  1. #548 Blimp My Ride

    3D AGO

    #548 Blimp My Ride

    An important centennial prompts Andrew and Vieves expend a lot of hot air looking at ads featuring blimps. Plus, a rapping commercial divides the house of ATM, and an internet jingle is able to win Andrew over. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Sportscenter: Blimp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSZjJcTgBAg AT&T Wireless: Blimp Operator https://www.ispot.tv/ad/IqyF/at-and-t-wireless-game-analysis-blimp-operator Goodyear: The Blimp’s Behind Us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3sJ-QeaPgY Discount Tire Company https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VCzPDA0m-k BF Goodrich: The Other Guys (ft.

    MAY 5

    #547 A Moving Experience

    A collection of commercials about moving day turns out to contain a surprising amount of pathos for ads about coffee and internet service. Plus, Subaru walks the knife edge between safety consciousness and fear-mongering with mixed results. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Xfinity - “Moving Day” (2020) (ft. Amy Pohler) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/tIG4/xfinity-moving-day-featuring-amy-poehler Carlsberg - “Moving In” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGpWcRoOJpc KFC Canada - “Moving Day” https://adage.com/video/kfc-canada-moving-day/ Realtor.com - “Moving Day & the Not-Yous” (ft Elizabeth Banks) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/w_gI/realtor-com-not-yous-move-in-day-featuring-elizabeth-banks Public Storage - “Moving In With Mom & Dad” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCtpM1hrcTs Polaroid - “Moving Day” (1973) https://youtu.be/eYzZtlBG1wI?si=O4TtoCpFD-HvIpid Folgers - “Move In” https://youtu.be/lPe0n-8hgrc?si=iEEEe5E2Va3Mo8cc Folger’s - “Moving In” https://youtu.be/P9ihN5041bE?si=qnsSZpkTd0zKkc5H Subaru - “Moving Out” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjzzstfviBM Regence - “Moving Day” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/f_S5/regence-moving-day Mother’s Recipe - “Moving Day” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/bVIo/mothers-recipe-moving-day Affinity Plus - “Moving In” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpe9zBUDAsw Mucinex - “Moving In Day” https://youtu.be/nvP5iXTmZ58?si=Mg9EsVbuMY5zQ5Li Spotify - “Moving” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/A5xH/spotify-moving-song-by-flo-rida Subaru - “The Things We Love” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbQ4m8CUo-w

    APR 29

    #546 Existential Tread

    As metaphors go, the going-nowhere-fast quality of a treadmill would seem like a bleak option for marketers, so Andrew and Vieves were surprised by the wit and range of treadmills in ads for everything from car tires to contact lenses. Plus, a jingle opens up new dimensions of cream cheese. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Adidas: “You Got This: Treadmill” (ft Lionel Messi and Patrick Mahomes) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TPYU/adidas-you-got-this-treadmill T-Mobile Home Internet: “Treadmill” (Featuring Zach Braff, Donald Faison) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/g5IF/t-mobile-home-internet-treadmill-30-per-month-featuring-zach-braff-donald-faison GEICO TV Spot: “MTV VMAs - Treadmill” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ArHb/geico-mtv-treadmill-song-by-daya Morgan & Morgan Law: “Two Treadmills” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/bAiJ/morgan-and-morgan-law-firm-free-treadmill Fios On Demand: “100% or Nothing: Treadmill” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gCoI/fios-on-demand-100-or-nothing-treadmill-starting-at-20-per-month Priceline: “Treadmill Bundling” (Ft.

    APR 22

    #545 Dream Scenarios

    A long overdue exploration of dreams as depicted in commercials has Vieves and Andrew looking at ads for everything from flooring to fried chicken. Plus, Andy’s Corner is back with a campaign that won Andrew over despite a poor start. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: Inspire Medical Systems - Tea party https://www.ispot.tv/ad/B0hm/inspire-medical-systems-daniels-tea-party-dream Inspire Medical Systems - Workout https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Bjcz/inspire-medical-systems-kettlebell-workout Adidas - Hello Tomorrow by Spike Jones https://youtu.be/gZSMofW4G58?si=ganDLlpWI4T26VT5 Doritos - Finger-lickers https://youtu.be/Dn4SkyopuaM?si=b-8302szeJhblaGe Floor & Decor - Nightmare https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gy_n/floor-and-decor-nightmare Homeserve - Nightmare https://www.ispot.tv/ad/f4Kf/homeserve-usa-nightmare Tena - Sweet dreams https://www.ispot.tv/ad/fBLl/tena-sensitive-care-overnight-pads-nightmare Jackpocket - Work nightmare https://www.ispot.tv/ad/bIio/jackpocket-nightmare KFC - Jim Gaffigan as the Colonel https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Aq9w/kfc-nashville-hot-chicken-nightmare-featuring-jim-gaffigan South West Plumbing: “Hey Bill: Pregnancy” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rqPGWmXsug South West Plumbing: “Hey Bill: Job Interview” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6FZsk0T-jE South West Plumbing: “Hey Bill: School Interview” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP5-UR6K24k South West Plumbing: “Hey Bill: Art Gallery” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKdumC6W9eE

