Description
In situations that look like the people would normally be holding guns, they're instead holding yo yos. In the long version of the ad, it starts off with a pair of bank robbers "shooting" it out with the authorities as they try to get in their getaway car.
The next scene is in black & white, where a man in a suit with his entourage and media surrounding him. Suddenly a hit man / assassin strikes him with a yo yo.
Then on a television political talk show, pundits debate whether yo yos should be outlawed. As they're arguing, people are shown doing target practice with yo yos.
A man at an ATM gets robbed by a yo yo-wielding thief. "Baby, he's got a yo yo," says his wife. "Did he hit you?"
"This is the golden butterball. 28 inch string. Silk. Real smooth action," says a guy doing an arms deals. This is an homage to a scene in the film "Taxi Driver" in which Robert De Niro's character buys guns in a hotel room.
In another homage, this time to The Godfather, a man strikes two men dining in a small restaurant.
Then at a convenience store, a man holds up the cashier, but she fights back with a yo yo of her own, yelling "No dinero!"
