Online-poker body spray is for winners only
This fake-product spot from the very real Paddy Power Poker Pro doubles down on a Benny Hill/Monty Python vibe to beat the odds, grab the jackpot, bust the house and ... oh, screw it, the commercial's pretty funny, OK? The mannequin's an especially inspired and creepy touch. And I'm betting (sorry) that's not a roll of chips in the guy's skin-tight trousers, because he looks mighty happy to see that blonde after he applies the fictitious Pro Spray. One question, though: Since online gambling's always a losing proposition, why would any real winners sign up to play? Via Adverbox.
