I’m Baffled By the New Sprint & Dan Hesse Commercial

Submitted by on October 18, 2008 – 7:52 pm157 Comments

This new Sprint commercial, featuring CEO Dan Hesse, seemingly runs during every inning of the MLB playoffs. It baffles me too:

- why is he sitting at a diner talking about cell phones and to a camera?
- why, in the HD version, is half of his head cropped off?
- why does he sound so un-enthusiastic when talking about how cell phones have become mini-computers? If he can’t get excited – why can consumers?
- finally, why isn’t a phone (preferably a smartphone) shown in the commercial?
