The commercial featured a blue haired, pre-historic woman, dishoveled and lying at the foot of the stairs. She presses her emergency call button that is located on a necklace around her wrinkly old head and shouts:

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

huband: "Bitch, where's my sandwich?"

wife: "I've fallen, and I can't get up!"

husband: "You didn't answer my goddamn question!"

wife: "I think I broke my hip."
