With the economy today, many young adults are moving back in with their parents, but it does not mean they like it. ContagiousLA produced two TV spots for Apartments.com, that play on the challenges of sharing the same space with your parents.
Date Night Jeff Jenkins of ContagiousLA directed this spot about a guy who shows the world the worst thing one could possibly do at the end of a date. Everything seems to be going so well until his date realizes the least sexy attribute any man could possess; he lives with his parents… and they are sitting on the couch next to him. Need an Apartment?
Family Shower Andrew Laurich of ContagiousLA directed this spot showing the ugly side of being a young man and living at home with your parents. As if their singing wasn’t bad enough, Mom has borrowed his razor. Need an Apartment?
