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:

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:

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:

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!

Vieves takes over with a slate of “in the wild” ads she’s been seeing with a weirdly high concentration of English accents. Plus, Taco Bell tries to change their rep, and Andrew is NOT having it. And an Ad Councilor does their own admonishing and adcollating.

Andrew and Vieves get a major assist from an Ad Councilor with a keen eye for hockey-related ads, including an absolutely batshit commercial for a short-lived piece of technology. It’s ATM on Ice!

Andrew gets Vieves’ take on a buzzy new Apple commercial and is inspired to look at other ads that feature smashing and bashing. Plus, a new segment is already off the rails, and an Ad Councilor shares a piece of their local ad landscape.

A new entry in the Progressive campaign kicks off a conversation about how bosses show up in commercials. Plus an old friend stops by to explain both basketball and hip-hop to Andrew and Vieves, and an Ad Councilor pulls back the curtain on a vast auto glass conspiracy.

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.

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.
