Old Icons Meet New Ones in Primetime Emmy Campaign

Emmys-Fashion-Icons-Ad.jpg

When you’ve got nostalgia on your side, you’d be damn silly not to take advantage.

Bowing to this philosophy, WONGDOODY is promoting the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards by compiling collages of popular TV characters from the last 60 years. See banner ads, a ginormous collage (tagline: “one night. everything you love about tv.”) and a fun bus wrap (“Everybody on TV is going. Are you?”). It’s so Universal Studios!

The campaign, “Where TV Comes Together,” will run until the broadcast of the 60th Primetime Emmys, which airs Sunday Sept. 21 at 8pm EST.

In the meantime, it should guarantee some good clean time-wasting fun. Use the ads to play a makeshift version of Where’s Waldo?, except with Captain Kirk and Miss Piggy instead of a stripey-shirt dude you don’t even know.

Research suggests adults who received minimal affection as children often become one of two things — either the most physically affectionate person in any room, overcompensating with a warmth they’re terrified of withholding, or the most physically reserved, maintaining a distance they don’t want but can’t override — and both responses are survival adaptations to the same wound, and neither one feels natural because neither one is, they’re both translations of an experience that was never given its original language

Psychology says people who grew up with very little affection don’t become cold — they become hyper-competent, because when love isn’t freely given, achievement becomes the only language they know for earning value

Neuroscience reveals that people who genuinely enjoy repetitive routines have a different relationship with dopamine than novelty seekers. Their brains have learned to extract reward from depth rather than breadth, finding layers in the familiar that the restless mind skips over entirely
