だから as an expression

Japanese Language
1

So there was this CM, マウスパソコン, that frequently appears whenever I use Youtube which features a skit wherein a customer orders a coffee but was repeatedly served a personal computer. On the last part, to his annoyance, the customer irritatingly uttered ‘だから！’

Sorry, I’m at the office so I can’t post the link but it goes something like this:

Customer: points to the coffee jar あ！あれ！コーヒをください！
CutieNogizaka46Girl: crouched to get something
CutieNogizaka46Girl: ヂーチューン(Gaming PC)入ります！
Customer: あ！だから！

I thought it was something like “So what?” but when I asked my friend he told me that it isn’t and it was kinda complicated to explain. Care to explain? Thanks in advance!

だから by itself is usually something like, “Like I said!”

★When you make your point by repeating your quote/ When you want to get the listener’s attention, we use だから ( = dakara)
= I told you so. That’s why I told you.
(It may sound a little intrusive or frustrated.)

Though watching the girls corpsing is pretty funny.

I prefer this type of ad to the usual, even if gets old real quick.

I only watched the first variation of the commercial, but I thought it was pretty funny. Better than most commercials.

TIL the word “corpsing”. I obviously haven’t watched enough British comedy.

I wonder why they left it in the commercial. Maybe it was a live shoot?

Well, I think the two guys are a professional comedy duo. Not competely certain on that point. In some ways they’re pranking the girls almost as much as the girls are pranking them.

Ah so it’s maybe some kind of unscripted set up?
