Synopsis:
The spot, “Date Interrupted” will premiere this Sunday during the ultimate series of poignant moments – the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). In the spot, a Spanish-speaking couple dines al fresco, enjoying a rare evening away from their baby. Just as they begin to relax, the woman realizes she can no longer view their digital baby monitor on her phone, panicking as she urges her partner to eat faster. Almost instantaneously, Thomas Middleditch, Verizon’s spokesperson of HBO’s Silicon Valley fame, swoops in, but realizes there’s one he hadn’t encountered until now: Spanish speakers. Mexican actor Luis Gerardo Mendez, who is “Thomas but in español,” then comes to save the day, explaining how Verizon has the best network with the best unlimited.
