Who doesn’t love the attention of a doting mother every once in a while? And the loving attention of a doting mother becomes ever more important when you’re one of the 24% or so of 20-34 year olds living at home.

Deutsch LA gives nod to this statistic in a new Taco Bell commercial — perfectly titled Smothering Mother — which promotes the brand’s Smothered Burrito. In the ad, mom buzzes about tending to her son’s every need with rapid fire questions and commentary.
