Ad of the Week: Walmart – Younger Skin

By May 25, 2011Ad of the week

Walmart anti aging cream ad younger skin Who doesn't love two little girls completely plastering their sleeping grandfather's head with beauty cream? That's the very funny conclusion of the latest spot for Walmart.

Last week, we talked about the resurgance of storytelling in advertising with the complex and legendary stories Jamison's Whiskey tells. This week's ad is storytelling of a different kind. It's a simple story of everyday life that we all can relate to. Young kids sometimes take the things we tell them very literally. And the results are often unintentionally hilarious.

In this case, two young girls are watching their mom put on some anti-aging cream. they ask her what it's for. She tells them that it makes her look younger and they ask if it really works. The mom says yes. Cut to the two girls slathering grandpa's head with a thick coat of the stuff while he sleeps on the couch. It's a very funny scene and the girls pull it off deftly. Enjoy.
