Celeb ads normally don’t make the “Top Spot” cut but we made an exception for this self deprecating homage to ego featuring real estate magnate/primetime series star Donald Trump.
Just when you thought one Trump was more than enough, another one emerges–as impersonated by Saturday Night Live comedian Darrell Hammond.
We open on the real Trump seated at his desk, perplexed and perturbed that his package of Golden Double Stuf Oreo cookies is empty.
“Where are my Golden Double Stuf cookies?” he bellows.
“Right where they belong,” responds Hammond who emerges as a second Trump.
Hammond carries to the desk a cookie jar that’s a bust of Trump–thus bringing three not-so-fair-haired heads into the picture. The jar is full to the brim with Oreo Double Stuf cookies.
“That’s terrific,” extols Trump.
“It is,” affirms Hammond.
“I really like it,” says Trump.
“I do too,” deadpans Hammond.
A super proclaims, “The Donalds have arrived,” meaning there’s more to come as “double Trumps” will grace other Golden Double Stuf Oreo spots, including one where there’s a cookie mascot sporting Trump’s golden locks.
In another spot, we even see the twin Trumps challenging NFL quarterbacks/brothers Eli and Peyton Manning to an Oreo lick-off contest for ownership of the fictitious Double Stuf Racing League.
The package of spots was directed by Peter Berg of Pony Show Entertainment, Los Angeles, for Draftfcb, New York.
The Draftfcb team included executive creative directors Sandy Greenberg and Terri Meyer, senior art director Todd Eisner, senior copywriter Greg Wikoff, head of broadcast production Paddy Giordano and assistant producer Jennifer Glendining.
Susan Kirson and Jeffrey Frankel exec produced for Pony Show with Fern Martin serving as producer and Kathy Hofmann as production supervisor. The DP was Tobias Schliessler.
Editor was Chris Franklin of Big Sky, New York.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
