EOC Week 6: Make 'Em Laugh

This is not just ONE of the funniest commercials I’ve seen, it is THE FUNNIEST commercial I have ever seen, yet! I literally teared up from laughing just by watching this commercial. It is a commercial that’s trying to sell Pro-Line, the most popular sports betting game in Canada’s Sports Select.

The commercial starts off with a guy mixing a jug of Gatorade. He tossed a towel and leaves the room quickly. Unaware, the towel that he tossed caused numbers of muscle relaxers to spill into a whole football team’s jug of Gatorade. Then, the commercial jumps to the football game. The whole football team that drunk that Gatorade are all drugged up and ‘high’ while playing professional football! It shows them laughing, laying on the ground, caressing the referee’s face, and other dumb stuff that people do when they’re drugged. One drugged up player catches the football. Not paying attention nor worried about the game at all, he caught the football and started tickling it like it was a baby, so he gets tackled. After he got tackled, the whole crowd was silent and probably in awe about what they have just seen in the field. Everyone was silent except for one guy who starts screaming from the top of his lungs. Then it shows his ticket that says “Pro-line” on it. Apparently he placed a bet against the drugged up team and he just won. The commercial ends with the line, “Because anything can happen, anyone can win.”

I think that this commercial is hilarious because of the fact that they accidentally drugged up the football team and showed how they act in the field. It was also really funny that only one guy was screaming after watching what happened and he was screaming because he won a bet against that team.
