Bucee's Parody Commercial
A man stops at his local Bucees and stops for gas. However, you never just stop at Bucees for gas. People around him get a little triggered and upset that he doesn’t want to participate in the Bucee’s traditions and activities. Eventually by force, they get him to go into the store and get him an entire load of Bucee’s merch.
​
We will need a bucees store
We will need a car
We will need many actors
We will need cars
We will need to rent out a street

Video
(Mid Shot) The shot starts with a man in a car driving with his hands on a steering wheel to make it seem that he is driving. He looks focused on the road. However he realizes that he is almost out of gas.
(Wide Shot) The shot transitions to a view of a nearby Bucee’s from the inside of his car while driving on the highway. The car turns and enters the Bucee’s gas station.
(Wide Shot) The car parks in front of a gas pump. There are other cars there getting gas too with people walking in and out of the store. Cars are driving by and people are out filling up their cars with gas and talking to other people. (Wide Shot) The man gets out of the car, (Cowboy Shot) inserting the gas pump into the car. (Mid Shot) Once he puts the pump inside the car, he turns and sees (Close up) a Bucee’s employee directly in his face.
Everything seems to freeze and go silent as everyone and everything in the parking lot looks at the man in confusion and disgust. (Multiple Mid shots of other people are shown) (The employee speaks again.
​
The employee takes the man by the arm and shuffles him into the store. On the way into the store a crowd follows behind them, chanting. The man pleads and pleads for a release.
​
Eventually, they get to the front door where the beaver mascot is waiting. The employee throws the man on the ground to his knees. The man pleads for mercy.
The beaver takes him by the arm and drags him into the store. The man shouts out for help while the crown cheers and chants.
The shot transitions to the man later walking out of the store with a bag full of food and Bucee’s accessories while wearing a Bucee’s onesie and Bucee’s slippers. He walks out of the shot and the Bucee’s logo appears on the screen then fades to black.
