Surprise guest appearances?  Check!  Funny?  Check!  Self-deprecating?  Check!  Making a key point about the brand?  Check!!  (And that’s the one most of these ads overlook.)  Well played, Radio Shack.  And looking good, 80’s icons!

I Liked the Cute Older Couple in the Swiffer Commercials But I LOVE This New Couple

Posted on January 12, 2014 at 6:07 pm

The 90-year-old lovebirds Morty and Lee are adorable, but this new couple, the Rukavinas, is even more heartwarming.  Zack Rukavina is from South Dakota.  He lost part of his arm to cancer.  If he looks familiar, you may have seen him as a veteran in an episode of Switched at Birth. He has also appeared on Damages, Parenthood, Client List and others. He even proposed to his wife Afi on television.
