On par with the Dirt Devil "Excorcist" ad....

I think I like it. But the part I don't get is that there's only supposed to be two seats left, yet we see 4 or 5 couples sitting down. Did they perform this same stunt 4 or 5 times? If so, they should've explained that at the beginning.
Sorry to be a naysayer, but I think when you have to figure out what's going on, it gets in the way of the joke.

I think most people figured out immediately that they did the same thing several times to several different couples.
The fact that the open seats were in the same spot kinda gave that away.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't playing very close attention the first time I watched. I had to watch it a few times to see that even the guys in the neighboring seats were the same.
All they had to do (for the mentally-challenged like me) would be to somehow state it was 5 viewings.

That woulda been a little "over-explainy".
If you'll notice, they had a carefully written setup that appeared as text across the screen that was meant to kind of build up to the joke.
Explaining that they pulled the stunt five separate times would've kinda thrown cold water on it.
Besides, they said at the outset that there were only two seats left.
And once again, 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of all people who watched it probably figured it out fairly early on.

I *like* that commercial!
However...
I would've gotten 10 beers out of the deal.
MissyDWolf doesn't drink, so it means 5 trips to the seats, 2 beers a trip. We'd get two, leave...I'd shave, have her take off her glasses - we'd be 'the next couple' and get two more...then leave. I'd toss my shirt and put on a hat, have her put her hair up and wear my glasses and we'd be 'the third couple'; snatch our beers, which I'd guzzle, and then depart. I'd swipe a jacket and wear her glasses, make her gimme mine back and make her wear my old shirt - we'd now be the 'fourth couple' and finish the beers before sitting completely down, explaining I had to run to the little beer drinker's room to relieve myself, as I stumbled over a few bikers and she covered her face in embarrassment. After accidently peeing on myself, but only a little bit and having ditched the stolen jacket in the restroom, we'd get dressed as we first were and I'd ensure we were chosen as the 'final couple' by simply being an obnoxious drunk. We'd be given the final two beers which I'd finish right before getting dragged out of the theater by an angry bunch o'bikers who are all pissed off that I got more beer than anyone else. I'd promptly provide an eloquent, although a tad slurred speech about 'getting your fair share' from the sponsor - Carlsberg' while explaining that Carlsberg 'Elephant' Beer is the only decent beer they make, and they should demand THAT. MissyDWolf would immediately thereafter bail me out of the local establishment.

All that woulda been too long to fit into a commercial, though.

They'd cut out the parts where I'm two-fisted guzzling.

But those would be the best parts.
Except the parts where you were being dragged out by the bikers.

Nobody wants to see a grown drunk kicking, screaming and crying...

That's the second unmanliest thing you've done today.
