Improbable Aiming Skills/Advertising

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Improbable Aiming Skills in Advertising include:

  • Dodge's new[when?] commercial for their latest[when?] truck. The guy wakes up to the sound of a cricket chirping, in the middle of the night, across a babbling brook, and silences it with a single accurate shot with a compound bow in between chirps.
  • A recent[when?] advert on ESPN America to coincide with the new[when?] Sherlock Holmes movie had Robert Downey, Jr. (in normal clothes but clearly referencing Holmes) suggest that a play where a Quarterback's pass was tipped by an opposing defender only to land in one his team mates arms and be easily run in for a touchdown may not have been a fluke.
