Maurice Alberto Rocca, also known as Daily Show correspondent Mo Rocca, was recently hired by Bank of America to host a “man on the street” type web series to double as promotion for the banking company.
With ‘Mo Rocca on Banking’, viewers can learn how to make their banking experience “more efficient than ever.”
So far, there have been five webisodes of Mo Rocca on Banking concerning everything from mobile alerts to overdraft protection. But just because the topics aren’t so entertaining, that doesn’t mean that the episodes aren’t. The majority of the comedy comes from the clueless people being interviewed.
Most of them have no idea that they are talking about banking until the very end. “Remember when going to the bank was sexy?” he asks. Of course, your answer is irrelevant Rocca.
Banking Fantasies
In this webisode, Rocca talks to those passing through Joshua Tree Park and asks them what their fantasies are. Some people mistake the question for a sexual subject. Only until halfway does he interject the topic of banking.
