lol my cryptic phrasing OTL

tl;dr it's the shoe carnival - Terry Crews ad

the narrative is that they only have shots of his shoes so that you can save more money! wee!

I was initially worried that it was an AI commercial & he wasn't aware of it, but I think it's more likely that they only paid for the rights to his voice

but even if the narrative *was* real, isn't that what the writers strike is about?

you want this person, in your commercial don't find a way to weasel out of paying them?
