Okay, we’ve all seen it. I have one question:
What the fuck did that Dad do to have his daughter tear up when he mentions missing her?
Speculations:
-
I Can Eat Corn Through a Fence
Mom is not mentioned at all and is probably living the high life somewhere in Vegas and does keep in contact with the daughter. Dad has been clean and sober for 3 weeks! Time to reconcile! And during the holidays!
- With the girl’s remark “I have a favorite place?” implies Dad has not been around for a very very long time. Ergo: the father has been living with “Carlos” since she was a small child.
- Her obvious flabbergasted moment of Dad spreading food on his face suggests that he was a Chef many years ago and did a horrendous thing with some beef stroganoff.
- The “I missed you” line, spoken by both father and daughter has such weight behind it that you know whatever split them apart will rear it’s ugly head within minutes of the cheque coming to the table.
- Because there is no Mother in this commercial I put it to you, dear readers that Dad was Mom and has been living a new life since her birth.
Whatever the cause and reaction to this sorry scenario, I’m glad we only have 20 days until this is shelved until 2010.

This is why I love you.
Naaaailed it! Thanks Meredith!
hahahhaaaaa I auditioned for this commercial!
the best was in the audition the guy running the session did give us sort of different scenarios about where maybe the dad had been. including that the dad had been in jail, the dad had been on the lamb, the dad had skipped town after saying that he’d just gone out for a pack of smokes, etc.
we had fun with this audition, that’s for sure.
Um… WTF were they thinking? Swiss Chalet- the place all deadbeat dads take their scarred daughters??
Not to mention that look of horror when she opens the door. She’s all, “What’s he doing out of the Hospital?”
