I didn’t have a high school bully, but the TV employees in this ad are exactly how I would think of them. My understanding of bullies comes from television. A great thing about this ad is that the content is very original. I have yet to see anything like this and it’s one of the reasons why I love it. Although I don’t see myself capable of watching it over and over again, I don’t think I could bear it. Then again, the first scene where the window breaks is truly hilarious.
The Sling TV commercial was quite confusing for an average, non-techy viewer like me. I did not have a clear idea of what Sling TV was all about until I went back and watched other reference videos. For some obscure reason, they used very fat kids to get their point across. I wound up sitting through a remotely clear, technical display of what Sling was all about. Even after that experience, I am still not clear on what Sling was hoping to accomplish.

A rising student of film, Graham measures all advertising against his favorite movie scenes. So a commercial with a good car chase plays well. Better with an explosion. And funny. It should be funny. So a speeding car that explodes in an amusing way will sell product.
