Target's Black Friday Ads Still Zany
Retailer unveils 'Deals Duet,' replacing Maria Bamford character
Target today posted a pair of 30-second Black Friday spots on its blog, unveiling the retailer's new "Deals Duet" characters that are replacing comedian Maria Bamford's fictional personalities, "Crazy Target Lady" and "Christmas Champ," after a two-year run.
The Deals Duet players sing quirky versions of holidays songs, Deck The Halls and Do You Hear What I Hear, supplanting the traditional lyrics with words about Black Friday shopping. In one spot, dubbed "Let's Go Together," they carol around unsuspecting high-schoolers who are texting on their cellphones.
