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. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: New Yorker Radio Hour https://link.chtbl.com/qOucM248 Unfrosted Promo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uv1ofWr8Zk Jerry and Bill pt 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImyK29QLs_A Jerry and Bill - living with normies Pt 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSPcwLR2y04 Jerry and Bill - living with normies Pt 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6ikiI--Gh4 American Express - Perfect Pump (ft.

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.

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.

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.

Sneakerhead, Lakers fan, and friend of the pod Nick Jarin joins Andrew and Vieves to talk about the representation of basketball in commercials, as well as provide some much needed fact-checking for Andrew’s knowledge of Jimmy Butler.

In a world where so much of life is utterly predictable, it makes sense that so many ad wizards would turn to surprise parties to inject a little spontaneity into their pitches. Plus Andrew discovers that one brand has been his nemesis all along, and a racecar driver has really taken to the culture.

Awkward silences and uncomfortable moments at the dinner table are a staple of commercial comedy, apparently. Plus, Vieves might get to taste a celebrated chicken chain, and the real reason for the doctored photo of Princess Kate is finally revealed.

Andrew quizzes Vieves on her ear for spokeschickens and non-spokeschickens. Plus, the internet is alerted to a bonkers beer campaign of days gone by, and how many cute jingles does it take to sell meat paste?

Vieves’ excessive screen time manifests in a piping hot Vieves Takeover as she lambasts the one percent for promoting stupid gimmicks and interrogates a very weird toilet ad. Plus, Andrew resurrects some classic 90s burger promotions, and the Ad Council remembers a time when Junior WAS baseball.

Andrew and Vieves consider ads that rely on that awkward moment when two exes collide. Plus, Andrew thinks he might have a strong argument on appeal based on a podcast ad he heard, and the Ad Council really brings it with the jingles this week.

The Ad Council weighs in on this year’s Super Bowl ads, including the expanding Dunkings universe, the relative efficacy of marketing for world religions, and a local ad for gas fireplaces that overshot considerably. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: Scientology - Decide for yourself https://youtu.be/lkK-I4utC_Y?si=a-9y7ulcW8dd8ovD Dunkings - behind the scenes “wasn’t ready for that” https://youtu.be/lD9Bgcj0QiI?si=CVg7vEJd2JtC1yZM Charli D’Amelio on Jimmy Fallon https://youtu.be/9OBpfP3S4XE?si=l3xF3IYcbAVQ03i7&t=81 Dunkings extended cut: https://youtu.be/yxTRX1NrsUY?si=X-j_oSc5FmSPZgoo Uber Eats - Usher forgot how to rollerskate https://youtu.be/edF0csZU6CM?si=QeCWbLXKTXkY3JdR Cypress Air - Why buy a gas fireplace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5F7ccXWwgQ PETA - Cheese https://youtu.be/dhC90abWnOY?si=HdbiWX5AcJtSSTfz

This year’s crop of Super Bowl ads was as star-studded as ever, but this time, celebs seemed to take it on the chin a bit…even Outerspace Beyoncé. Vieves and Andrew hand out awards for the best, the worst, and the neggiest of the negs in the 4th Annual Bowlie Awards!

With the Super Bowl looming, Andrew and Vieves look at this year’s crop of teasers and pre-game ads in preparation for the fourth annual Bowlie Awards.

Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: Geico - “The Caveman Returns: The Nightmare” (Documentary Story pt 1) https://www.ispot.tv/ad/58Zy/geico-the-caveman-returns-the-nightmare Geico- “Commercial Cuddles” (Documentary Story pt 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI1jugqWKPA .

After a gripe-filled takeover by Vieves, Andrew turns back the clock to a simpler time, when men were sailors, loggers and pilots, and women knew how to pipe down! Plus, a plumbing classic throws an Ad Councilor for a loop, and children write the best song parodies.

Nothing says nonconformity like buying or selling a mass-produced product, so Andrew and Vieves look at ads aimed at the rebels, renegades and iconoclasts in need of SUVs, car insurance and Beanie Babies. Plus, a batch of 90s ads sows more confusion around long distance calling and floral arrangements.

A roundup of new commercials leads Andrew and Vieves to contemplate the dark heart of an Xfinity campaign, new comedy gold from Dr. Rick, and whether Mr. Darcy has been forever Wamsganned. Plus, an Ad Councilor revives a diet classic.

Andrew and Vieves look at commercials that take the battle for market share literally with ads that throw down over everything from cookies to office conduct. Plus, an Ad Councilor updates a jingle for the modern era, and it slaps!

Andrew and Vieves look at ads that ask the humble hotdog vendor to sell everything BUT hotdogs. Plus, a mattress company commercial gives up halfway through, and a quadruped takes to the skies.

Notorious grade-grubber Vieves is put to the literal test by Andrew’s look back at some of ATM’s most dissected ads of 2023. Plus, a fruit basket company is coming for Folgers’ most infamous crown, and one Aussie cements his iconic status.

Vieves is back with her trademark blend of a high concept paired with a total lack of facility with internet culture, as she and Andrew break down commercials inspired by the socials. Plus, Andrew pieces together a confusing sportsbook ad, and Arnold Schwarzenegger looms large over Muscle Beach.
