Bill Hader of Saturday Night Live fame and his colleagues are wowed by “flavor stacking” of Pringles. They discover that stacking a pizza-flavored Pringles on top of a BBQ chip makes for BBQ pizza, which can then be spiced up by a jalapeño Pringles and so on.
It’s a tastebud-stimulating, mind-blowing “Wow” experience for all involved, created by Grey New York and directed by Rhys Thomas of Skunk.
Titled “Wow,” this spot marks the first ever for Pringles on the Super Bowl. It will debut on air during the Big Game on Feb. 4. “Wow” has already been posted online.

How do you top one of the most viral brand videos ever made? Spoiler alert: you can’t. But when Dollar Shave Club tapped Zack Seckler to direct a new campaign to revive the absurdist humor of its iconic launch video, he knew he had a rare opportunity to create something special.
The brief was simple: introduce the concept of a physical “Club” that people would love to join while showcasing Dollar Shave Club’s products and embracing the weird. From script to direction and post, Seckler--an alum of SHOOT’s 2021 New Directors Showcase--was invited to help sculpt that vision.
The result is this “Welcome to the Club” spot which invites us to join a unique, seemingly exclusive but in reality an accessible and affordable fraternity of Dollar Shave Club members. But you need to know the password or more accurately, the two-word phrase--"shave money."
“The Club” campaign brings the brand back to its humorous roots, reflecting a new chapter after being acquired by Nexus Capital Management from Unilever in late 2023. The work takes Dollar Shave Club back to its disruptive beginnings and what made the brand a viral sensation from its inception in 2011.
