RenegadeGM 335 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I get the basic premise -- big football fan gets to watch her favorite team anywhere she goes on Verizon Wireless with NFL Mobile.But there are two things that I just can't understand:1) She gets progressively hotter/less frumpy in each scene. Why? Does subscribing to Verizon make you hotter?2) At the 0:11 mark, why does she say "Aww" like something bad (or maybe 'cute'?) happened, and then correct herself "I mean awww yeah!"?One of those commercials where if I saw it once, it wouldn't register with me positively or negatively. But they play it so often during football games, I've had a million opportunities to notice how odd some of these elements are.As for #1, the "premise" (I guess) of the commercial is that she's tired of being alone and wants to meet a guy and thinks NFL Mobile is the way to do it... she thinks learning all about football will make her more appealing to the opposite sex. Which, of corse, gives the commercial an opportunity to showcase all the places you can use it (in line, on the bus, at a party, etc.)And #2... I think the "Awww" is she thinks the Lambeau Leap is cute, but then realizes that's not every football fan-like, so she corrects herself to sound cooler. She's trying to learn to become a hardcore fan.That commercial is on a LOT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Naah, way too easy. Jake: OK. [indicates hippy albino girl playing guitar] Albino Folk Singer: [singing] I have no pigment... Austin: Any girl with a guitar is hot. Albino Folk Singer: [continues singing] I need sunscreen... Austin: Granted, she's a hippy albino. She could still be prom queen. Jake: OK, uh, what about the Fratelli sisters? [indicates awkward Siamese twins conjoined at the head] Austin: So they're slightly disfigured and connected at the head. But combined, those two make up one pretty decent chick. Reggie Ray: Yeah, I'd do 'em. Austin: I know you would, Reggie Ray. But no, I'm looking for somebody who's really messed up. I'm talking about a real ####bomb. [Janie Briggs walks by] Austin: Well, bombs away! Jake: No, no, no, no, anyone but her! Not... Janie Briggs! Guys, she's got glasses and a ponytail! Aw, look at that, she's got paint on her overalls, what is that? Guys, there's no way she could be prom queen! Malik: Damn! That ####'s whack! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
