It started with a pony. Guy offers first little kid a pony and gives her a toy. Offers the 2nd kid a pony and brings out a real one. First kid “you didn’t say it was a real one”
These commercials get better and better. I like the one where the guy has this kid stacking stuff on the table. The guy puts some of it in his pocket when the kid isn’t looking.
In another one the guy treats the first kid like crap and lavishes gifts on the 2nd because he’s a new customer.
These commercials do a great job illustrating the chickenshit business practices we all put up with every day. They aren’t making this stuff up. They’re just using kids to make the point.
Anyone know who the actor is? He’s got a tough job. He has to be an asshole without actually seeming cruel to the kids. I think he nails his performance.
I love these commercials too; not only funny and entertaining, but, damn, Ally Bank gets it! The actor is attractive, but mostly appeals to me because of his facial and body movements that convey the corporate attitude the commercial is going for. My accounts are with one of the biggies (hint: BOA), but I’m so damn lazy I haven’t looked into switching to any other bank. Don’t know if Ally has banks near me, but I’m going to look into it.
These are absolutely adorable. I would have sworn the kids had a script, because that just seems mean to do to them without forewarning. The behind the scenes video was hilarious, though.
One odd thing. I’ve seen the pony commercial before, but I would swear it wasn’t for Ally Bank, which I hadn’t heard about until now. Do they operate under another name? They apparently used to be GMAC, but that doesn’t sound familiar either.
I have also seen and enjoyed the pony commercial, but am almost certain that it was indeed for some other company, as I had never heard of Ally Bank until this thread…
