The Role

It's a deadpan parody of a low-budget local business ad. The character takes himself completely seriously, the awkward humor is on purpose and well timed, and you still remember the business at the end. Bring that to dogs, grooming, and pet store life. For example: a groomer who treats every bath like a luxury spa launch, or a dead-serious ad for nail trims.
