I’ll admit, up until a few weeks ago I didn’t realize K-Mart was still in existence. The last K-Mart I entered was within a mile of a Caldor, a Child World and a Bradlees (3 northeast chains which have since gone the way of the Dodo bird). Now thanks to a new viral video, K-Mart [...]

The Evolution of Super Bowl Spots: Male Grooming
A lot of talk about old Super Bowl ads revolves around beer, soft drinks and investment companies, but if we look at male grooming ads over the years, we can get a real sense of what mattered during that time period. 1970, Gillette Techmatic Razor. The gist: facial hair = manliness. 1973, Noxzema. Did [...]

Our Favorite Super Bowl Spots: Volkswagen, 2011
Kaitlin’s Pick: “The Force” If you’ve ever dressed up as your favorite character and tore around the house, hoping that somehow, your costume would give you powers, then you understand the magic of this 2011 Super Bowl commercial.

The Muppets Take America
It all started with a rendition of “Bein’ Green” on an episode of Glee three weeks ago. And then two weeks ago, during the Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family, it was the spoof of the same station’s Pretty Little Liars.

The Brand Your Brand Could Be Like (or Not)
Have you ever heard of Isaiah Mustafa? He’s an actor. He played a bailiff on an episode of Ugly Betty back in 2008. Remember??? Wait, how about that cop that appeared in two episodes of Days of Our Lives in 2009? I thought that had daytime Emmy written all over it. I’m also lying. If [...]

The Greatest Rivalry in Sports History Now has a Commercial to Match
The three installments of New Era’s recently released “Yankees/Red Sox Rivalry” campaign may arguably be some of the greatest sports commercials of all time. That’s a bold statement considering most Americans may never see them. Yet what they lack in mass appeal, these spots make up for in authenticity and pure comedic genius. So what [...]
