When I first saw this commercial, I simply laughed...and then I laughed some more...and then I kept laughing. In this video, a man walks into his kitchen only to look exactly like NBA player Kevin Durant (Spoiler Alert: it IS Kevin Durant!). His son, obviously surprised, says his father looks the way he does because he stayed up late the previous night "watching NBA" on his [Sprint] phone (the advertisement in this commercial). I thought this was somewhat funny, but it gets funnier! His wife, remarks that Daddy "looks fine," (this is when I really started to laugh).
She then suggests her son go play because, "'Mommy has some things for Daddy to do,'" which (I guess for my immature mind) suggests something sexual. This relates to earlier chapters in Comic Relief, as this type of humor is inappropriate. However, the cognitive shift occurs in the next scene, which shows Kevin Durant picking leaves out of the gutter. Now, I know we all thought that they were going to do something else, but what is funny is that she is just using him for his height (the shift!).
Watch the video, and you cannot help but to laugh.
Hi Mackie, Thanks for the two posts. I am glad you got something out of Morreall, and thanks for sending along the Kevin Durant commercial. I laughed too. dw
