We open on a guy whose crooked looking face is pressed against the glass as he peers into what appears to be a library to get a glimpse of his girlfriend who’s studying. He’s holding a Twix bar and motions her to come out and take a break.
It turns out the gent’s face is crooked even when not in proximity to glass or any other object. Still, the gal doesn’t seem to mind and the two take a prolonged break, going dress shopping, seeing a movie, enjoying a karaoke bar, even cavorting on the beach. At the latter venue, they both take final bites out of the Twix and are left with an empty wrapper.
At that moment, the guy has to depart. Soon we see him taking his shirt off as he walks into a boxing arena before a capacity crowd. Everybody is motionless, including his boxing opponent, until our man steps in the ring and positions his face alongside the boxing glove of his combatant. Suddenly the action resumes and the guy gets cracked across the face, causing the momentary crooked appearance. The gent’s face snaps back to normal and we realize that this has indeed been quite a frozen moment as a super appears which reads, “Invent a Pause. Open a Twix.”

Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
