The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a parody of prescription-drug commercials, a suburban father describes how anxiety and depression were wrecking his work life, his son's ball games and his marriage until his doctor recommended CouplaBeers. Once he starts the treatment he becomes loud, flirty and overconfident at the office and at home, while a cartoon and a rapid list of absurd conditions sell the product. The ad then suggests a second product to counter its drowsiness, and closes with his family and coworkers gathered in the living room for an intervention.
