DIY ad follow-up
This is a follow-up to an earlier post about an ad I saw for DIY Network.
I just saw a slightly different version of the ad. It’s slightly more creepy because Paul buzzes the power drill suggestively during the “kitchen of your dreams” line: “Wanna wake up to the — buzz, buzz — kitchen of your dreams?”
However, there’s an additional bit at the end that changes the tone of things. It may or may not have been in the first version I posted — if it was there, I must have chopped it off by mistake. In this additional bit, the woman is fully dressed and obviously satisfied by Paul’s performance in the kitchen. She says “So… how are you in the bath?” And he says, “That’s another show, ma’am.”
I’m much more comfortable with this part than with the lead-up to it, partly because he wipes the goofy look off his face when he answers her. I thought that goofy look made him look like a nut. More importantly, she’s now the one in charge. She is fully dressed and awake, and in a mood to make sexual innuendos about further services he can provide. This is better than him barging in on her in her pajamas.
