Recently premiered at the brand, spanking new Shark At Work Show, these are the first three in our anti-investment firm series. The falsely comforting somber tone of the original Edward Jones spots does nothing to alleviate the real terror for anyone with large amounts of money tied up in what is more than likely a sinking stock ship. If people buy those ads, well, then it’s safe to say that you can pretty much say or do anything, no matter how deranged, as long as it is in a calm, unflappable, unaffected tone.

(SEE: Cheney)

There are 8 ads in total, cause you know, there’s that famous comedy rule about funny things coming in 8′s. We adhere pretty strictly to old timey comedy laws like that one, and of course that other famous rule about words that start with the letter “L” being funniest, as in “Oy vey, I got licked in the leister again!”

Anyway, here are the first three. The next three will be posted tomorrow, or if you’re extremely internet savvy, you can find our new Shark At Work Show youtube page, say by clicking on the link I provided right HERE.

Veeeeerrrrry savvy.
