FedEx Prevents Airport Security From Sleeping on the Job

BBDO is out with some new work for FedEx. Four commercials highlight…wait a minute. What the hell is there to explain about FedEx that everyone doesn’t already know? Nothing. Why does the brand still advertise? We have no idea. Oh wait, yea, we do. Because people are so fickle that if you don’t slap them upside the head with your message 3,000 times a day, they’ll defect to your competition.

Now that we have that out of the way, our favorite spot is called Airport Security. While the PowerPoint joke has been done to death, this one still gets a laugh. “I’m yawning. I’m still yawning. ZZZZZ.” Hey, it’s pretty basic but, much like a fart joke, some things just stay funny.
