TV STORE THINKS LIKE 11TH GRADER
Written by: Gabe
There’s a new HH Gregg TV spot in which Peyton Manning and a few other people are giving a mock press conference… to encourage a customer to buy Sony HD TVs because they are the best for watching American football.
The customer asks, “When you say football, do you mean soccer?”
And the press conference panel just cracks up! Fade to black.
It’s not far-fetched for me to imagine a high school English class assignment in which students are asked to write a script for a TV advertisement. I calculate the odds of any given American football player conceiving of this idea and turning it in for a C at 40%. Yes, two of every five 17 year old Friday night lighters crave a big flat screen Sony TV and think soccer is gay. Is it a coincidence then that the EXACT SAME proportion of high school football players become dickhead HH Gregg salesmen?
And what brand of big flat screen TV do I own, you ask?
I saw this commercial last night and wanted to throw my controller at the tv.
I saw it too; my was co-sponsored by Sears. I wrote both Sony and Sears a steamed email. My TV is currently a Phillips, and whatever my next one is, it certainly won’t be a Sony.
