This is a commercial put out by "Best Buy" in Quebec.

The commercial is in French but you don't need to understand what they are saying to get the joke. What you do need to know is that

A) Red Sweater = Habs (They made the playoffs)
B) Blue Sweater = Leafs (They didn't make the playoffs)

Those 2 teams are bitter rivals.

Loose translation of what's said is

"So you're not like other stores are you..?"

"No, we don't want to put any pressure on our customers. Just take your time, have a look around, see our prices, then come see me when you're ready..."

After that it gets to the joke,

Er... That's hockey, not football, lol.

Yours was pretty funny, but being the hardcore hockey fan I am, I still like my "Na na na na! Na na na na! Hey! Hey! Hey! Gooood byeeeee!"
