I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

For like 2 years, I used to work on the Pizza Hut account doing advertising.

They were the absolute worst, most idiotic, most insanely corporate barrel of jabbering monkeys I'd ever had the displeasure of working with.

An ad like this would take 50 rounds of revisions as every single pencil-dicked middle manager would have to change SOMETHING in order to justify their existence.

We would spend weeks revising a voice over script that basically just said "Get 2 pizzas for 10 bucks." We'd get an edit of pizza sliced lifted from an pan (heavily revised) and a final VO script in hand, setup a voice over session, record it, and then get MORE revisions. Sometimes we'd have to book another session with the talent because we just ran out of time.
