Show notes

Guest producer Theresa delivers a show about all the myriad uses for jackhammers in selling everything from headache relief to cat litter. Plus, a spotter gets spotted, and Google’s ongoing decline appears to accelerate like an Olympic track star. Here are links to the ads and articles we talked a out in this week’s show: Tylenol https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AJFQ/tylenol-cold-flu-severe-jackhammer Claritin https://youtu.be/xxaz9VeE_2g?si=OgimBkTA7afaCE-q Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7gnu/dr-scholls-massaging-gel-jackhammer Arm and Hammer Cat Litter https://www.ispot.tv/ad/A07_/arm-and-hammer-slide-jackhammer Popcorn Chicken Shake https://adsspot.me/media/tv-commercials/kfc-popcorn-chicken-shake-jackhammer-a07b94632a02 Maine Spirits - Cocktail shaker https://vimeo.com/346938385 AFLAC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fIyLfORGXs Geico - Motorcycle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyrl1mr_2fc Amex - dance routine; fun surprise! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1229875151207729 Bud Light xray vision - https://www.ispot.tv/events/2008-super-bowl-commercials/bud-light-x-ray-vision Papermate Profile (pen) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVFvJZwPmcM Gatorade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPqZZbDsdFk Patch.com - “Google Pulls Widely-Criticized Ad That Features NJ Olympian” https://patch.com/new-jersey/asbury-park/s/iyav2/google-pulls-widely-criticized-ad-that-features-nj-olympian?utm_term=article-slot-1&utm_source=newsletter-daily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter&user_email=99acd6566cb2e78197a4e8527e29fe544246d798fb9fa03ab5ee59882175eae6&user_email_md5=06a167999006cb611ed4dfa7aa74c8c0&lctg=4e593690e018bee76c49cea8 Google/Gemini - Dear Sydney https://youtu.be/NgtHJKn0Mck?si=YQkX70CPl3CIehvC

#456 But Weight, There’s More! Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

After Andrew gets gaslit by the internet, he and Vieves pivot to looking at the weightiest commercials for insurance, mortgages and “spistachios.” Plus, is ice the investment opportunity that you’ve been looking for? And in a fight between a faulty GPS and an Ad Councilor, who will emerge victorious? Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: Better Help - Workout https://www.ispot.tv/ad/qJ0T/betterhelp-workout The General - Weightlifting ft Shaq https://youtu.be/PeLvedlGdWw?si=ZW1oT9ut8Ea03zX_ Rocket Mortgage - Jason Momoa Super Bowl Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGWCzeAOenU Apple Music - Drake vs Bench Press https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86D7AGm5sHk Pyramid Credit Union - Weight Lifting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwP9_PSJNWw Allstate - Olympic Weightlifting (ft.

#455 Freezy Does It Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

Andrew and Vieves put the ice in nice when they look at ads featuring everything from cubes to Cubes, and Vanillla to chocolate. Plus, Tinder’s “meet cute” campaign sparks more discussion this week thanks to an Ad Councilor’s skillful doctoring. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Twice the Ice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNyiYeH6QSo&t=24s Bud Ice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd0akIZ9igg Labatt Ice Beer (1993) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XZvUVCzT_c Ice Breakers (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4RGbfzXJNk Bailey’s Ice (UK) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3uiM9dje_Q Capital Light (ft.

#454 Que Sera, Cera Jul 17, 2024

Show notes

While trying to determine if the truth is, in fact, out there, Andrew and Vieves are exposed to ads for everything ranging from food delivery apps to dating apps, but no matter what, they WON’T be talking about ads featuring Tom Brady. Plus, an Ad Councilor blows the whistle on a top-notch performance. Here are the link to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Uber Eats - Michael Cera - Pool Party https://www.ispot.tv/ad/58KH/uber-eats-michaels-pool-party-featuring-michael-cera Uber Eats - Helen Mirren - Golden Voice / Neighbor https://www.ispot.tv/ad/581g/uber-eats-helens-golden-voice-featuring-helen-mirren Uber Ets - Michael Cera - Grilling Machine https://www.ispot.tv/ad/5e99/uber-eats-michael-cera-grilling-machine Instacart - Apartment Farm https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6sll/instacart-apartment-farm Carls Jr. - Bumper https://vimeo.com/941374375 Tinder - One Night Stand https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1O2T/tinder-it-starts-with-a-swipe-one-night-stand Tinder - Breakfast https://www.ispot.tv/ad/5YoC/tinder-it-starts-with-a-swipe-breakfast-surprise Tinder - Rain https://youtu.be/lHV-S7_SeVk?si=SVppIl9sSu-UXQ4o ADT - One Second https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6iNj/adt-when-every-second-counts AT&T - High horse (Dentist) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/64yk/at-and-t-wireless-high-horse-samsung-galaxy-z-flip6 Taco Bell - Throughout That Journey https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6euA/taco-bell-cravings-value-menu-throughout-that-journey-featuring-lp-giobbi Progressive - Whistleblower https://youtu.be/bNaebhsUPYo?si=rbArTPLCBorebNdy

