I thought EXACTLY the same thing. I posted it earlier, but apparently the post never made past the intentional stage of the process.

If it had been an actual event, it would be sad.
But, if one is dating, or even married to, a person who breaks one's instruments, that's just Nature's way of telling one to go No Contact with that person.
Dump or divorce.
There are enough NON-psychotic people out there, if one has the patience to wait.
But, my theatrically trained eyes noticed that there were no strings on the banjo when she snapped it, and, my stagecraft tells me that all one need to do, to fake the effect, would be to undo the mounting hardware, remove the lag bolts, and stick the neck to the pot with a bit of double sided mounting tape.
In order to save studio time, I would have had two identical banjos. One playable, one rigged.
After all, the commercial wasn't done in one unbroken shot.
Final note:
IF a sip of SPRITE really would be enough to prevent a psycho from committing an act of violence, I would gladly contribute to a program to have tanker trucks full of SPRITE available in towns and cities all across my home country.

I like how he connected the strap to the 5th string peg.

Had to go back and rewatch to catch this - so funny to think of a non-banjo-player thinking "what's this thing for?....oh I guess that's where the strap goes! Solved it."

And the way she handled it, looked like it weighed about 2 pounds.

This is Computer Generated Animation, no?
Explains the no strings and the 2 lb banjo.
The strap setup is a bit like Pete Seeger's that was attached to an eyebolt in the neck but a bit different position.
