THE SPOTs
Three :30s feature comedic situations in the style of Monty Python skits, to satirize the blasé way in which men treat physical accidents. In "Construction," a man impales himself at a building site; a worker chops off his foot in "Lumberjack"; and another, feeding fish to a killer whale, loses his hand in "Sea Aquarium." Each spot ends with the tag, "A hard day calls for a hard lemonade. Make it Mike’s."
