iPhone 11 - Gordon Ramsey

DIR: Adam & Dave CW: Craig Ghiglione AD: Daniel Shapiro

The “cocktail stick” thing was totally improvised by Gordon (we called in a line about toothpicks), and to our surprise it became a bit of a thing on twitter.

Also, you may wonder, since we paid all that money for Gordon Ramsey, why didn’t we do a bleeped end joke. We did two of them in fact.

DIRECTV DSL - “Mike’s World”

DIR: Barton Landsman CW: Me AD: Jaqueline Christie

A trip back in time to the DSL wars, and when Deutsch had DIRECTV.

Fun to watch for its early jokes about online behavior,

and also because Aaron Paul is in it, way before Breaking Bad.

 
 
 

DIRECTV - “Ice Cream Truck”

DIR: Chris Hooper CW: Me AD: Ebby St Pierre

More nostalgia. My first spot at Deutsch in LA.

This goes to show there are no goodbyes in advertising.

Here I am in 2019, working on DIRECTV like I was in 2001.

Also, there’s PJ Byrne, who we know now from Rampage and Big Little Lies.
