I am not sure if I am a genius or just need to step away from the medication…

I do like Geek Girl’s comment below, too–makes sense on how they thought this commercial up.

It had been a long week at Mercedes Marketing Department and so much time had been spent on the print ads that everyone had totally forgotten about the commercial needed for Mondays meeting until that last minute.
“I know” said the Head of Marketing. “Let’s all go down the pub and discuss it over a beer.”
It was the first of many mistakes made that evening…

Now if only we knew what a ‘genious’ was.

That was an odd assortment. Why would you need the little guy AND the sheep.

Wow Tim, you figured all that out on your own? Wow, you must be some kind of a genious!

I think I get the commercial. MB is promoting a device that keeps the driver from falling asleep. If you do not fall asleep, you will not be dream, so dreams will have to wait. The people/things that come out are what one could see in dreams; the lamb could be a reference to counting sheep to fall asleep–which you can’t do with MB’s new device.

I think I am now afraid that I understand the mind of marketing.
