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.

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.

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.
