Another totally relatable exercise bike ad
Before we get started- does it bother anybody else that neither of these all-glass apartments seem to have any curtains anywhere? So the wealthy, beautiful people living in them want to live in fishbowls? What if these apartments are ever rented to people who AREN'T physically perfect or- and I know, this is kind of a stretch in the year 2020- might actually want some privacy now and then?
Ok, on to the ad- wow, not only do these people have identical apartments each which look into the other, but they residents have both purchased identical exercise bikes which have been placed perfectly to challenge each other, and they choose to exercise at exactly the same time, logging in to the same class. Now that is a series of convenient contrivances.*
If you thought for one moment that this ad was going to end with the guy winning, well.....you haven't watched a lot of commercials this century, have you?
A YouTube commenter makes an observation I made the third or fourth time I watched this- as the girl leaves, she gives a little flirty shoulder twitch to the guy she "beat" as they both walk away to enjoy a little privacy in the small part of their ridiculous apartment that is not visible to the rest of the planet. But then we get a zoom-out view in which we see her giving that same flirty shoulder twitch- is this the same scene from a different POV, or does she do it again? Either way, it's pretty stupid. It's like the people who made this obnoxious little nugget just wanted to remind us that these people live in ridiculous apartments. We got it already.
*Ok, I get that these two people must know each other, otherwise they'd have no idea they were in direct competition, as their screens only show first names. So are they coworkers who happen to live in identical buildings directly across from each other? They didn't meet because they live in the same building- they DON'T live in the same building. Are they dating? I don't get that vibe- it seems to me that these two people just realized at some point that they were in the same "race" and motivated each other to work out harder. But how did that happen? So confused.
