Description

MC Hammer starts off doing his familiar baggy-pants dance routine with a bunch of backup dancers behind him. Then a message says "15 MINUTES LATER", and he is seen sitting alone on the ground, as everything is getting repossessed behind him. A realty sign next to him says "foreclosed".

The commercial makes fun of the actual financial woes Hammer went through after the peak of his fame in the 90s.

He finishes the ad with "Nationwide is on your side."

This ad is part of Nationwide's Life Comes at You Fast campaign.
