There’s some pet product or other that shows pets and all of the “jobs” they do. Like, there’s a big dog holding a huge stick, and he’s “Branch manager”. And a little dog hanging off the end of the stick is “Assistant branch manager”. Granted, it’s easy for pet products to make cute commercials. But it’s still cute. ---

The overwhelming majority of youtube sponsor ad breaks have you reaching for the jump ahead button, but the ones on Map Men are different. They’re almost like mini-comedy sketches and are kind of enjoyable. For example, [here’s the latest one](https://youtu.be/3mQKM8tE8-E?si=yygnd5HPJxOxJnjD). ---

Subaru’s been on a dog kick lately. First it was a family of dogs in the car driving somewhere, then a neighborhood full of dog homeowners, and now it’s a giant golden retriever puppy playing with a car. I’m really not sure how that last one is supposed to make sense, but hey, golden retriever puppy, it can’t not be cute. ---

My favorite ad in that campaign was the Golden Retriever family stopping for hot dogs at the hot dog stand where all the Dachshunds were. The reproachful looks from the Dachshunds shamed them from eating their meal. It was just a darling ad. Good campaign. ---

The reproachful looks from the Dachshunds shamed them from eating their meal. Yes, when it was new we’d often rewind and rewatch it. So cute.
