The commercial opens on a closeup of ‘Ellen’ from Ellensburg (WA).
For year now I’ve been telling you about the great getaways in Ellensburg.
Cut to Ellen, sitting on the floor with a baby on her lap, and surrounded by babies.
And apparently some of you had such a relaxing visit, we’ve had a bit of a baby boom! All are future Ellen fans who got their start in Ellensburg
Cut to a split-screen of an historic building and a cute baby (screen right) holding a balloon.
Cut to another split-screen of a cute baby girl sitting on an inflatable ring (screen left) and some people fishing in an inflatable boat. Voiceover by the baby.
The river was high, and the fish were biting, Hoo hoo hoo!
Cut to split-screen of a fair-like scene next to the historical building, with a baby boy with headphones in front of him screen right. Voiceover, baby.
I came for the music, and stayed for the rest.
Cut to CU of Ellen.
There’s so much more to Ellensburg than expected. Have you been to Ellen’s lately?
So I guess Ellensburg is a good place to have sex and make babies. Only…
If we’ve had a bit of a baby boom, that means the babies are in Ellensburg, right? So is the commercial actually saying, ‘Come to Ellensburg and knock up our wimmins!’?
Wholesome? It gets called a lot of things by its residents, wholesome is not one of them! Too bad the “baby boom” was (in part) caused by the surprisingly high teen pregnancy rate! :eek:
(Just moved back to the city again. I will never, ever live in Ellensburg again.)
A co-worker of mine lives in Ellensburg. He commutes to the Seattle area every day. All he talks about is all the sheep over there. And how friendly they are.
That friend wouldn’t be a fire captain for a large aircraft manufacturer, would it?
We know that guy.
Of course, he only works 9 days a month (24s). He still misses a few days each winter because the pass is closed.
I’m surprised to learn there is more than one commuter from Ellensburg.
