To promote the fusion of Comcast DVR with TiVo, Biscuit Filmworks USA and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners give us “Separated at Birth.”
It’s a love story about a pair of TVs that part at the assembly line and serve two people in two different ways. In the end, the owners — which start out as kids — grow up and get together. Just like their favourite TV services.
Almost too cute to stand. The split ad format keeps eyes bouncing back and forth, and a simple narrative prevents captive audiences from snapping out of it. We’ll even be willing to ignore the fact that TiVo hasn’t been around long enough to have served any twenty-something from her budding days as a grade school control freak.
