I haven't seen this commercial, but I can only imagine...........

Reminds me of the one where the youngster was driving his mini car on the sidewalk, along the side of a real car, and turning into his driveway, just in time, just before potentially hitting his family's real car, as it turned in at the same time.

Not seen the commercial and perhaps I read too much, but my first thought was that this is a good plot. Obviously the guy is dead.

Actually it would be a good start to a book.

I saw the 30 second commerical...it's not a big deal, a fuss about nothing.

That made me laugh out loud. Tad dark. But not expected at all.

I have not seen the commercial, but from the description it sounds hilarious. Sounds like a throw back to the days when kids really did leave the house after breakfast, and not show up until lunch (if then!), but they then took it to satire by giving the kid so much (real) danger.

I watched and it doesn't seem like his swing set is anywhere near a cliff. He's just swinging and daydreaming on a sunny day.

@Marp @Thank you for providing a link to see first hand. Too bad that others don't take advantage of your post.

Good grief. It's a commercial. Since when have all commercials been true to life?

I didn't notice any cliff, wouldn't have even thought about it if it had not been mentioned here.

I just watched it frame by frame, and I'm not so sure that's a cliff in the scenes where the boy is swinging and then flying the kite. Looks like it could just be rolling land, so that you don't see flat land going forward. It does drop off, but not necessarily a sharp drop like a cliff. Could be just a slope. That would certainly make more sense in the narrative.

Most commericials are INTERESTING. I don't like most of them but I record most of my program so the fast forward is my friend.

I do not see a cliff either. I see a rolling landscape. Perhaps if you live in a flat area these rolling hills seem treacherous.

The focus seemed to be of a boy now man reflecting on his youth of enjoying the pleasures of being outside in the fresh air and sun. Memories kindled by his ride in a convertible on a summer day.

No crisis noted.

The only commercials I like and watch and dont run for my remote are the one for E-Trade with the Bears in the "market" and the other one is for Absorex Cat Litter with cats in a Old West setting....those two make me laugh the others just annoy me....

Just watched it, totally agree.

Some people live with their training wheels on their entire life. 😉
