Dear E*Trade, Your Babies Are Getting Tired

Yes, the E*Trade babies are back. Well, it’s a different baby this year because, you know, babies grow and last year’s baby isn’t a baby anymore. Two new ads will debut during two NFL playoff games on Saturday, January 16 — the first during the NFC divisional playoffs on FOX at 4:30pm ET, and the second during the AFC divisional playoff game on CBS at 8:00pm ET. A third “Talking Baby” advertisement will debut on CBS during Super Bowl at approximately 6:28pm ET.

You can check out the two commercials here. Sadly, there’s nothing special about these commercials. The shtick is getting old. Even the babies “shocked face” is lame. The creators could of as leave had a little more fun morphing the little guys face into something that actually resembled shock. Hopefully, the Super Bowl version of this campaign is an improvement.
