Adventures in Advertising: Capital One rips off the Hangover

Check out this video of a recent Capital One commercial about traveling to Vegas, baby!


Notice anything around the 9 second mark? Specifically ripping off a joke from one of the best comedies in recent memory? Sure asking, "Is Caesar home?" isn't exactly saying, "This isn't the real Caesar's Palace is it?...Did Caesar live here?" But it's as close as you can possibly get.



While you're at it Capital One, why not have the very-manly and very-hairy Vikings get waxed and start screaming in a Vegas spa? Oh that already happened in a movie too?

Try thinking outside the box. I happen to think that seeing the Vikings gamble (this is Vegas after all) would be funny. You know you'd laugh if one guy yells out, "I got $500 on Black, bitchesssss!" Or have them go all Siegfried and Roy all over everyone's ass and start doing a God-damned tiger show in the middle of the strip.
