Commentary: Welcome to an ad series in which Sprint attempts to play up its use of the former Verizon pitchman, Paul Marcarelli. And attempt to be funny.
Have you felt the effect? Neither have I.
Ever since Sprint hired Paul Marcarelli, the man who used to utter “Can you hear me now? ” for Verizon over and over again, your life has likely been permanently altered.
You now realize that if he’s been paid to switch to Sprint, you should too. Or, second best, just switch to Sprint without being paid… even if the ads in which Marcarelli now appears are as memorable as the 47th date with someone whom you should never have dated at all.
Sprint has now embarked on an attempt to make Marcarelli’s presence a little more emotionally involving.
