This Fifth Third Bank commercial comically introduces its new feature of a two-in-one credit and debit card.
It's all about redundancy and it's hilarious how US-based advertising agency Leo Burnett depicts the advertisement. It all starts inside an office setting with a company that revolves around everything redundant. The first shot is of a report entitled 'Redundancy Incorporated Inc.: A Yearly Annual Summary Report,' and continues with another shot of an 'out and out' slot, which should actually be read 'in and out.'
The tiny details in this video are hard to miss and it's what makes this video so funny. The video ends with three office partners in complete shock when a fellow office worker notifies them that Fifth Third Bank has just come out with a credit and debit card.
