Crazy People
Release: January 01, 1990

Hello. Meet Emory Leeson, an advertising executive who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and is up against a deadline. Feeling stressed out, he decides to do something that no one has done before: take a "truthful" approach in advertisments. Unfortunately, his colleague, Stephen finds that his new slogans -- which Volvos that are boxy, but good; cereals that have cute boxes; and even a horror that won't just scare, but will, um, well mess people up for life -- not very useful to him or the public. So what does Stephen do? He has Emory commited to a mental institution for a "rest". During his stay, Emory's ads get accidentally printed and the new campaign becomes a huge success and Stephen asks Emory to return to work and write more. However, he doesn't want to leave and with the help and encouragement of his fellow members of the therapy group, including the pretty and insecure Kathy, start up their own advertising slogans. But as the campaigns get even more popular, Emory's boss, Drucker starts taking all the credits, giving the patients minor accolades and promises of new cars and tries to divide them and make one another twice as nuts.
