AdFreakFace-Swapped, Filtered and Memed: Xfinity’s New Ad Families Are the Internet IncarnateGS&P created a truly odd roster of relativesBy David Griner|May 31, 2018 ShareBy David Griner|May 31, 2018 ShareIt’s been more than a decade since Goodby Silverstein & Partners introduced us to The Slowskys, a family of spokesturtles who were just fine without Comcast’s ultra-fast internet, thank you very much.Since then, Comcast’s internet offering has rebranded as Xfinity, but there’s still room for odd families in the service’s marketing. This week, GS&P debuted three new, internet-embedded families who’ll anchor a campaign of short-form video ads.The most unnerving group is The Swapsons, who’ve all been face-swapped. The baby-mom and dog-dad make for especially bizarre combinations. Then there are The Filtertons, who live life through a lens a la Spanchat or Instagram. But unlike The Swapsons, at least they get to change their looks from time to time. Finally we’ve got The Memesteins, who may not be digitally altered monstrosities, yet seem like the Xfinity family you’d least like to spend time with.
