Awful and Awesome Ep 382: Women’s Day ads, Super/Man
Description
While discussing Hyundai’s Women’s Day ad:
Abhinandan: It was simple and direct…but the spot where she parked was not that tight.
Rajyasree: I can park in that spot.
Abhinandan: Are you a good driver?
Rajyasree: I’m a very good driver. I used to drive here also. You’ve forgotten?
Abhinandan: Salman also used to drive. Doesn’t mean he’s a good driver.
Rajyasree: (mimicking Salman) ye log kyu yahan pe so rahe hain!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss several Women’s Day ads, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, and several subscriber letters.
