Pepsi Max (India) - Review

Q: What would you do to get a job?

A. Depends on how badly I want it!

You would think that an interview would be just another run of the mill kind of ad, nothing much to it. Well, what do you know!

The story kicks off as soon as an interviewee takes a swig of Pepsi Max.

An innocent question, "Why do you think that tumhe yeh job milna chaahiyein?" triggers off a series of events that gets the boss quickly embroiled knee deep in hot water. After a brief pause, this question is met with a reply that baffles the boss as much as it confounds the audience. The boy slaps himself on the face and then asks the boss loudly, "Sir, mujhe kyon maar rahe ho?" He then goes on to noisily knock off fragile items from the shelves, after which he thrusts his head in an aquarium. He then tears his shirt and knocks himself so hard against a wall that a painting on the other side of the wall is knocked down.

While the boss looks on  bewildered by the sudden turn of events, there is a pandemonium outside the room where all the agitated youth scramble their way out the door.

All except one, who it turns out, is a friend of the 'harassed' boy.

Needless to say,  the  second boy gets the job.

And as the racy story speeds to its grand finale, it made me fervently wish that I too had such a eclectic group of friends as also such an introduction to my boss!

Nice try, guys!

That got me thinking...

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Pause

Don't think I'll do it?

Pause

Wanna bet?

Pause

OMG! My boss is walking towards me with smoke in his ears!

Do I see a noose? And is that me hanging?
