Bodega Clerk Plays Sage in Series of TBWA LA Spots for Miller Lite

Just two months after launching its “Wonderful World” anthem ad for Miller Lite, TBWA/Chiat/Day Los Angeles returns with a bevy of spots for the brew brand that take place in the most ideal of locations: the convenience store. Helmed by Arts & Sciences director Matt Aselton and starring Eastbound & Down alum Marco Rodriguez–who’ll still always be the “supermarket killer” from Stallone’s classic Cobra to us–the campaign introduces us to a variety of quirky characters whose evening is officially set with a six-pack of Miller Lite and a bit of inspiration from Rodriguez’s bodega clerk.

Whether they be the chardonnay party crasher, muscular like-minded twins, the karaoke enthusiast or the “one-tripper,” Rodriguez is there to help throughout the eight (!) spots unveiled by TBWA/Chiat/Day LA, which of course took over as creative AOR for Miller Lite last fall. Considering the theme, scenarios and settings of this rather ambitious campaign, it should be familiar to the partygoer in all of us–though the choice of beer may vary.  You can check out the rest of the spots here.

Christopher Guest Returns in GSD&M’s Latest for PetSmart

Acclaimed director Christopher Guest returns with new ads for GSD&M’s “Partners in Pethood” campaign for PetSmart which, given the recent news that the company is taking its marketing in-house, may be the agency’s last for the brand.

Guest originally collaborated with GSD&M and PetSmart on two ads featuring humorously over-the-top dog owners which debuted during the Oscars. The new ads, which include the online spot “Nook and Crannies” (featured above) and “The Avant Guardians,” a 30-second broadcast spot cut from the same footage. This time around, Guest follows “fashion forward” dog owners, who talk about how the term applies to their dog as well. Guest’s trademark satire is evident as the couple makes ridiculous statements about how the dog’s fashion sense turns heads at the dog park and how there’s always an occasion to get dressed up, even when you’re going to sleep. “Nooks and Crannies” is also probably the only place you’ll hear a certain piece of dog anatomy referred to as “The Bat Cave.” If it is GSD&M’s last work for the brand, it makes for a fine swan song, and we can only hope PetSmart continues to partner with Guest after taking their advertising i-house (however unlikely that may be).
