PBS Makes Fun of Reality TV

At the risk of sounding like your Pop-Pop, TV was so much better back in the day. Apparently PBS agrees with me, as they've released a series of posters and commercials meant to open our eyes. CHI & Partners worked with PBS to poke fun at the current state of television, creating bogus commercials for the season premiers of Clam Kings, Long Island Landscapers and Meet the Tanners. The really scary part (I mean the part that keeps me up at night) is that I can see Long Island Landscapers becoming a real show (its only a step away from Treehouse Masters on Discovery...)




Football Season at Dick's - Every Snap

With preseason camps starting everywhere next month, Dick's Sporting Goods began ramping up its football campaign. This spot mimics its earlier Baseball commercial back in March, focusing on the sounds of the field in a single-shot masterpiece, though it has its own feel to it. It highlights the chaos and tension that follows every play, with sideline play-calling complimented by a crazy amount of audibles and trash talking. The commercial ends with the quarterback screaming for the snap on 4th and inches and the crunch of pads in the trenches. Dick's continues to move in the right direction with Anomaly's newest creation below:

New Wonderfilled Commercial

What the heck is this?! This isn't the juvenile, fun-filled Wonderfilled Commercials that we're used to. This is about a woman wrecking some guys relationship. This isn't an Avril Lavigne video, its supposed to be about innocence!

In all seriousness, I don't have a problem with the commercial, but it is a little different than what they usually do. At least the memorable jingle is still there.
