What happens when you take the music from Blade Runner and the Kamino cloning facility from Star Wars? You get this Geico commercial that has raised a few eyebrows for a strange, but understandable reason.
Hockey viewers watching the Stanley Cup playoffs in the United States have had the chance to watch a Geico commercial spot starring Patrice Bergeron a few times now, and they've got an important question. If home team Bergeron wins the face-off into his own end, why does he then proceed to score on his own net? Here's the ad in question.
So was this a continuity error on the part of Geico, or was home team Bergeron right to score after winning the face-off. Yes, we know, this is a question that is going to bother you all evening if we don't get down to the bottom of it. Here are our three theories...
1. They're only playing half-ice, so when home team Bergeron won, he was clear to score on net.
2. There may be two Bergerons, but they're not actually competing against one another. Every goal they score is a win-win.
3. The commercial spot is only 30 seconds long, so even though home team Bergeron won the face-off into his own end, they didn't have time to show him skating up ice, so they just got him to score on that end because it looked cleaner from a directing stand point.
We hope that we've at least cleared that conundrum up slightly for you.
