The funny part about those ads is the puzzles have 2 and only 2 forms. The first is so easy a child could figure it out, yet despite this the person fails. The second one where it is physically impossible to solve and they were hoping you didn't look too closely. Now all we need is a bad TTS along with a picture of some character that has had AI lip flaps applied and we have the full experience.
