TV Public Service Announcement
Pete's Couch
|
|
|
This commercial opens on a teenage boy sitting on the couch in a basement with his two friends.
|
|
Teen Boy: I smoked weed and nobody died. I didn't get into a car accident, I didn't o.d. on heroin the next day, nothing happened. We sat on Pete's couch for 11 hours. Now what's going to happen on Pete's couch? Nothing.
|
He talks directly to camera.
|
|
You have a better shot of dying out there in the real world, driving hard to the rim, ice skating with a girl.
|
As the spot progresses, they continue to sit on the same couch, but the couch now appears at a BMX trail, next to kids playing basketball on an outdoor court, next to kids ice-skating.
|
|
No, you wanna keep yourself alive, go over to Pete's and sit on his couch til you're 86. Safest thing in the world.
|
Cut back to the couch and the kids in the basement.
|
|
Me? I'll take my chances out there.
|
Cut to the couch in front of a movie theater.
|
|
Call me reckless.
|
The teenager boy gets up off of the couch and walks towards the theater.
