This is an amazing ad. One, Optimum takes a really, really shitty number for a business to have, 877-393-4448, and makes it easy to remember (I will sadly never forget that number). Two, the choice of music flies in the face of logic here. Optimum may have turned off over 90% of their target subscribers by choosing reggaeton, yet they still did it because the ad is too good to pass up. Three, the lobster.

Lobster. Definitely Lobster. They had fun shooting this commercial. A lot of fun.

Big Pun RIP.

With all due respect, how the hell is that a lobster? I watched this video so many freakin' times and it looks nothing like a lobster to me. No claws and super long dragon-like tail. Sea serpent.

It is a Spiny Puerto Rican Small-Claw Lobster - please consult the latest Audubon Field Guide to Caribbean Marine Life.
