"In Brawl, You Can"

Can-do attitude.

Finnish developer and publisher Supercell (not to be confused with 'Supacell' on Netflix) makes mobile games like 'Clash of Clans', 'Squad Busters', 'Hay Day', and 'Brawl Stars'. It also makes a shit-ton of money as a result, with some of those simoleons put aside for commercials like this: a reminder that what happens in 'Brawl Stars' stays in 'Brawl Stars'.

If you were to, for example, throw a cactus at someone's face in real life, that would be regarded as a faux pas at best and assault at worst. Eat as many hot dogs as you want in the game, but pace yourself in the flesh-and-blood world (wieners are not superfoods, as it turns out). And never take your frustration out on a real bin—it makes you look like a nutter, not a hero.

The ad chucks one too many examples our way, but director Tom Kuntz's live action segments are lots of fun regardless. It is weird, however, to talk about the difference between reality and fiction when the ad features no in-game footage whatsoever (a common occurrence in this sector).
