they should just put scratch-offs on the back of PBR cans.

Those are totally a ripoff of Roz Chast (who makes cartoons for that eminent hipster rag, the New Yorker).

Are kids allowed to play the lottery? Think there's an age threshold.

The commercials look almost exactly like Mike Judge material. He should sue.

Are kids allowed to smoke? Doesn't seem to matter.

Yeah, I think the commercials are more Mike Judge and the print ads are more Roz Chast (thanks Edie Bex). It's like they wanted to cover all the bases.

I play powerball twice a week, and have been (mostly) for years. And I'm super cool and hip. I don't care what the ads look like - I just want my money!!

The artist Patrick Long made the whole ad campaign what it is, original. The Mercury is super lucky he does work for us too.

You made a great latke. Your sister is a hipster cat. I'm so drunk right now.

Ripping off Mike Judge? Sheesh. That's like saying anything shot in live action is ripping off Spielberg.

Okay, maybe the print ads aren't *completely* Roz Chast-y, but she's been doing that style for years (here's one recent example):

Yeah, Edie, I thought the text on it is similar to text on Chast's work. But the characters aren't. The idea is, though.
