Facebook is very clever and works out what you are currently talking about/listening to/interested in and advertises specifically for your taste. I thought about how this might work in real life and came up with a few ideas. These needed working on agan but these are the first drafts. I'm getting together with a film student next week so hopefully we can go through them together and work out the specifics.
'Make a quick buck'
  • A man is walking down the street.
  • Another man literally POPS UP in front of him “HEY MAN! Wanna make some easy money fast??”
  • “uhhh....??” the man is shocked and a bit afraid.
  • “Dude, I made like 500 dollars in a day!”
  • The man is totally sold on this “NO WAY?! How do I do it?”
  • “You just need to sign up with your credit card and I'll sort you out bro!”
  • “Sweet!” the man hands his wallet over, the other guy punches him in the stomach and runs away. The man falls to the floor clutching his stomach.
'Ham Sale'
  • A man is making a sandwich in his kitchen, his lap top is open on the counter
  • He puts his sandwich on a plate by his laptop and opens Facebook
  • Typing on his laptop “Update status... just made a delicious ham sandwich”
  • He picks up the sandwich about to take a bite when a random man POPS UP as if from under him shouting “HAM IS NOW ON SALE AT MONEYMART”
  • The man screams and throws his sandwich in the air.

'Shits like a penis'
  • Shot opens on the street. People walking past. A man in a suit walks by and is grabbed by a shady looking man in sunglasses.
  • “Hey mate, wanna enlarge your penis?”
  • “Well, yeah I do actually... but how?”
  • “Take these pills, trust, this shit's like steroids for your penis"
  • With that he takes out a small leaflet with a penis drawn on and opens it to show the penis extending, he opens it up about 7 flaps, a very unrealistic seize.
  • “See what I mean”


I want to end this possibly with the guy later on in the day, unzipping his pants getting ready for bed and being knocked out by this penis but this might be a bit too slapstick.
