Commercial 1
We open on a dad and his son in the living room. The son says, "be in my room" as he heads upstairs with his headphones & laptop in hand. The dad pauses to think, and begins to follow his son to have an important chat with him. Suddenly a hand reaches out to hold him back. A play fight sequence begins as he battles "himself" while attempting to follow his son to his room. The scene concludes with his dad winning the battle against himself and entering his son's room to talk.
