Summary

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.
