The Crazy Ones: “The Face of a Winner” (Episode 1.12)

In Spike Jonze’s phenomenal new film, Her, we see a look at the near-future. In it, a man can fall in love with an operating system, companies will write love letters for you and Joaquin Phoenix can pull off a mustache and wearing his pants up high. Also in this future, video games are taken as just another form of entertainment. It’s socially acceptable to talk on a date with Olivia Wilde about a video game you interact with, both physically and verbally. Hell, even Amy Adams is making video games in this future.
But back in 2013, video games are for losers. At least that’s what The Crazy Ones seems to believe. In “The Face of a Winner,” the ad agency has two accounts they have to take care of: a spa company and a video game entitled “Medal of Glory.” Simon Roberts is struck with inspiration. Why don’t the guys take on the spa account and the girls take on the video game account! That wacky Simon! Girls don’t know anything about video games, and guys hate spas! Have stereotypes taught him nothing?!
