Chuck McBride Makes RayBans Cool Again

Now here’s an art director’s wet dream. Giving sunglasses far more cred than they deserve, Chuck McBride’s new agency, Cutwater, has turned the average pair of Ray Bans into some sort of cultural icon. Oh wait, they already earned that status so we guess it’s all good. Produced by HSI Productions and directed by Michael Haussman, the spot ends with the super, “Never Hide,” which, for a sunglasses commercial, is pretty twisted but exudes so much positivity.

Any commercial that tells us to “make up your fuckin’ mind fuckin’ make up your mind” is good in our book. This might not be saying much but we liked this commercial more and more with each viewing. Fans of frequency in the media department will love that notion. Give it a watch. It’s not your average sunglass commercial. Maybe Chuck’s stabbing video has, indeed, led to good things.
