You Almost Seem Interested in Me

Late-night phone hotlines are such easy targets I barely want to even bother with them on this site. It’s enough trouble just calling them every night. There are some doosies covered here, and this spot is a good addition. Unlike the other regional ads that desperately try to look local, this one definitely seems local, and if it’s not they’ve done a good job making it look that way.
It might just be my imagination, but watching this ad the girl seems somewhat less interested in entertaining anyone. I think perhaps she is being held hostage and doing this spot under duress.

I hope to god they didn’t actually try to sync her lips to the voice-over, because if they did they did the worst job ever.

This is actually the funnist commercial I’ve seen in a while. First of all the woman is doing a spectacular job of earning the $25 they probaly shelled out to aquire such a fine thespian. Then there’s the fact that she’s in a suprisingly cheeky mood for someone coming out of a 10 year roller coaster ride of booze and sanity. Finally you’ve got to love the conviction.This woman obviously wants me (or some more valium) If she ain’t marryin’ then I will be single forever…

What amazes me about this advert is that they chose someone who isn’t even the remotest bit “hot” - she’s cute at best, but she sounds really uninterested and a little on the dopey side.
Do I really want to spend time with someone who will sound like her? I think not.
