In Prison, It Pays to Have Insurance

We suppose the reason we like commercials from other countries so much is because we’d never see them here in the States. Whether it be differing politics, culture, humor or sexual openness, they’re always different. Always fun to watch. That’s the case with this Dutch commercial for insurance company Centraal Beheer which takes place inside a prison and shows the interplay between a seasoned guard and a rookie.

The thing ends in perfect hilarity but the whole premise is one we’d likely never see in the States simply because, shocker, it would be wrong, dammit, wrong to taunt the “residents” of a prison. The PC police would be all over this one.
