OK I watched it. It did not make me laugh which is my criteria. I guess it is just West Coast stuff. As a rule, I do not like advertisements. I do think the Mayhem guy is funny, but that is about it. Sorry.

West Coast has nothing to do with it.

The entire ad is one big reference to the cult classic comedy film "Office Space" from 1999.

So if you've never seen that, it wouldn't make sense.

That was great!!

Isn't the song playing in the background the same one that played during the printer bashing scene in the movie? Smile

Ya, I feel like it met the bare minimum. Like it needed more of something.

That's a different song. The song in the commercial is in the movie though when Peter goes into work after being hypnotized I think.

Pretty decent ad. I think I'll buy my next stapler at Wal-Mart. The red one I keep on my desk seems to have disappeared.
