Putting the greasiest marketing speak into your own mouth

as i understand what you're saying, the thing about those kinda ads is that the first person is still embodied by a specific actor, a person the victim of the ad is supposed to project into. the way it's deployed in french, there is no implied avatar to embody that first person, it is placing the words directly in your mouth without your consent.
