There are lots of interesting ways to get people to talk about your product. While having “tryouts” for a new Cadbury Bunny has worked for the last 40 years the whole thing with Skittles and “tasting the rainbow” have been hit or miss. These commercial gimmicks for treats usually a whimsical character or have a […]
“GET UP! GET UP! GET OUTTA HERE AND GOOOOONNNNE!” That’s Bob Uecker’s signature home run call when he’s calling a Brewers game and the home team puts on over the fence. When I first started at Mid-West Family I had to run Brewers games in our sports station WKTY. I’m not a huge baseball fan […]
We all knew someone who could do a pretty good imitation of Napoleon Dynamite or a terrible one. The independent film that you either love or hate still gave us one of the strangest if not memorable characters in cinema. 20 years later and quotes from this movie are still uttered today. For the 20th […]
We know the Super Bowl is always the penultimate day for commercials and Groundhog Day is the biggest celebration of a marmot. One is a celebration of sport and the other is the celebration of a shorter or longer winter. Actor and entrepenuer Ryan Reynolds teamed up with Lay’s potato chips to make a commercial […]

Sometimes we get classic ads that have been playing for decades such as the Hershey’s Kisses bell choir, the Campbell’s Snowman Soup, the Corona Christmas Palm Tree, or even the M&M’s meet Santa ad.

We all remember a few years ago when it didn’t seem like you could turn on the radio and not hear a big “WHOOOOOO!!” for a car dealership. The commercials were at times polarizing. Some people loved them and some people did not. One thing I noticed is if I traveled north in Minnesota I […]
Last year was a blow to anyone that had plans to marry. Either they couldn’t have them at all or they were diminished in size due to health concerns. Who else suffered due to the pandemic’s affect on not gathering? Wedding singers. Sure your first image is of Adam Sandler singing to Drew Barrymore with […]
There’s nothing worse than when you open the fridge at work and that Tupperware that has been sitting there for a month or two looks like it’s staring back at you. It’s not yours, but you’re tired of seeing it and decide to throw it out. You open it. Mold! It’s what happens naturally to […]
