What's funny is that he turns around and smiles at the end, after getting dumped by his dinner date and he squash buddy...only to learn that they are going to play squash together, without him. Every thing is ok, because he's got a snifter full of skor bars in his freezer.
What does this guy do for a living? He's like the American Gigolo. After watching this commercial, I see why films like "Fight Club" and "American Beauty" were made...and now, I eat Skor bars because I enjoy irony.
This commercial embodies the excessive lifestyle of the 1980s. Look at him. He's single. He's coming home to a cold (yet stylish) apartment. Both his car and his boat are broken. His squash partner is now dating his girlfriend. All he has is this candy bar. This guy is a working-stiff, sad loser. How depressing is this commercial? Well, at least he's got "High-End" problems. It's not like he missed is social security check. At least he doesn't own a cat.
That commerical is so cheese-ball. I think that is how Yuppies were back then, though. That commercial was so 1980s. I wish I was that sophisticated. I should have a crystal snifter full of Skor bars in my freezer. I should have dates to play squash. In Swedish "Skor" means "Shoe." I wonder why they marketed that candy bar that way...well, I guess it worked for Haagen Dazs. Sounds exotic, so it sells.
hey its 1987, what month is this.. October ah... let me check my stocks... YIKES!!
Games over Yuppie scum, you just keep suckin on that candy... ah memories... ps I hope he's living off that chocolate cause I am sure it's all he's got now!!
looks like a late nite hook up ad lol, the nite exchange lol lol
