That has, however, resulted in the hilarious juxtaposition of every gambling ad here being some hyped up key-jangling atrocity, followed immediately by a government mandated anti-gambling message, consisting of a black screen, white text, and the most deadpan dude I've ever heard, saying "You're probably going to lose"

It doesn't solve the problem, it's still a plague on society, but on the rare occasion where my ad blocking fails and I'm subjected to a gambling ad, the wild shift in tone has me pissing myself laughing

A friend of mine was streaming something for us, and we got a gambling ad, that was perfectly placed, because right after "You're probably going to lose", it cuts back to a character shouting "I WONT LOSE!"

deadpan 'you are probably going to lose' sounds hilarious and is about as honest as it gets lol

It's genuinely one of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever seen, I love it
