Mastercard threw together a masterful spot, chock full of spokescartoons that we all recognize. Featured at dinner were: Charlie the Tuna, Count Chocula, the Vlasic pickle bird, Chef Boyardee, Pillsbury Dough Boy, Morton's Salt little girl, a fisherman (Gorton's or Mrs. Paul?), Mr. Peanut, the Green Giant (outside the window!) and maybe some more.
Charlie sums it all up with "I'm stuffed to the gills!" while bringing some dishes into the kitchen. Of course, we'll all remember the ad tomorrow, but will we remember that Mastercard was the brand?
1. I Loved this commercial. Who cares about brand saturation. What cuonts here is that the cartoon logos of some of your favorite products from today and your childhood are all together eating dinner in humanlike form. And who doesn't love Charlie Tuna and his accent? (Where does he sound like he's form anyway?...the Vlassic stork, too?)
