Oh my gosh, I love this ad so much! Maybe it's just because it has Big Bird in it and references to a bunch of TV shows like Seinfeld and Cheers along with movies like "Rocky" and Ghostbusters, and obviously i'm a big nerd. But, I really really like this ad. They even got John Ratzenberger and George Wendt to appear!:

This is almost Pixar-level CGI, which is surprising for just a random, one-shot commercial. My favorite thing about it is how realistic the perspective looks through the boy's glasses - you can tell he's far-sighted, lol.

Oh my gosh, this commercial is incredible!


You see a break-up in fiction, it's always the girl crying her mascara off, and drowning her sorrows by eating a gallon of ice cream while piled up in bed and watching romcoms, while the guy is always a big jerk playa who's a piece of you-know-what.

This shows that that's not always the case, and in fact, even guys can have their hearts broken by an unsavory girl, and in short . . . guys have feelings and emotions too.

And most important of all, it's a black guy depicted doing this. That's a demographic especially known for having a pervasive "macho" mentality, along with Latinos.
