The New Face of AARP

Just when you thought Betty White had done everything! First, the Golden Girls, then starring in a Super Bowl commercial for Snickers, followed by a successful campaign to host SNL, now the official spokesperson for the AARP. Yup, you heard that correctly, Betty was the host of SNL in 2010. Just kidding, you already knew that or at least you should have known that. Nope the news here is that she has now landed a job with the one organization that she has probably already been a member of for the past 39 years.

The creative minds over at GSD&M in Austin, TX, snagged Betty White to front AARP's new campaign telling our seniors to "get over it" and join the retirement organization, even though it might make them feel old. In these two spots, Betty shows seniors how you can be old and still get the most out of life. Take a look and see. And for those of you 50 and over, feel free to join Betty and become a member of the AARP.



If you enjoyed that spot, take a gander at the other spot after the jump.....

Hey Losers!

Snickers and BBDO New York are at it again! This time Joe Pesci and Don Rickles team up for the latest installment of the "You're not you when you're hungry" themed commercials. Just like everyone of his acting roles, Joe Pesci portrays an irritable hothead in this spot. If you don't believe me, take a look and see.

How a Focus Group should be Done

Who would have ever thought, sharks were such great focus group participants. Who knew they had the ability to detect the difference in taste between someone that just finished the new Snickers Peanut Butter Squared and someone that didn't. News to me!

Just remember, eat both squares, please!
