Ask.com Puts a Face on the ‘Nagging Question’

ask-nagging-question.jpg

Giving the New and Improved! Ask.com a promotional kick, Hanft Raboy & Partners personified the nagging questions that sit fussing in the back of our heads — or, in this case, on our shoulders.

Watch as an elephantine nag weighs down an inquisitive 8th-grade boy. Here, a cop contemplates where to meet cool girls. And in our favourite spot, a pregnant woman wonders, “Can I eat eggs, clams and crab legs?” — through an elderly Indian man.

Each question-asker accentuates its host’s musings in a slightly tone-deaf way, imbuing the spots with quirky charm. And the tagline ensures we know exactly what each shoulder-bound burden represents: “Get the best answers to all your nagging questions.”
