I saw this ad on TV for the first time on the weekend, a few hours after I had been told a friend had died of a heart attack. So while it just hits raw nerves for me, is it funny for anyone?

With such poor, derivative creative we wonder why people hate ads.
Either that or the client wrote it.

Did they forget their creative director on this one? What’s with the bad framing, the dirty pool-surround glass… and the overall shitty quality of the ad?
