I'll Start With You
Scene:
Canadian Tire Guy steps onto his porch wearing a housecoat and checks his mail box. He grabs a newspaper from the box, unfolds it, and browses the front page as he's turning around to re-enter his house.
At the foot of his driveway, a balding, middle aged man wearing a varsity jacket approaches the house, stopping next to an automobile.
Canadian Tire Guy: "Darryl! G'morning! What's that you've got there?"
*indicates item in Varsity's hand*
Varsity Jacket: "This?"
*demonstrates sledge hammer*
*scene changes to a flyer-esque still shot of the hammer with the price indicated beside*
Varsity Jacket: "Oh, it's a Mastercraft 8lb Sledge. I just picked it up at Canadian Tire this morning for $27.99..."
Canadian Tire Guy: "That's a pretty heavy deal, Dar-"
*Varsity Jacket immediatley interupts Canadian Tire Guy and continues speaking*
Varsity Jacket: "...so I could smash your fucking windshield in for making me look bad in front of my kid at hockey practice last week."
*Varsity Jacket hits the windshield with the hammer twice, causing it to break in the typical fashion, and begins to walk away*
Varsity Jacket: " So fuck you, your snap skates, and your new generator, you cocky son of a bitch."
* "I'll Start With You" theme plays as the camera pans out on Varsity Jacket aggressivly dropping the hammer at the foot of the driveway. He then turns toward the sidewalk and walks away*

If this were made into an actual commercial, I need to be a part of it

I can't help but think that someone should try to get through to the Canadian Tire people in Marketing and give them a huge heads up that there is a big opportunity for them here. This play is on the right track, but a little over the top of course, and that's cool. What I'm saying is, they could actually capitalize by all the hate for this guy, by having the Canadian Tire Guy gradually start to lose it ad by ad. Just get goofy with it. Make it into a parody of itself. Eventually end with an ad like the one in this play. They might actually gain customers.
