This commercial could have been so much more emotional. So much more effective. After all, what’s more spine tingling that a heroic firefighter doing their thing to douse fires and save lives? Unfortunately, this Duracell spot didn’t capture emotion of any kind and, instead, went the boring, announcer-read route to tout the fact its batteries are used in a firefighter’s T-PASS III, a device that notifies firefighters it’s time to evacuate a building.
