I'm certain everyone here watches the PBA on TV and has seen the commercials. I'm having a hard time understanding the Barbasol one.
Ok, the guy drives a truck full of Barbasol, and we see him with facial growth getting longer and longer. OK, they're showing that time is passing. Looks like at least two weeks to me. Is he not showering either? He can't fit a razor or SHAVE CREAM in his luggage?
Now his long trip is over and he walks into the house to find a note left on a Barbasol can. "Welcome home handsome" Is this wife talk for "go shave and shower before you even come near me?"
Next we see him clean shaven walking up the stairs. I'm assuming it's to the bedroom. Next shot we see the wife all made up and hair done, wearing, obviously, one of his flannel shirts. She lights a candle on the table and we see breakfast has been set, pancakes and coffee await. WHAT? Is it that late or that early? If you've been gone a couple of weeks is breakfast what you're after when you finally get home?
She rushes to embrace him, but watch how she does it. She turns her head to the side minimizing skin contact, for what, so her makeup doesn't smear? (I've been gone two weeks and I've followed the unwritten instructions and you can't even kiss me?)
Maybe it's just me, but I'd be expecting a much different homecoming. So this commercial's message is shave with Barbasol and only get breakfast when you finally get back home?
