In “The Game,” three guys are hanging out in front of a TV watching sports. One of them – the saver – reaches down to check his tablet, as another – the spender – comments, “Checking your fantasy?” The saver responds, “No, just my 401k statement.” The dialogue continues as the spender, who says that his money is “gone before I get my hands on it,” is decked out in more and more lavish items, starting with a gold watch, necklace and sunglasses and ending up astride a new motorcycle in a medieval knight’s costume and virtual reality goggles. The spot ends with a pizza guy showing up at the door and the spender saying, “Hey, can somebody spot me?”
