Kenny Herzog of O Positive directed this spot reminiscent of the iconic Family Feud TV program, associated with dueling families and its catch phrase, “Survey Says!” However the game puts us in some awkward situations including when a guy proposes to a woman who defers to the game board for an answer. She utters in game show emcee fashion, “Survey Says!” and we then see the Family Feud big board which issues a resounding reject buzz sound signifying “No.”
The second strike on the big board comes when a man asks his boss for a raise.
But the third strike is averted when a woman being shown an apartment by a realtor correctly identifies the off-camera pest as a cockroach. The board sounds off, signifying a win, segueing to the new NY Lottery “Family Feud” March Scratch Off Game.

Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?
DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."
That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
