(3/1994)

"Robbery" + "Hold-up" [00:30]# Two spots for the New Orleans based First NBC bank that look as if we are watching something filmed on a surveillance camera. In the first commercial a customer worries about the high bank charges he has to pay. He is curtly informed that these come with the type of account he has and that if he doesn't like it another type of account can be found. He is flabbergasted, doesn't understand why he has not been offered the cheaper type of account before. "I didn't know that this is what you wanted," is the helpless reply of the bank clerk. Super: "You have just witnesses a bank robbery." The second shot shows a customer in a bank vainly trying to attract the staff's attention. "I have been waiting for half an hour," he pleads with a indifferent clerk who just happens to be walking by. Super: "You have just witnesses a bank hold-up." Pay-off: "Witness a different point of view. First NBC."
