Double Dippy.

This commercial gives me the cheaps (a feeling of embarrassment for others) every time I see it. Am I supposed to know who the McCann Twins are? I know they're less than brilliant actors. And one can be pretty sure they're both bachelors. Maybe I'm bothered because they are presented as being aged Luddites like me. Or is it just the fakiness of the spot that rubs me the wrong way? Or the fact that Consumer Cellular is designed for old fools isn't revealed until the end with the AARP plug? Maybe it's none of that. It could just be the sickeningly cute, "Hello handsome" "Hello ugly" open and close.
