Filmmaker Christopher Wells’s comedy short, Call Now Your Fantasy Awaits, takes us back to the old fantasy hotline commercials that infected late-night television in the 1980s and 90s.
The commercial introduces us to a gaggle of girls ready to fulfill our every fantasy. Venus is up for anything. Lexi will get your engine running. Trexxxi is a naughty schoolgirl. Then there’s Teddy…yikes.
“…takes us back to the old fantasy hotline commercials that infected late-night television…”
Call Now Your Fantasy Awaits is what it is—a pitch-perfect parody of the “976” fantasy hotline numbers. In the cast of Wells’ short (which plays out like an SNL sketch), he’s presenting some truth in advertising to comedic effect.
Call Now Your Fantasy Awaits is a delightful throwback to the cheesy, late-night TV ads of yore, capturing their absurdity with pitch-perfect precision. Christopher Wells channels the charm and awkward hilarity of those bygone fantasy hotlines, leaving you both cringing and chuckling in equal measure.
"…a pitch-perfect parody of the "976" fantasy hotline numbers."
