Did that guy just get blown?
This commercial is one of the first I ever became obsessed with analyzing. Okay so, they went with a semi-creepy Willy Wonka thing here. Forget the fact that the computers are made out of colorful clay by elephant feet and blue collar Oompa-Loompas, what in the hell is going on in the first couple seconds of the ad. The lights are off, and then a very relaxed man starts singing "Lollipop," as a man pops up from directly in front of him and finishes putting his clothes on. They then share a knowing slight "Thanks for the bj/No problem, bro" head nod. It is weird and creepy even without the fact that "Lollipop" is the song they went with.
"Okay so you just blow me, and then I'll start singing, which will trigger all the lights and machinery in this males-only factory. Oh sorry you weren't quite ready for me to sing yet."
That is the undertone of the first 2 seconds of this commercial. All it needs is the black guy smoking a cigarette and the other guy wiping his mouth to really drive the point home. If they took out even one of the weird things (lights off, guy popping up, guys clothes not being all the way on, the head nod, singing freaking "Lollipop") it wouldn't have screamed blowjob anywhere near as much. Someone had to have noticed when they made it.
What happened to "Dude! You're getting a Dell!"?
