Products of Your Imagination
I love D&D. I really do. But if I had seen this ad on tv when younger, I'm not sure what my reaction would have been.

Cast of Characters and analysis in order of appearance:
***Chick with the pigtails is WAY too into this game.
***Ditto for the blond dude. Too much koolaid for both of them.
***The DM looks old enough to be a child molester. And he looks like one of those really didactic DMs, like you're playing Live Action Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
***I have never imagined a dragon as lame as that one. Also, my imagination is not in cartoon format.
***I think I've played D&D with the girl with the glasses. And she acted just like that. Generally it took her 20 minutes to make one decision each turn, and this girl looks like she's about to do the same.
***The dude with glasses and the blue shirt IS Cameron from Ferris Bueller's Day Off (I noticed this after reading the Youtube comments) and is also the only person, along with Indecisive Glasses Girl, who looks like he's played D&D before.
***Here we see Pigtail girl again, mooning around wondering what to do. I'm guessing she's a bard.
Other remarks: watching Pigtail girl's eyes dart around like she's in a waking nightmare is hilarious. And I love how the voiceover sometimes switches into "inner voice command whisper" (use your lightning bolt!).
D&D is exactly like this. Every time. And I always cheer with the other players when we hit the dragon squarely in the head with our lightning bolts.
