The scene begins with three prototypically clueless middle american duders watching a football game on TV. Only, and this is the inexplicable part, they have apparently carried their easy chairs and widescreen TV out to the front lawn to do so. The wife of one of them walks by, carrying a bag of groceries from the car to the kitchen. The name-brand product's logo peeks out from the top of the bag, which her husband notices as one of his guests suggests they order a pizza. So, rather than politely asking his wife to put the pie in the oven, he uses his cell to call her and pretends to be calling a pizzeria, and he mock-orders a pizza in the extremely rude and abrupt manner that would guarantee him a large deluxe pie with extra phlegm and fecal matter from your typical delivery joint. Despite the fact that he has just spoken to his wife - WIS WIFE - in a manner that would be considered unacceptably prickish if it was directed at a total stranger making minimum wage, she prepares his lunch in a cliched montage in which an unseen narrator describes the sublime glory of the icy discus. Finally, we see the jerk and his doofus friends enjoying their ill-gotten grease wedges, and one of them asks, as per formula, who delivered. The wife steps out, proclaims "I did, boys!" and sprays them with a garden hose.
Questions:
1 - Why did they move the TV and chairs outside to watch the game?2 - Why act like a shit to his wife when he's asking for a favor?3 - Why pretend to be talking to a pizza parlor instead of his wife?4 - Why act like a shit to a guy in a pizza parlor if he's going to be preparing your food?5 - Why do a favor for someone talking to you like that?6 - Why can't the guests tell there wasn't a delivery? They're sitting in the front yard!7 - If the wife is some kind of submissive masochist who gets off on mistreatment (thus explaining the pizza's preparation) why turn the hose on the guys as they eat?8 - On the other hand, if she's standing up for herself by showing she won't tolerate her husband treating her as a servant, why act like a servant in the first place by following his orders to bring pizza?9 - Is this ad really any worse than most others out there?10 - Why am I bothering with this?

could you expand on this -- how does she 'prepare' it?

The only firmly convincing thing said on this thread so far, including the initial post.

It's already not a very good ad.

This is so clearly not true. It would have been the best advert ever.

i disagree. if any advert for anything at all contained the phrase: "make it yourself, cunto", i'd buy it. even if it was refried spunk in a box.

All you need to make your own pizza at home. Everything but the cunto you're making it for!

kraftwerk should do a concept album about pan-european frozen-food production. "trans-europe pizza express", if you like.

answers, 1-10: the ad industry is dominated by a lot of clueless white dudes.
