Hasbro's Potato Head Kids
Whether you’re an effete Prussian monarch or under a strict rationing mandate, you’ve got to agree: potatoes are really something. And now, Al endeavours to explain to Dee just what that something is. And! The origins of everyone’s favourite tuber toy, and what it portends for the future.

Domino's Pizza Delivers
It’s pizza night, baby! Dee is back in the driver’s seat for this episode and he initiates Al into deep-state pies and deep-dish data. Plus we chat about our youth sporting histories, rank our favorite pizza chains and get pill-pilled with a Bismarck, North Dakota PSA.

United Feature Syndicate’s Talking Garfield
Your two big beefy boys are back with this week’s episode, in which Al opines the loss of local op-ed gripes, and Dee gets tossed into the deep end of the Garf-ocean. Plus, we take a trip to beautiful Fredericton, NB. See you in the funny pages, xoxo.

General Mills' Circus Fun
It's time to bite the bullet and broach the big top as Al horses around with Dee. We're talking magic marshmallows, American cuisine, and more than you needed to know about Al's proclivities for the carnivalesque. Plus, a local ad for the Summer seekers.

Clairol's Herbal Essences
I hope you’ve got the urge, friend, because it’s time to get lathered. This week, Al lures Dee in with hedonic history, and an exploration of how, even in a protestant wasteland, pleasure can be found. Plus, the UK takes on American theme parks, and the titillating euphoria of being known.

Fujitsu Interactive's Another Earth In Me
Who and what on earth is “Finfin?” In this episode, Al bares their soul to Dee who threatens to fight a computer game character as a result. But there’s so much more! Horny mouse drawings from an anime god, a classic voyeur FMV game, an iconic queen from Japan and some truly lovely lamps.

Customer Reviews
Fresh
A funny and insightful review of advertisements. Loved their work on the Double X Files and love this too!
I love the taste of their Schlitz
The finest on the market
Here’s what happened when I first listened to AD CREEPS:
- My khakis? Pressed and folded.
- My sports team? Sent to the centre of the Earth to battle aliens in basketball.
- My boys? Milk-fed.
- My ED? Now I can support a soaking wet hotel robe with that thing. The real fluffy robes. Not even a problem.
This may be the exact reason why sound first passed through a wire. Just for this. Just so we can know more about beer dogs.
May the Ad Creeps bless YOUR EARS with their glory.
Your Show Is So Gay
Your show is SO. GAY.
Your show! IS! SO! GAY!!!
The queer joy has broken the broken the meter: this is a shiny and fun corner of the internet that the world needs. Thank you for all of the research, laughter, and rando facts that go into making Ad Creeps. It brings me immense happiness to hear you both cackling and living your best nerd lives. ♥️!!!