#453 Flapper’s Delight Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

Andrew and Vieves look at ads set in the Prohibition Era, when the jazz was hot, the booze was illegal, and a soda company could use the long arm of the law to crush the competition. Plus, the Alabama Hammer isn’t so hammery (or Alabama-y), and Verizon once again gets roasted. Here are links to the ads we talked about in in this week’s show: Pop Corners - Speakeasy https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6f2D/popcorners-sleep-easy-featuring-don-cheadle Michelob - 1st day of Prohibition https://youtu.be/Rdn9pY_Wm-Q?si=WI42VQa8vQK32rYJ Budweiser - End of Prohibition https://youtu.be/2j-9sM1MxyE?si=axGvrr0iVEyrn5CK Coca-Cola - Bust https://youtu.be/asjAQkajDMk?si=C0oi0hl0BtJeV15W Remus Bourbon - Bootleggers https://youtu.be/Qwuv4rwwHjY?si=8rqQVMUe6ius5nne Johnny Bootlegger - Legends https://youtu.be/7ug3tgelr-c?si=uAOoveuDbF9ktkId Johny Bootlegger - Date Night https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1Wnd/johny-bootlegger-date-night Mike Slocumb - Bill Shatner Local law firm https://youtu.be/YvbQFR3kRe8?si=VkXVGndmbV6AMHvk YouTuber Austin Archer - Moments in Marketing History https://youtu.be/OlMXpMYvJjo?si=nZkOJwGwMskALleM Verizon - Scrooge https://www.ispot.tv/ad/2Rhw/verizon-tis-the-season-free-5g-phone-featuring-cecily-strong

#452 Court Jesters Jul 03, 2024

Show notes

After much fanfare, Andrew and Vieves unveil an assortment of ads sent by the Ad Councilors for local personal injury lawyers, most of whom are styling themselves as “The Hammer.” We’ll see you in court!

#451 Zillow Talk Jun 26, 2024

Show notes

Generational differences are on Andrew and Genevieve’s mind this week as Zillow tries to attract young, broke adults into the housing market and Taco Bell uses a hot new DJ to sell a dream. Plus, Andrew is really impressed with a new ad campaign from AirBNB, and fast food companies can’t stop talking about how much their food sucks? Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Zillow - Fox Scarf https://youtu.be/pK75jrBUQb8?si=2GDJORZJfoxb3D1v Zillow - Portrait https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6y4g/zillow-diy-home-loan Zillow: Homeowner Mates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X84wllJkdeU AirBNB: Empty Nest https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1tD_/airbnb-empty-nest AirBNB: Your Own Bedtime https://www.ispot.tv/ad/5UUN/airbnb-pick-your-own-bedtime AirBNB: Close Friend https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6286/airbnb-friends-trip-song-by-cardi-b AirBNB: Kids https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6RU8/airbnb-get-an-airbnb-pool-song-by-kelis Domino’s - CEO Focus Group https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6iZn/dominos-new-york-style-pizza-focus-group Jack in the Box - Haters https://www.ispot.tv/ad/66v9/jack-in-the-box-smash-jack-real-haters Taco Bell - Throughout That Journey https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6euA/taco-bell-cravings-value-menu-throughout-that-journey-featuring-lp-giobbi Sunglass Hut: Find Every Shade of You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1vxuCXvROI Footlocker - John Goodman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL3NAKJfiN4 Temptations - DJ Cat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5iVbNCmAJg Sweet Pickles Bus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61xwsu7QyOQ

