Being Frank w Laurence Fishburne
This may need a bit of backsplainin' folks so here goes: Tele2 has been running an ad campaign with a black sheep named Frank for many years.
Ignoring the many layers of weird there, here's Frank discussing a deal with HBO to make a movie of his biography with Laurence Fishburne starring as the black sheep Frank.
You may be wondering what possessed Laurence Fishburne to do this commercial, did he find the script to be amusing? Was it money? Is he plain bored?
The "Being Frank" story is obviously supposed to lead up to the deal with HBO on the tele2 network.
That's where things go weird....
Being Frank pt 2 / The Deal -
Following Franks's pitch to HBO in "Being Frank" starring Lawrence Fishburne , HBO turns the tables and offers another deal to Tele2. HBO to all of their customers on all of their devices.
But Frank just can't take a good deal when he gets one. He has to push once more for the movie. "Alright, what if we add a scene, where I forget that I have a left side on my face. All shot in black and white. But just black. No white. So you can't see anything. Including me." Did we mention that in this imaginary movie he's pitching Laurence Fishburne will be playing the part of Frank?

No, your not the only one feeling the joke was kind of weird and wasn't as much left-field as just... really, dudes? You're working hard to crank up the awkward on your black sheep who walks and talks with an american accent, broadcast in a country where everyone speaks Swedish.
It might have the opposite effect on other people, as a Swedish comment say: "If you actually do a movie with Laurence Fishburne called "Being Frank", with this only black scene in it, I promise to change to Tele2."
Different strokes for different folks we suppose.
