I have searched high and low for a video of a commercial of relatively recent (within 5 years or so) vintage.

It’s a commercial for T-Mobile. The gist is that parents of various social, ethnic and cultural groups are calling their kids to account for their phone usage and the high bills. It’s a rapid-fire montage of parents calling their kids’ names. For example, a very Irish-looking mother is yelling at her son, “Seamus O’Connor Flaherty!” Cut to a rich family in the Hills: “Buffy Heaterton Pinkford!” Cut to an Indian family: “Rajesh Pondecherri Koothrapali.” And so on.

Anyone? Anyone?
