Here’s an extended version of the American Express Travel ad that aired during the Emmy Pre-Show. In it, Martin Scorsese gives Tina Fey the hard sell on Boca Raton. It’s the kind of thing we might characterize as funny, even if we didn’t really watch it, just because it involves an awkward timeshare situation and Scorsese prattling — almost, it seems, without end.
“There’s a possibility of nine days — not consecutive — near the end of August, beginning of September.” I like how he asks her to make the check out to “Cash.”

Take note, CP+B: In the realm of advertising, Scorsese’s like the Seinfeld for a live-in-HD, less corny generation. His AmEx work aside, see what he did for Freixenet last year. (Seinfeld occasionally still does work for AmEx too, but it’s all got a datedness to it.)
