The Slomin’s Shield: My New Favorite Commercial. Ever. “EVER.”
There is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to book a Slomin’s commercial. Regardless, this commercial is priceless and they play it on what seems like a constant loop in NYC. Like a dog hearing the cabinet opening to get a treat, I immediately stop what I’m doing and look up to the TV to watch this mess in all its glory. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this commercial was made by the same people who write for the Harriet Carter catalog.
In what couldn’t be any more over-acted, we get to see three couples experiencing a possible break-in…and then how they would react if they had the Slomin’s alarm system. The first lady is great. At first she freaks out and then when she realizes it’s her neighbors house who had the break-in she, literally, gets pissed off at the neighbor for not having an alarm system. Yeah, because this is definitely an “I told ya so” moment. Relax. As a sidenote, it’s nice to see that Toni Braxton is getting work again.
Next up we have the fireman who may or may not also be an inner city wrestler. He has to tell his bitch-bag of a wife that he has to work late again. We know he “means it” because he puts extra emphasis on his hands whilst he talks into the phone. The bitch-bag of a wife screams over the phone like he just told her he flushed their daughter down the toilet. When she realizes she has the alarm system she tells her husband that she’s fine with it and she’ll even have dinner ready for him. I’m surprised she knows how to set the alarm all the way back there in the 1950’s.
The finally we have the sleeping couple. The wife shoots up out of bed like Satan, himself, is coming to collect her soul. When she realized she has the alarm system she goes back to bed with a smile on her face like she’s ready to rape the willing.
Go Slomin’s. Go often.

Brinks home security has some amazing commercials as well. Such as the one where the woman takes a pic of her kid on her digital camera and when she goes to look at the pic she sees a man with an ax in the window on the camera. Then he jumps through the window to kill them all. There are a whole bunch of insane ones. Its amazing.

I worked on this set and the talent was actually good (and natural). The client did not want that though. The client was on-set interrupting the director and telling the actors what to do and to be “over the top”. So if you think they’re “over-acting”, then blame the client, not the actors because they did exactly what was asked of them.
