Under a bright blue Florida sky, Breanna Banaciski stood in front of a mansion, looked into the video camera she’d mounted on a tripod and began her pitch. It opened in a tone of feigned exasperation.
“This is getting ridiculous. This house is 7,000 square feet. I can’t even fit it into the frame,” she said, bleeping out an obscenity before “frame.” “Five bedrooms, six bathrooms, 3.5 million dollars.”
Smash cut to Ms. Banaciski lying on the ground, as though the sheer extravagance of the words had killed her.
Cut to her standing in a large bedroom.
“This house keeps going and going and going. It doesn’t end!” she shouted, sounding annoyed. “It’s like the ‘John Wick’ series.”
Moments later she’s gesticulating in a huge room filled with shelves and cabinets.
“What do rich people do with a closet this size?” she asked, as though someone really wanted to know. Answer: “This is where they store their tax write-offs.”
There’s a “Titanic” joke, a Diddy party reference, an R-rated quip about the disappointing size of the swimming pool. She wraps by urging viewers to tell friends about this place, though only if they cannot afford it. Because it will bug the [bleep] out of them.
