Instacart Commercial – What’s Up With Those Ridiculous Puffy Coats?

I’m triggered. We shouldn’t be doing two things at once, no matter what Travis Kelce says in the Pfizer commercial. Instacart gives us exhibit A with their football game and grocery store ad. “I always have great cell coverage at football games,” said no one ever. Even if you have some reception, are you really going on Instacart to order groceries? Get real, puffy coat dad.


Now to clarify, there are at least two versions of this Instacart commercial. In one, and I’m sorry for this, there’s a horrendous song that goes along with it. Watch that one here and again, listen at your own peril. It’s bad. The other version doesn’t include the song, but still has these peculiar puffy coats worn only by the dad and the son.


Who can explain these coats without including George Costanza from “Seinfeld”?

There IS such thing as too puffy. Unless you’re Sean Combs. Or a magic dragon. Or a big bad wolf. The father and son are the only people wearing these abnormally thick jackets. Everyone sitting around them has normal, socially acceptable jackets and warm-weather outerwear. So why are they wearing these extra puffy puffer coats?

I haven’t found an answer except that they must be “Seinfeld” fans.
