In this silly ad for Invesco, I guess some financial
investment firm or something, we see four different people all talking at once
about finances, and they’re there when the hero of the ad wakes up, they’re
there when he’s taking a shower, they’re there when he’s walking, they’re there
when he’s in the men’s room, etc.
Wow, what a pain that must be! Unless you think of the glass
as half full. Yes, for you see, you could get revenge in these situations,
couldn’t you, if they won’t go away?
In the morning, breathe your morning breath in their faces.
See if they keep talking then.
In the shower, squirt some shampoo in their eyes, or coat
them with soap scum. Plus, you could do other things to your uninvited shower
invaders. (You imagine them.)
When walking on an escalator, trip them and then step on
them.
In the restroom, go take a stinky dump, and see if they’re
still there afterwards.
When playing squash, serve the balls at them hard until they
run away.
So as you can see, you can always turn the tables on these
people. When they’re on TV, you can’t harm them, but once they’re following you
around, wow, you can totally mess with them! And wouldn’t that be fun? Maybe
even more fun than being left alone in peace, if you look at it the right way.
Here’s the cacophony commercial:
(BTW: I really like this ad. It’s so accurate about
financial news shows. I just can’t help myself from making fun of it anyway.)
