Why don't they make TV ads like this

I want a Nutrigrain Bar so much right now.

After watching this ad that was probably designed to garner new clients for the agency, it made me wonder why more real ads aren't this audacious. I mean, for the shock factor alone, it would be worth it. Even if it was for the post 9PM time slot, I think it would be so worth it.

I want companies to take more risks... be willing to push the envelope really far. YOU CAN DO IT!

Steve this is Bill. He owns this place and has more money than GOD!
I'm filthy rich, I'm always tan and I've got a great ass too! But my marriage sucks so I hate my life!

Classic! I agree, we need more commercials like this. I'd almost consider starting to watch TV again. Almost.

If only it was an ad for TV though... which is a shame really. I want to be things from people with ideas like this.

No nudity... just some gentle swearing and wackiness.

Well, if there was, you'd be more innocent than I was led to believe.

Laughter is the best medicine... well, maybe not as good as a morphine drip... but it's still pretty good.