    APR 15

    #544 Heavenly Features

    If heaven really is a place on earth, it must be a place where they sell everything from milk to mouse poison, if the ads that Vieves and Andrew discuss are any indication. Plus, a Canadian PSA pays off unexpectedly, and a comedy favorite was taking on daddy-daughter tropes before it was cool. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: Got Milk?: “Heaven Or Hell?” https://youtu.be/eph6_fz49rc?si=SDjaX1OrNUcgjFYB Snickers: “Waiting In Line For Heaven” https://youtu.be/6dIiNp2stZM?si=8sAEzcOYgUGcPlvZ Philadelphia Cream Cheese: “Angels In Heaven” https://youtu.be/39IZYTC_pvE?si=YRWYrMX6-nB7sVg4 D-CON: “Pearly Gates” https://adsspot.me/media/tv-commercials/d-con-pearly-gates-f6c4bb1046a3 Miller Lite: “Beer Heaven” https://youtu.be/WhOFTXzOXvU?si=Al-fllxErJJ-QO7G Las Vegas: “What Happens In Vegas: Pearly Gates” https://youtu.be/X6KsEmQqZmg?si=-_F2Anyc-cYQP6RF Life Line Screening: “Pearly Gates” https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ZMkC/life-line-screening-pearly-gates Big East Sports: “Pearly Gates” https://youtu.be/miK6hi4RgH8?si=v6lHw5IKTj1XQVaU Concerned Children's Advertisers: “House Hippos” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TijcoS8qHIE USAA - Williams family https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AcL8/usaa-the-williams-family?fbclid=IwY2xjawRLudhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeGBCnagXDORRptI3_4fEIkyNe6k3LST8rkhDSgNYy5zwv4mySMjk0kEQ33xI_aem_VGiHidbu1CDe9cosrymktQ Mr. Show - Mustardayonaise https://youtu.be/mRntutn8udw?si=Lfs6V-XDcgzJUUOq&t=109

    APR 8

    #543 Postal Elites

    A collection of commercial odds and ends results in a grab-bag’s worth of ads that have Andrew and Vieves waxing philosophical about hacky daddy-daughter tropes and the role stealth bombers play in snack time. Plus, Andrew tests Genevieve’s ability to recognize the new celebrity voice of a national sandwich concern. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: Subway: Who’s Ready For A Deal? https://www.ispot.tv/ad/glRN/subway-sub-club-members-whos-ready-for-a-deal Subway: New Bread https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gf3E/subway-new-bread Subway: Meal Of The Day https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gTAQ/subway-meal-of-the-day-for-699 Subway: New Turkey, More Meat https://www.ispot.tv/ad/g1cq/subway-new-turkey-more-meat New York Life: Every Dream Should Be Possible https://www.ispot.tv/ad/go_6/new-york-life-every-dream-deserves-to-feel-possible Ladder: Dumpster Fire https://youtu.be/W7-igCGQIAE?si=Skgp6EXnliz2bII2 Ladder: Legos https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gd4E/ladder-legos Steven Singer - I hate Steven Singer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7u3IPN_7_0 AFN Commercials https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6EDF0A2EC235A072&si=49B-keWlmLbq3CVf Hungry Jack Biscuits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4lNRjKMi8w

    #542 The Medium Is The Message

    A spooky (and sticky) sleepover game inspires a show about the occult arts as a means to sell everything from sneakers to stock picks. Plus, a denim ad turns out to be a window into classic cinema. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Brawny - Sleepover https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TFMJ/brawny-sprinkler BJs Wholesale Club - Seance https://youtu.be/mOWQhj5YH70?si=4busvAVBG_qNMj5V American Home Sheild warranty - Medium https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gpE0/american-home-shield-tune-teller-featuring-rachel-dratch TD Ameritrade - Psychic https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7uSc/td-ameritrade-you-got-this-fortune-teller Capital One - Fortune Teller https://www.ispot.tv/ad/boqx/capital-one-quicksilver-tune-teller-ft-charles-barkley-samuel-l-jackson-spike-lee Jordan M10s - It’s Melo https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7fW6/jordan-m10-tune-teller Budweiser - Past Lives https://youtu.be/mkkzQjSQU1g?si=s49M4M6_lyxwYfGH Levis - Travis https://youtu.be/EzQkenNMjXg?si=yTv7_DbmfGvFJxRI

    #541 Council Culture

    Before the Ad Council can have their say with an influx of ads for sleazy attorneys, frangible timepieces and DIY beer kegs, Vieves insists on a takeover with the ads she can’t get enough of. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Chewy - Monkey https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6_XL/chewy-monkey-save-35 DSW - Let us surprise you https://youtu.be/IpAkvRWX4N0?si=8Jzzvsnnm1enCM0u Kenzo World fragrance https://youtu.be/NoMqvniiEkk?si=GC5eQ9r42cTNyNZQ Wrangler - Jeans on https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ffGo/wrangler-jeans-on-song-by-david-dundas Allied Injury Group https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TU7Y/allied-injury-group-accident-that-wasnt-your-fault-your-favorite-lawyer?msockid=be1e1f98106c11f1ac002ec285715a48 Timex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkP8kOxMgGE Iron City Beer Pumper https://youtu.be/_3MF4_gK1wY?si=Y1rgrS1QsQTyTNy3 Long John Silvers - Michael Winslow https://youtu.be/hLzcVnDUDHk