#450 The Miller Tale Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

A nostalgia-soaked campaign by Miller Lite and a pepped-up approach by Sonic Drive-In both seem bent on lifting the national mood, through drunkenness and/or french fries. Plus, a medical referral service makes a rash decision. Here are links to the ads and articles we talked about in this week’s show: Miller Lite Revives Iconic Great Taste, Less Filling Debate Featuring A New Generation Of Celebrity All Stars https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/miller-lite-revives-iconic-great-taste-less-filling-debate-featuring-a-new-generation-of-celebrity-all-stars-302095996.html Miller Lite - Bob Uecker & John Goodman https://youtu.be/5TeOCy0lA8M?si=6cyY4sirOCRGbsQv Miller Lite - Conrad Dobler, troublemaker https://youtu.be/21QtXjUodsg?si=YAHD91djIfvsEjyR Miller Lite - Destiny https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6TSQ/miller-lite-destiny-feat-jj-watt-luke-wilson-reggie-miller-mia-hamm-david-ortiz Miller Lite - Nothing better, Reggie Miller & JJ Watt https://youtu.be/a37soHskwIs?si=ako0A7wEyRlgpof_ Miller Lite - Fan Chants https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6WNB/miller-lite-fan-chants-featuring-david-ortiz-jorge-posada-and-luke-wilson Miller Lite Beer Tape https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5itidlp4FM0 Sonic - Live Free campaign launch https://www.marketingdive.com/news/sonic-drive-in-live-free-brand-platform-campaign-qsr-marketing/717546/ Sonic Drive-In - Live free eat Sonic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6pBfdfVIuA Sonic - Groovy Fries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btf2rnbtGes ZocDoc: Rash https://youtu.be/v9ke4XmfJvc?si=hSyA69cwIf8PN5y8 Hyundai Tucson: Blind Date https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6hES/2024-hyundai-tucson-joy-is-advanced-tech-and-safety-features-t2

#449 My Meloni Has A First Name Jun 12, 2024

Show notes

After Vieves introduced actor and beloved zaddy Christopher Meloni into evidence last week, Andrew makes good on his threat to produce a “Meloni or Bologna” show that leaves very little of Meloni’s bologna to the imagination. Plus, the Queen of Soul shills for hotdogs, and Jennifer Garner is no Tom Hanks. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: McDonalds - First Date (ft. Christopher Meloni) https://youtu.be/bufg-yL8EAw?si=halosT3bnS75wjvp Christopher Meloni talks about his first commercial with Harry Conick Jr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjEUODkTE-0 Peloton: Strange Way To Work Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DER105jGBP4 Tommie Copper (Instagram Ad) https://www.instagram.com/chris_meloni/reel/CuPztynp_rf/ Roy Rogers: Fake New Yorkers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Riksuo2zQ00 Roy Rogers: Chicken Sharks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAEVLV9RoYE Burger King: Yumbo Hot Ham And Cheese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSXZRWuUDo8 Stroh Lite: Dog Impersonations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djzLj0g3kS8 Head and Shoulders: Ski Resort https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJJOUtlfw28 Domestic Violence PSA: Speechless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPhl6STaIf4 Mine Hill Bourbon (Instagram Ad) https://www.instagram.com/meloniproject/reel/C7RXwfTs66w/ Oscar Mayer - My Bologna https://youtu.be/il-BZjDY2EA?si=cy-5qsO3aI-5V7E2 Armor Hot Dogs Jingle By Aretha https://youtu.be/Qzpjxq44D-M?si=LLUvmuxVu1szI5tM Capital One / League Of Their Own https://youtu.be/eG09lO34ot4?si=vXuqowktDg6ZOsCy Syfovre - ”Face Paint” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKbeddXE-bw

#448 Sell By Date Jun 05, 2024

Show notes

A vintage fast food ad with a dark side inspires Vieves to look at commercials that take place on first dates and run the gamut from adorable to certifiable. Red flags are everywhere! Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: McDonalds - Christopher Meloni “Larry” https://youtu.be/bufg-yL8EAw?si=halosT3bnS75wjvp Chilis - First date https://www.ispot.tv/ad/71Vt/chilis-first-date Applebees - 2 for $20 https://www.ispot.tv/ad/AKMJ/applebees-2-for-20-first-date JP Morgan Chase - First Date https://www.ispot.tv/ad/2h_T/jpmorgan-chase-freedom-unlimited-first-date-drugstore-offer Toyota - Start your impossible https://www.ispot.tv/ad/OMpr/toyota-start-your-impossible-first-date-t1 Adoption - Prom https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ItQJ/adopt-us-kids-first-date Progressive - Blind Date https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-JufFm6Vwc Geico - First date https://www.ispot.tv/ad/wbq3/geico-investigation-discovery-first-date Geico - Pirate Fans Unite https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dArk/geico-first-date-surprises Cars.com https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7pdm/cars-com-first-date Chevy Cruze - Friend request https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7zD9/2015-chevrolet-cruze-first-date-thenew-independence Bud Light Seltzer - Block it out https://www.ispot.tv/ad/q5SV/bud-light-seltzer-first-date-featuring-nick-mangold Bud Light - Contingency planning https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Iht/bud-light-first-date Uber Reserve - Shaving accident https://www.ispot.tv/ad/2ndv/uber-reserve-first-date Senokot - Constipation https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dQCY/senokot-first-dates Speedstick https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Afbz/speed-stick-first-date-featuring-john-c-mcginley Lexus - Sam https://www.ispot.tv/ad/tVTU/lexus-es-sam-t1
