Okay, he isn't THE Pajama Boy but a Pajama Boy that has appeared in a GE commercial for the past few weeks who was obviously inspired by the original. Should you doubt that this is very close copy of the original Pajama Boy, the dialogue should convince you. Meanwhile the original Pajama Boy has failed to capitalize on his notoriety and has faded into relative obscurity as a blogger hyping a kinetic energy battery charger.
FATHER: I'm proud of you, son. GE! A manufacturer. Well this is why I dug this out for you. It's your grandpappy's hammer and he would have wanted you to have it.
(Places sledgehammer on table.)
MOTHER: It meant a lot to him...
SON: Yes, GE makes powerful machines but I'll be writing the code that will allow those machines to share information with each other. I'll be changing the way the world works.
FATHER: You can't pick it up, can you? Go ahead... He can't lift the hammer.
MOTHER: It's okay, though. You're going to change the world.
So while the original Pajama Boy is laboring away in obscurity, his copy is raking up some good bucks by imitating him. What is the matter with the original? If he had more fortitude, he would right now be making the rounds of advertising agencies, dressed in red flannel pajama onesies and holding a cup of hot cocoa, while pitching himself as the original Pajama Boy for commercials.
The Superbowl will be coming up in a little over two months and there will be a big demand for humorous commercials such as the one that worked so well for GE. All Pajama Boy needs to do is pick up his lazy butt and make the rounds. But I wonder...
You can't pick it up, can you?
It's okay, though. Pajama Boy is going to change the world...I think. Meanwhile a trip down memory lane to the original Pajama Boy commercial hyping an Obamacare program which has flopped.
