This commercial for Head & Shoulders has bothered me since the first time I saw it. I can't remember when that was, because I'm clearly trying to block it out.
First of all, I mean, just technically speaking, it does not take 30 seconds to catch a pop-up. Secondly, at U.S. Cellular Field, for example, there's no way a catcher could talk to any of the fans because the dugout is in the way for most of the infield on either side. Thirdly, why is he pitching Head & Shoulders for Men to a WOMAN? Fourthly (is that a word?) – when the chick starts playing with her hair all like, "tell me more Joe while I bat my eyelashes and breathe heavily," it's just playing into the stereotype that women are only sports fans for one reason. So yeah. Not a fan of this commercial.
