#444 Boss Prevention
A new entry in the Progressive campaign kicks off a conversation about how bosses show up in commercials. Plus an old friend stops by to explain both basketball and hip-hop to Andrew and Vieves, and an Ad Councilor pulls back the curtain on a vast auto glass conspiracy.

#443 You’re Killing Me, Jerry!
An advertisement for Jerry Seinfeld’s new Pop-Tarts movie -- along with a frustrating interview he did with the New Yorker -- prompt Genevieve and Andrew to look back on the comedian’s commercials over the years. Plus, the Ad Councilors bring us a new jingle and a harbinger of the looming robot invasion.

#442 Be Dental With Me
Andrew and Vieves look at ads that use the fraught experience of being in the dentist’s chair to signify everything from the sadism of capitalistic excess to the existential crisis of incoherence. Plus, a debate about Minnesota Nice gets testy, and another Ad Councilor gets got.

#441 The Bored Giveth, and the Bored Taketh Away
Andrew and Vieves consider the relative merits of boredom as a marketing strategy, with ads for everything from banks to… well, a lot of banks. Plus, one Ad Councilor wound up in a catch-and-release situation thanks to a campaign that took a nosedive.

#440 If You Can't Stand the Cheat, Get Out of the Pitchin'
Andrew and Vieves look at commercials that ask: why do it the hard way? From high protein snacks to hot dates, shortcuts are everywhere. Plus, a comedy cult favorite is the new spokesperson for a dating app, and a new segment considers ads that REALLY work.
