We love commercials.
We spent an Internet era
making local commercials,
and we love being random,
like when I told Sasha
that he outfit looked low-key "drell,"
and "drell" isn't even a word. I just made it up.
I also made up the fact that I have a friend named Sasha
because it's so random.
Now fake Sasha won't stop saying "drell."
- That's right. - 'Cause she's so random.
- Yeah. - And fake.
We also love doing random, made-up-on-the-spot commercials,
which is why we're once again going to play...
Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
We have two hats in front of us.
In one hat we have a product that we need to sell.
In the other hat we have a way that we need to sell it.
Mm-hm, and we're gonna pull a piece of paper out of each of these hats,
then combine them to create an assignment,
which we will then create a 30-second commercial on the spot,
in front of that green screen right over there. It's green.
And then you tell us in the comments,
who had the best commercial.
Let's do it.
Okay, I'm getting started.
- Okay. You first. - Um... I don't-- I don't.
- I don't-- no-- - Then don't look down.
I keep trying to look down but don't.
Random? I'm so random.
I'm going to pick a "rantom" one.
I'm gonna call you Sasha.
I just like Sasha. She's so drell.
"Ham sandwich."
Mm. That's what I'm gonna be selling.
How are you gonna sell it
using a key marketing theme
or, uh, approach?
By promising, it'll get you a date.
Ham sandwich...
using empty promises of romance.
Go!
-
you look like you need a date.
Who doesn't?
But what you really need
is a ham sandwich.
Yeah, trust me. Listen up.
You just walk around with this ham sandwich,
and the right lady will see you and say...
And you'll say...
I promise you it'll get you a date.
( wolf howling )
Okay, pretty good on timing,
and the creep factor was really high,
but I was very focused on the sandwich,
which, it was mesmerizing.
I'm like that pickup artist guy.
You know? He has a hat like this.
He's a creeper who teaches--
- Let me find out... - ...teaches you how to get dates.
...what I am going to advertise--
"Mop water."
Mop water?
Okay, that sounds like a tough sell.
Uh, "Using the catchphrase 'Great for parties.'"
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
Okay.
Okay, go!
Hey, I'm Party man Stan.
I just came from that really great party
'cause you know me.
I know great parties--
open bars, open-faced sandwiches,
banners that say "Party, Party Party."
And you know what?
Mop water!
( grunting )
So if you wanna have a great party,
get yourself some dirty mop water.
( grunts )
I've got some right here.
It's very good.
Going on my hand
because that's what great parties are about.
Made from pure mop-up stuff from previous parties.
Time!
Drink your party. It's great.
( water trickling )
Oh...
Okay, a little bit of a violation there.
It's okay. About five seconds over,
but, I mean, you made me wanna drink that mop water.
We'll just do a jump cut in post.
You got any more?
Bring it down.
Just smell my hand.
That'll answer your question.
Oh, gosh, you guys used real mop water.
Not good.
Okay, my next product is...
Great for parties, though.
..."bowling pins."
Yes.
Sell a bowling pin using the marketing principle of...
"But you're allergic to the product."
You know how people who are allergic to products
try to sell them all the time.
Easy peasy.
Okay, go for it.
Uh, uh, uh, you need these...
bowling pins.
Uh, I can't touch 'em.
I'm allergic to 'em, but you need them.
They don't look new, but they are.
I promise it's for texture.
Uh, and I'd love to hold it so you'd see it,
- but-- Oh, no, my thumb touched it. - ( phone ringing )
Oh, no!
Mom!
Mommy-- ( gagging )
- ( ringing continues ) - ( dog barking )
Time!
You okay?
You're not really allergic to bowling pins, are you?
Oh, a death scene.
Did I make you believe it?
That's good. That was very believable.
All good commercials should end in a death scene
due to bowling pins.
I'm going to sell "macaroni necklace."
Is that plural?
Macaroni necklace.
Using a before-and-after.
Before and after?
Okay.
Okay, you ready?
Are you ready?
Is this the commercial?
Okay, so I'm gonna say, "Ready and..."
Neh-- Hold on.
That was the-- that was the after--
It'll make sense later.
Hold on. Not ready.
Not ready.
- Oh, this-- - Not ready!
- This feels like a violation. - Not ready!
Three, two, one, go!
Hey, everybody! Look at me.
You may have notice my...
That's right. It's draped right in this area,
but it impacts my entire way of life.
You too can have a...
Don't be like the former me.
Look at this guy.
He's such a loser.
What is he doing?
He's putting-- He's fidgeting with his bellybutton,
which is his best friend,
his only friend,
but look at me,
over here, in total contrast
with this 1-800-neckliss.
Time!
Okay. You bend the rules a little bit.
You bend the rules a little bit.
But it's freakin' before and after.
- I had to have an after. - And then you went long.
But it's okay. It's okay.
- All right. - Let us know in the comments
what you think and if you're in the mood
for buying any of these things.
