  • Nothing says nonconformity like buying or selling a mass-produced product, so Andrew and Vieves look at ads aimed at the rebels, renegades and iconoclasts in need of SUVs, car insurance and Beanie Babies.

  • Andrew and Vieves look at commercials that take the battle for market share literally with ads that throw down over everything from cookies to office conduct. Plus, an Ad Councilor updates a jingle for the modern era, and it slaps!

  • Vieves is back with her trademark blend of a high concept paired with a total lack of facility with internet culture, as she and Andrew break down commercials inspired by the socials.
