I have seen a few like that, and I can't even tell you what they were or what they were for even now because it was just a super confusing drama with no brand, no product, no message, and no real reason to exist.

I've seen plenty of confusing commercials that became clear at the end when they reveal a product or show the name of a business or whatever to actually advertise a thing to you. But then there are these that have no context, no information, and just leave you wondering why someone paid to have it run on TV.
