The 15 second ad cut vs the 45 second cut of the same mattress spot, and only one of them made sense

I keep seeing this one mattress commercial on Hulu and something about it bugged me for weeks until I finally figured it out last Tuesday. There are two versions running, a 15 second cut and a 45 second cut, and the short one is a total mess. In the long version a woman flops onto the bed and says her back pain was gone in 3 nights, which at least sets up the product. In the short version they chopped out that line and kept the part where she points at the mattress and says "this one" with zero context. So you just see a random lady pointing at furniture like she is mad at it. I sat there at 11pm rewinding it because I thought my Roku was glitching on me. Whoever edited that short cut must have been given like 10 minutes to trim it. Did anyone else catch a cut down ad that lost the whole point of the original?
