Especially at the 3-sec mark. How many people pull their hair in a melodramatic way to make their point? Anybody?
Marc,
Are you aware that this is the exact same ad but with different actors that has been running for nearly 30 years in NYC. Maybe the old version played elsewhere, too. In NYC market they've been showing the re-shot ad (your video) for about a year now. It has the exact same dialogue, the exact same inflections in the actors' readings, the exact same situations, EXACTLY the same in every respect, except they replaced the actors. I've never seen that done with an ad before.
I can quote you the entire commercial 'cause I've been hearing it nearly daily for 30 years. Oie!
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
