The setup

A boardroom screening of a kids' soda commercial goes sideways when one executive notices that the grape mascot's catchphrase sounds an awful lot like a threat of sexual assault.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Executives gather to review a new commercial for Fizzy-Pops Grape Blast, whose mascot is a man in a purple grape-cluster costume called the Grapist who bursts into children's bedrooms promising to grape them. One executive (Zach Cregger) nervously points out that the slogan sounds like a rape threat, but the man presenting the campaign (Trevor Moore) waves the concern away as a dirty mind and keeps rolling the footage. Every new scene, from a child tied to a radiator to kids fleeing in terror, makes the subtext harder to ignore, while the presenter grows more defensive and even blames a little girl's purple outfit. The executives agree to buy the campaign anyway, just as the final cut adds a free grape whistle and the Grapist's plan to work through the whole family in the basement.
