AT&T's family of synchronized bobbleheads. Is this horrible? Yep!
1. Why bring your entire family with you to pick out a phone plan? Do we really need Junior's input? When he bleats "10gs?" to confirm that the supervisor said "10gs," I want Dad to remind Junior that Dad is going to be handling this and that Junior needs to keep his ugly yap shut. Unless, of course, Junior wants to pay for his own goddamned phone.
2. Then again....considering that Dad is so knob-stupid that he actually thinks that the purchase of a phone plan is "going to bring this family closer together," maybe Junior should be in charge of the whole operation. This has never been explained to me- how exactly does giving everyone in the family a phone which allows for unlimited talk and text bring that family "closer together?" Does Dad really believe that his wife and kids are going to be using all that "connectivity" to actually connect with each other?
3. I guess it's supposed to be funny that this family is lined up according to height and nods and moves it's hands in unison. Unless AT&T's message is "we think our customers are easily-manipulated, vapid robots, like these people," I just don't get it.
4. Are all the "yeps" at the end supposed to mean anything other than "we had no idea how to end this commercial without making these carbon based barely-life forms look like drooling suckers for whatever the supervisor tells them, so here you are?" Or was this supposed to be funny again, and I just don't get it because I'm not intelligent enough to pick up on the biting satirical wit?
