Commercials

Monk and John Smith are at a party. Monk is waiting for the punch to come out so that he can be the first to get it. He can only drink punch if he is the first to get it. He carefully measures out the punch for several minutes while John watches. Finally, John picks up a cup to grab some punch (since Monk still has the ladle) and he flashes back to see the guy who brought the punch out drinking straight from the bowl. John looks at Monk, who is about to drink and says, "I wouldn't drink that." He leans over and whispers in Monk's ear. Monk, with great disgust and disappointment, pours the punch back into the bowl. There is a break and then it comes back to Monk covering the entire punch bowl in crime scene tape.

I laughed so hard when I saw that commercial. It perfectly explains both characters, their attitudes, their oddities; it gives you an excellent picture of what you can expect from the show. That is why I have so much hope for Psych. The commercials for the show are funny. The commercials involving the lead character, like the one where Monk knows he's a fake but because he's been eating Cheetos Monk won't let him touch him, makes me think that Psych will be another good dramedy to USA's lineup.
