Andrew adapts a classic game show to test Vieves' knowledge of commercials past, and a listener email almost makes Andrew cry. Plus, what's going on with Airbnb? Do their ad wizards need therapy or what?

#281 Guess for Success

Friend of the show Nick Jarin pops in to explain what basketball players are to Andrew and Vieves. Plus a beloved icon is dragged from the grave to shill for soda, so... that's great. And the Ad Councilors REALLY deliver on the Michelob MadLibs front.

#282 March Adness

A profusion of commercials set in barbershops have Andrew and Vieves contemplating the community-building qualities of this great American institution. Plus, the Ad Councilors take everyone on a nostalgia-filled journey through the midwest.

#283 Ad Hair Day

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special podcast reunion of The Leap Home: A Look Bakula! Join hosts Aaron Mason and Nick Ahlers as they discuss an episode of Quantum Leap with Genevieve and Andrew.

EPISODE: "8 1/2 Months” (S03E12)
Sam leaps into a very pregnant teenager in 1955 and must convince her father to help her keep the baby.

GUEST POD: The Leap Home: A Look Bakula - "8 1/2 Months"

Vieves's TV watching habits have resulted in a hefty backlog of ads in dire need of opinionating, which she and Andrew are glad to deliver in this week's installment of Adcollades and Admonishments. Plus, an Ad Councillor spots a cereal commercial that's writhing with shame.

#284 A Whole Lotto Opinions

Vieves and Andrew look at commercials that feature aunts and uncles and all the attendant stereotypes that entails. Plus, Peter Gabriel grudgingly welcomes the Disney Channel-viewing public into his “secret world,” and the TV-viewing experience for service members in the 90s was NOT all it could be.

#408 You Can Myth Me With That

A late night viewing of an American TV classic with original ads proves to be a priceless snapshot of early 80s commercials that sends Andrew and Vieves on a full-blown nostalgia trip. From weird alt battery technology, to an upsetting toothpaste ad, to a battle of the nasal sprays, it really was incredible. Plus, Amazon lies about being a relationship-fixer.

#409 Ads Incredible!

Andrew and Vieves review a crop of recent ads that have them feeling the full spectrum of human emotions, and predictably, there are a lot of insurance commercials in the mix. Plus, an astute Ad Councilor decodes a puzzle ad, and a TV classic has a complicated origin story.

#411 You Insure About That?

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.

#430 Excuse The Era

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.

#432 The Bowlies IV: Dunkin’ on Celebs

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.

#133 Ben There, Done That

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.

Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show:

#434  Ex Marks the Spot

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.

#435 Legroom for Improvement

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?

#437 Dinners and Losers

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.

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.

#440 If You Can't Stand the Cheat, Get Out of the Pitchin'

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.

#441 The Bored Giveth, and the Bored Taketh Away

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.

#442 Be Dental With Me

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.
