Dan Levy's eyebrows take the spotlight in Visible's latest ad spot, which humorously nods toward the actor's most prominent feature. The ad plays into the pun of 'brow-sing' as the ad spot promotes Visible's unlimited browsing data plan. The ad opens with the actor explaining the new phone plan as the camera slowly begins to zoom into Levy's face. Confused, the actor breaks character to question the director. He continues with his script, eventually coming to the realization that the camera is filming a close-up shot of his brows.
He quickly gets the joke, exclaiming, "Is this whole unlimited browsing concept just a play on my eye brows?" The ad closes with a link to the website, playfully titled 'UnlimitedEyeBrowsing.com.'
