1. I think the comic could make up for it in relatability
2. I was nice enough to include a second, more absurd and goofy version (although seeing customers simply chant "discount?" like the birds from Finding Nemo is actually not an uncommon occurrence, in my experience)
My favorite minor joke here is that in the shampoo ad, Bob Marley's trademark dreadlocks are 'cleaned away' and replaced with silky, straight, white girl-type hair. Its something I could imagine an upper middle class brand manager doing with no ill intent, not realizing how intensely in poor taste it is.

fair point
I think this is probably good as is! the only thing I can think of that might improve it would be if you changed to assorted shapes to a different sight gag in the director's cut
