When it comes buying a house, being “pretty sure” you can afford it isn’t enough. You have to be certain. That’s the premise which turns comedic in this Rocket Mortgage spot directed by Craig Gillespie of MJZ for Chicago agency Highdive.”

This “Certain Is Better” commercial–with music from SOUTH Music & Sound and sound design from Another Country–features actor/comedian Tracy Morgan who goes on an uncertainty-filled montage to prove that “pretty sure” is never the way to go–especially if that involves deciding to fight actor and former professional wrestler David Bautista.
