Because we haven’t yet covered every single ad that aired during the Super Bowl, here’s one from TDA_Boulder that (almost) plays on the same theme as a certain short-lived campaign by Barton F. Graf 9000.
In order to promote the client’s Person to Person Transfers service, the first spot illustrates what might happen if one relies on the creaky old ATM:
Joking about puppies being sold as quickly as possible? How dare they!
No one in “the media” compared the two campaigns because this one was regional, airing during the pre-game in Arizona and the first quarter in Colorado. Unlike the GoDaddy spot, this one also included a post-game follow-up for those with a tendency to get offended at anything/everything:
Maybe the joke was simply more obvious and less risque in this case, but those Golden Retrievers do look pure enough to have come from…a puppy mill!
The eerily prescient press release reads, “For those Super Bowl viewers who might not appreciate unhappy endings to their Super Bowl spots, a follow-up will run later that night…”
Part two aired during Jimmy Fallon in Colorado and NBC’s NFL News Special in Arizona.
