Metro Los Angeles "Super Kind: Seat Hogging" (2017) 1:46 (USA)

Here comes a quirky spot for Metro Los Angeles featuring a monster and a walking anime character called Super Kind (SK) who lapses into a song about why you shouldn't be rude on the Metro by taking up more than one seat. It's amazing to me that in 2017 we have to spend my tax dollars to make this point but Los Angeles is the selfish capital of the world. As for the spot, it's cute and eye-catching and very enjoyable, but if they'd kept it to a minute it would have been more effective because it takes too long to get to the point. Also throwing the pineapples off the bus at the end feels like a compromise joke to me, as if they couldn't show an anime character kicking someone's butt because government account.
Still, you have to hand it to L.A. Metro for going for something like this.
