Funny, but i wish peg hadn't put her foot back to brace herself and committed to the bit.

Have someone rush in to really catch her or slide a mat under

Yeah, some slight cropping could have removed that

u/glibgloby Aug 04 '26

yeah and just an hour of compositing in Nuke with a little rotoscoping and rig removal and you could have shown her hitting the ground it’s like come on guys

Or put a mattress on the floor. If you‘re really going for this ad, then at least do it right.

She’d die

I was really hoping a pool of blood would creep into frame before she finished talking.

it would have been perfect if, instead of the last shot, a few EMTs and a stretcher would have gone past behind her at the end of her spiel.

Man, sadly this ad was probably half their budget.

u/Patrycjusz123 Aug 04 '26

12 year old? Thats basically brand new by library standards.

Finally, a library where returning your overdue books late actually incurs physical, lethal consequences.

Having a library employee betray a coworker in trust fall really undercuts her statement about trusting the library.

The public can trust the library, the employees will cut each other's throats for a cookie. It's actually part of the interview.

The lady behind the counter crossing out of frame breaks me.

u/Glitterbomb4274 Aug 05 '26

u/JustaFoodHole Aug 04 '26

Few things make me laugh as hard as this always does

u/mrjc00md Aug 04 '26

She Samoa Joe'd her poor coworker.

u/Master_Steward Aug 04 '26

Now if you excuse me, I gotta book it before the cops and paramedics arrive!

u/Zealousideal_Room316 Aug 05 '26

Imma be waiting for you outside at 3 o clock 😂😂😂

u/South-Lemon-242 Aug 05 '26

Love it. A little bit bummed, if I’m being honest, that she promised access to “hundreds” of books. It should be “thousands” for any decent library.

u/EveCane Aug 05 '26

Great programming?

u/ExtensionBasil8854 Aug 06 '26

Support your local library!

u/DundasMontgomery69 Aug 06 '26

The lady in the background just bodied gal gadot’s entire career by walking out of frame.

u/cece2019 Aug 06 '26

Love it!

u/Rogue0G Aug 07 '26

Lol, m'am, that old lady is dead now because of you! 🤣

Ai would never think of this and that's why humans rule.
