You know the one:

An office drone sits at his desk, slumped over with his head resting in his hand. His voice has a monotonous tone as he continually repeats the same phrase over and over.

“Yes I can hear you.”  
“Yes I can hear you.”  
“Yes I can hear you.”  
“Yes I can hear you.”  
“Yes I can hear you.”

The camera pans down a line of cubicles showing other bored workers doing the exact same thing. A chorus of bored workers are heard repeating the phrase in unison. “Yes I can hear you.”  
Fades to black.

Voiceover: “Verizon. We’re just as irritated as you are.”  
When will they make this commercial?

(That should not be a question mark, it should be a period.)
