Andrew and Vieves take a break from fast-talking pitchmen and slow things down with ads that deploy slow-motion to make the sale.

#487 Dread Lightly

Andrew and Vieves look at ads that dare to ask what actually is the meaning of life, and how much insurance, religion, wealth management and toilet paper does it take to fill the void? Plus, one local lawyer has a big reaction to... something? And a vintage doll commercial rolls all the bad ideas into one.

#489 A Spot In The Dark

An unusually grim joke in a car ad inspires Vieves and Andrew to look at commercials for everything from chocolate bars to travel sites with a decidedly macabre bent. Plus, Andrew’s face blindness strikes again, and an Ad Councilor sends out an SOS to prove he’s not crazy.
