About this episode

This episode explores the realm of bizarre and absurd advertising campaigns.

This week, we look at weird, unhinged advertising. Like the “PuppyMonkeyBaby” Super Bowl commercial.  The sad Skittles commercial where everything a man touches turns to Skittles. A leather diaper you can wear to heavy metal concerts so you won’t miss any songs. And a pizza that takes a year and a half to be delivered to your home. We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show. On the off-chance you  don’t ,  subscribe ad-free here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
