Whoever did the new PayPal TV spot, well done! From the strategy all the way to the execution.

Clearly your strategy team did it. From the strategy all the way to the execution.

@SVP, D1 Bingo. Not to mention that the spot itself is literally actors reciting the brief to camera 🤦‍♂️

Watching Will Ferrell throw everything at the wall hoping he could plus it up was painful.

*No creatives were used in the writing of this ad

I know people are quick to grab the pitchforks in this bowl, but I enjoyed the spot. It was entertaining and it had me researching PayPal and this offer after watching it, so by that measure alone I would consider it a success

What a terrible take. “If you don’t like the thing I like, don’t comment”. If you’re looking for confirmation bias, just tell one of your employees. Don’t post about it on Fishbowl.

How does it connect to Chime Porch? Did Will buy all of the chimes? I keep seeing the chime spot and this is the first time I saw the longer spot.

I love how the teaser isn’t just a straight pull from the full spot. It’s much more like how teasers should work, by creating intrigue without giving too much away.

Yeah what a suspicious post. There’s nothing to see here.

Link?

It reminds me of the Chase something-something card with Kevin Hart. Forced shill-based comedy.

It’s basically the same model of a pharma ad. Get a popular song from decades ago and turn it into a jingle. Add Will Ferrell’s silliness for good measure. Not sure what’s so impressive about this.

I am genuinely curious if Will Ferrell is a prick. There’s something about his face in this spot that makes me think he is a monster. Also, I heard he was a prick on the set of Elf and tried to get Jon Favreau fired which is baffling to me.

Good job helping get views though. Every little bit counts.

Will is a lovely person! He’s high school friends with one of our close friends and couldn’t be nicer.

Has anyone dealt with coming to terms with an emotionally abusive relationship? I struggle to admit this (because more drastic examples come to mind), but my therapist mentioned that things like yelling/throwing things/blocking me from leaving the room are also abusive traits my ex demonstrated.
