A creepily dirty moment in the Elderplan commercial
I’m not sure what Elderplan is, but this ad caught my ear when the female representative at about the one minute mark says something that sounds dirty but isn’t. She’s talking about cheesecake, wasting valuable phone time by humoring a customer (something she’ll surely get in trouble for as soon as the commercial is over), when she says “You’re making me really hungry” in a way that makes it sound like she really wants to say “horny.” Maybe she’s attempting to have covert phone sex with her boyfriend, using code words like “cheesecake” and “Elderplan.”
Another thing I don’t like about this ad is that the host lady acts like she’s not ready to start filming at the beginning of the ad. I know they’re trying to seem all cool and casual about the whole thing, but then they start in with their professional graphics and prepared sales pitch. It’s almost as bad as when people end ads by saying “cut” and showing people walk off the set, chatting with each other about how well the ad went. This one ends almost as annoyingly, and even more confusingly, with the lady asking some guy at the fake phone bank where he’s going, like she didn’t think she was still on the air. Ugh.
