Talk about a depressing commercial! The combination of the sad/carnival music (or whatever it is) and the guy who seems like he wants to kill himself already at 6:08 in the morning, makes me feel bad about life (and this one isn’t much better.)
Let’s do a quick play-by-play…
“I don’t wanna get up” – rolls up sleeves
“I don’t wanna go to work” – gets out razor
“I HATE mornings” – finds veins
“Greeeaat, I have 20 minutes, no time for coffee” – about to slit wrists
“Hello, my friend” – but wait!
[drinks 5-Hour Energy shot] – makes annoying face
…
“Let’s do this!” – makes another annoying face while adjusting tie, but lives another day…in his depressing life, where 5-Hour Energy is his life support system
ANNOYING!
The funny part is that he sets his alarm for 6:08 (unless he hit snooze a bunch?) yet he complains that there isn’t enough time for coffee. Shouldn’t he just set his alarm for a little earlier? Maybe he should go to bed earlier? Does he eat breakfast? Any way you slice it, this guy isn’t living a healthy lifestyle. Also, these shots are about $2-3 a pop, so his weeks could get fairly expensive if he’s downing them on a regular basis.
I’ll admit though that I do like 5-Hour Energy at times. Normally I use it as a caffeine boost before going on a morning run, where I don’t want a cup of coffee sloshing around in my stomach. But that isn’t all that frequent and I never drink it on work days.
