The commercial begins as the camera pans through a excitedly cheering crowd. One member of the crowd is particularly moved by the cheering, so he strips down to his underwear and runs through the stands onto the field waving his arms in the air. He runs across the field, through the players in the middle of a point, and drops to his knees. The camera zooms in on him to reveal “Forgive me Andrea” painted on his naked chest in red and blue paint while he opens his arms and yells “I love you.” The scene switches to the living room of a stunned woman watching the game with her friends who look at her speechlessly. Andrea gets up from the couch and leaves the room grabbing her jacket on the way. The commercial concludes with the narrator commenting that “love might make you crazy, but finding it shouldn’t” as the camera pans to the television in the living room where the referees are dragging the struggling man off the field and “match.com” appears on the screen.
