How is this commercial disastrous? Let me count the ways...
- No educated, affluent mother (as the setting, her wardrobe and appearance make this woman out to be) would really think it's ok for a 16-year-old to play the lottery. If she looked and sounded different, it might be believable. But as they're selling it, no one's buying.
- She's talking to herself in a way that no one ever talks to themselves
- Her acting
- His acting
- The look on her face that is supposed to say, "Oops, you caught me", but really says, "Who the hell let you in my house???"
- Why should we "take it from him"? What makes him a freakin' expert???
- The fact that to sell his credibility, they have to put him in his old Patriots jersey
- The graphics that, again in an effort to sell his credibility, describe him as a "legend"
- How, in a matter of seconds, the woman is convinced that this random home intruder must be right despite the presentation of any concrete evidence
- He hands her a football. Like there's any 16-year-old boy in America that's never owned a football before?
- The baby blue bow on the football
- The ridiculously long anti-gambling web address at the end. It's almost like they don't want you to visit it!
