It's good to see that there is still creativity in the ad world; this is a clever commercial!
OT: Capital One Christmas Ad
- Thread starter DJ Spanky
- Start date
We just saw it during the Macy's Parade broadcast, Tyler hadn't seen it before and didn't believe that was John Travolta.
I wouldn’t say clever, but a cute treat for those of us stayin’ alive all these decades later.
But did you notice at the 0:17 mark the cashier that says, "Where ya been?" That's actress Donna Pescow who starred as Annette, hopelessly in love with Tony Manero (John Travolta) in "Saturday Night Fever."
In NJ, pointless contrarian argument is how we say “I love you”.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I’m thankful for Spanky creating this thread.
The movie Saturday Night Fever was released at the end of 1977. Old people like me will remember the introduction, with John Travolta striding down the street, and that you could not turn on the radio without hearing Staying Alive, You Should Be Dancing, and other songs from the album. But does the ad mean anything to anyone younger than that?
BTW, the movie was originally R-rated. But it was younger teens that bought the music. So a PG-rated version was later released so that they could see the movie.
Another BTW that concerns another movie: there are videos on Youtube of Olivia Newton-John bringing John Travolta on stage to sing You're the One That I Want with her. They are much older, but the electricity is still there.
Yup, creative and well done indeed like @oldtimer67 said. Speaking of funny creative ads, I've been really enjoying the new Etsy ad series, the one to the Mission Impossible song, haha. Here's a few of them:
The state is home to a concentration of difficult people, edgy and contrarian and unkind, and just itchin' for an argument. Les Miserables. They revel in their unhappiness and joylessness, and want to bring you into their fold. Best to avoid them, especially as the Holidays approach.In NJ, pointless contrarian argument is how we say “I love you”.

Surely you must know that Robert Hayes was also in the show.
I don’t know. We NJ folks give each other **** all the time. But when push comes to shove, we will also go to great lengths to help each other out. I really like the NJ attitude. I like the NYC attitude too.
Oh who am I kidding, I love everybody.
