Product placement
Savannah Bananas: a baseball team that plays exhibition games. The Cincinnati Reds: a professional baseball team. The video shows a baseball stadium filled with fans, implying a comparison between the attendance of the Savannah Bananas and the Cincinnati Reds. The Savannah Bananas ACT: they fill seats, which is their primary function as an entertainment entity. Removing them would change the video's premise. The Cincinnati Reds ACT: they are a professional baseball team playing in a stadium, implying their role in drawing crowds. Removing them would change the video's premise.
