and the assistant leaps up from his seat and cheers. And the banker fires his assistant.
In the second vignette, a lawyer is meeting with a client while secretly watching World Cup on his tablet. The client, worried about his prospects, says: "This is my third strike, so if I'm found guilty, I could go up for life." And just then, a goal is scored in the game, and the lawyer leaps up from his seat joyfully and cheers, whereupon he is beaten up by his felonious client, sending the guy to prison for life.
In the third vignette, a patient consults with a doctor while the doctor covertly watches the World Cup out of the corner of his eye on his smartphone. The patient says: "I'm here for a second opinion. My doctor says I have erectile dysfunction." And just then, the doctor's favorite team scores, and he raises both arms, screaming: "Yes!" The patent storms out of the office.
In the fourth vignette, a parcel delivery driver is secretly watching the World Cup on the tablet in his lap while he's on the job. A spectacular goal is scored while he's driving, he raises his arms in celebration, and he has a distracted driving accident.
And this would show everyone why they need the Watch ESPN app, the app that lets you watch ESPN anytime, anywhere!
