#128 Songs In The Key Of Shut Up Apr 18, 2018

Show notes

Andrew and Genevieve are joined by friend and musician Celene Ramadan (AKA Prom Queen!) to talk about songs that have been ruined (or improved?) by their use in commercials. They also discover some lost Alan Rickman audition tapes of a...dubious origin.

#127 Squad Goals Apr 11, 2018

Show notes

Andrew and Genevieve (and Ron!) assemble their perfect friend squads based on TV commercials, and they debate the merits of having a chaos agent in the group. Plus, Japanese candy ads are getting weirder, and that's really saying something. AND...Andrew makes good on his promise to sing a jingle from his youth.

#126 If Loving You Is Ron, I Don't Want To Be Right Apr 04, 2018

Show notes

After Genevieve spotted him in a local TV ad, friend and professional broadcaster Ron Upshaw is back to talk about what it's like to be in commercials, Plus it's a big-time Jingle Time with a bunch of submissions from the Ad Council. And we want to know who's in your commercial squad!

#125 Bring In Da Noise, Bring In Defunct Mar 28, 2018

Show notes

Genevieve provides a guide to the many, many spokes-owls hawking products these days, then Andrew tests her knowledge of defunct restaurant chains. But the real star of this week's show is our new Jingle Writer in Chief.

#124 Your Research Is Showing Mar 21, 2018

Show notes

Genevieve and Andrew examine commercials that are clearly responding to market research -- including one market research company that had to market research itself. Plus, it's a very presidential (in the modern sense) edition of Commercials in the News.

#123 I Like the Way You Move Mar 14, 2018

Show notes

Andrew and Genevieve are moving and they're bringing the Ad Council with them for a journey into the advertising trope of moving day. And then things get operatic.

#122 I'm Talking To The Ad In The Mirror Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Andrew and Genevieve look at the many ads that use the device of alter egos to pitch their products. It's self-on-self action this week, plus Andrew reveals his longstanding contempt for slam poetry.

#121 Act Your Age Feb 28, 2018

Show notes

Andrew is obsessed with an insurance campaign's specificity, and he also shocks Genevieve with a very saucy ad from the 1970s. We also induct another commercial into the ATM Hall Of Fame, and we get a much-needed update on Bud Light's Dilly Dilly campaign.

#120 Do Gooders, Dirty Ducks, and Dancing Pants Feb 21, 2018

Show notes

Genevieve and Andrew consider socially responsible marketing campaigns that worked (and some that didn't), and they learn that they're not the only ones who took issue with that Scout, the girl in the annoying Apple commercial.

#119 Every Kiss Begins With Jay Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

Between the Winter Olympics, Valentines Day and listener-submitted jingles, Andrew and Genevieve have a full agenda this week, as Andrew tries to stump Genevieve with a quiz, and a local commercial gets them giggling.
