AIG

This AIG Commercial immediately reminded me of the show "Smart Guy" circa late 90's. This little boy that comes to his parents with late night worries about their financial standings and  is thinking about things obviously way above his maturity and education level. The words coming out of this little boy's mouth are the opposite of what anyone would ever expect which is why this commercial is so effective. The idea of a child being smarter than the average adult is a common theme. The new show "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" hosted by Jeff Foxworthy shows our interest in intelligent children. I like this commercial because it feels so appropriate for America's current economic situation. I think it really hits home for families today.
