Commercials I Hate, Vol. 4
Product: AMP Energy Drink
Mise En Scene: A writer sits at his desk in an empty office at night. He crumples up another piece of paper and throws it into a trash can that's overflowing with other wadded up rejects from his arid imagination.
The writer takes a swig of AMP and immediately the paper crumples come alive as evil, determined demon creatures. They maraud his desk, nearly stabbing him with a pencil, knocking him in dazed surprise to the floor, and pelting him with paper airplanes. Hundreds of the office-supply homunculi corner the guy, who climbs up a bookcase to an upper level of the office. Having levelled up, of course, he has a boss battle with a 7-foot-tall paper demon. The boss demon clobbers him, knocking him against a shelf, then the guy executes a perfect WWF piledriver right into the paper shredder.
Writer guy finishes it off with another swig of AMP and starts writing, satisfied and smug.
TAGLINE: - Amp your world -
Moral of the story: Drink AMP and your garbage will attack you.
I commend Mountain Dew, the makers of AMP, for their invaluable public service in bringing to light this terrible side effect of their product.
Also, Mountain Dew alone is enough to give me heart palpitations. AMP is likely to peg my blood pressure into the red zone for good. Perhaps the commercial was simply a caffeine-and-guarana-fueled psychotic episode?
