I dunno I spot 9 people at the table (5 men and 4 women), and Matt seems to be the one by himself to me. But it's possible another guy was there by himself. It's also open to interpretation whether Matt owns the house, and leaves in the middle of a party he was throwing, or if he was invited to someone else's house, or if he just showed up.
I enjoyed this analysis of the commercial:
Quote:
Anyway, the action. This is so great. McConaughey spies the table and holds the cue stick vertical to execute a perfect spinning masse shot, sending the cue ball weaving around and through clumps of other balls until it gently taps the object ball into the pocket. This is cool. It’s a cool thing. If you know how to do this, you should do it a lot to impress people. The weird thing about it, though, is that he does it in complete silence. Never explains any of it to the people standing near him. Like a crazy person.
Also, in a move that I can only assume is a nod to the home audience watching this, a woman is heard repeatedly saying “I’ve never seen that before” as he’s doing it. This can mean a few things.
- She’s never seen someone do a sick masse shot before
- She’s never seen someone walk away in the middle of a conversation to play pool against himself as though he’s deep in a trance
- My theory about these commercials being about a man who is slowly losing his mind was correct and the “this” she’s referring to is a troubling new behavior that should justifiably worry his family and friends.
All equally plausible.

I will say, when you watch these from the standpoint of them being about a man slowly going insane, it makes them a lot more enjoyable.
