The Ray-Ban Never Hide ‘Watergun' Ad Showcases Summer Fun

— April 15, 2011 — Pop Culture
It must’ve been one heck of a time for the actors filming the Ray-Ban Never Hide ‘Watergun’ commercial because I’d have done it for free if I knew what it entailed.

If any word can describe the Ray-Ban Never Hide ‘Watergun’ ad, it’s either epic or badass. Citizens in a Californian neighborhood don shades walking casually, only to reveal that they’re getting ready for a water shootout. In true gangster style, everyone pulls out hidden Super Soakers, assembles in groups AND there’s even a drive-by shooting Boyz N’ Da Hood style. The combination of the cinematic slow-mos and the music add the cherry on top to make this commercial more amazing than it already is.

If you’re looking for something to do on a day off, lock n’ load your Super Soakers, bring your friends and lay the smack-down in an all-out water brawl.
