This Verizon ad might not have been new for the Super Bowl (or maybe it was), but it was decent. I liked that the crazy mailroom guy from Just Shoot Me appearing on television again, this time with a beard. A guy with a bad cell phone can't hear the caller from the pet store telling him that there was an error and the snake he took home was a poisonous cotton mouth. It tries to bite him and he thinks it's just being playful. Nice!
I liked the earlier Verizon ad too, with the monkeys walking around saying (in monkey), "Can you hear me now?" into their banana phones. I thought that one might have been funnier coming from Verizon's competition though...
1. I really did think the Verizon commercial was making fun of Verizon. How is that mocking their competition? I don't get it.
