SCRIPTS FOR BMW TV SPOTS WITH MLB PLAYERS CARPOOLING IN THE NEW iX
Client was looking for comedic takes on MLB players spending too much time together
We should do more together
:30
Open in the BMW iX driving along and the four players inside.
PLAYER 1: See this? Us carpooling. Doing something good, together. All electric iX. Helping the planet. Driving in style.
PLAYER 2: It’s nice.
PLAYER 3: We should do more together.
PLAYER 4: We should like…
We now jump cut through all the crazy ideas they have of things they can do together. They trade off ideas. (The list below would be mixed up between the four characters. We would cover off a lot and then pick the best in the edit.)
TO DO LIST: Start a band!
Go bowling!
Get a pinata!
Cut to: Players outside car, getting ready to do a pinata shaped like a baseball. Player 2 is blindfolded, holding a bat. They spin him around, then turn him loose. He absolutely destroys the pinata, and we hear what sounds like a terrible hailstorm of candy off-screen.
GUY (O.S.): My car!
Cut to: Interior of car, the players share concerned looks.
PLAYER 1: Yeah…. Or just carpool.
They all nod.
Cut to logos over wide shot of the car driving.

Play horseshoes!
Cut to: Players outside car, playing horseshoes. Player winds up (like a pitch) and hurls the horseshoe offscreen. There’s a smattering of crazy sounds (metal ricocheting, car slamming on brakes, scared cat, explosion)
