Full script of the ad IN ENGLISH, REGARDLESS OF THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF THE AD
SFX: Phone ringing
FVO: Is Mr. Patterson there? Oh, Peterson...
ANN: You’re listening to Louise. She’s a telemarketer. The grumpiest of all grumpy telemarketers, too.
She purposely calls during dinnertime and purposely pronounces people’s names wrong. She never says ‘goodbye’, not even ‘bye’, or ‘see ya’. She just hangs up.
In her spare time Louise parks in handicap spots, gives out stale raisins on Halloween and tells random people that they look fat.
FVO: N-n-n-n-nooo...
ANN: Louise hates kittens, ice cream, humour, the internet and reducing her speed in school zones.
FVO: Oh, whatever!
ANN: Why is Louise such a miserable person? Her unemployed, video game junkie, anniversary-forgetting, husband is unsure. If you ask us, it’s because she has yet to smell the amazing scent of Gain Laundry Detergent.
Just one whiff of Gain’s scent and it will give anyone a moment of joy they’ll never forget.
Even grumpy, rude, inconsiderate, dried-fruit distributing, telemarketers like Louise.
Gain. Sniff, sniff, hurray.
FVO: ...do not hang up on me!
