THE SPOTS
Two :30 branding commercials—"Frogs" and "Short & Bald"—feature black-and-white footage of subtle ways parents’ lives change after a child is born. In "Frogs," a dad coaxes his young son to touch a frog, as the voiceover points out: "There was a time when poker night was what you looked forward to all week. So who would have thought that boy’s night out wouldn’t hold a candle to boy’s night in?." "Short & Bald" shows a mom giving a baby a bath in a sink, as the voiceover points out: "You always went for the tall, dark, handsome types. So who’d ever thought the love of your life would be short and bald?" Both ads conclude with the tagline, "Having a baby changes everything."
