Coneheads
Brady Bunch
I really like these two ads that invoke classic TV, the Bradu Bunch and the the Coneheads from Saturday Night Live.
They are both brilliant.
Casting Danny Trejo as Marsha and Steve Buscemi as Jan Brady is genius, and their seamless integration into an existing scene is magnificent.
Conversely, the Coneheads commercial splices seamlessly into the already well known “Jake, from State Farm” ad.
I cannot decide which is the better exemplar of the classic TV based advertisement form.
