Saatchi Follows Wendy’s ‘Kicking Trees’ Spot With ‘Hole’

We’ve got our hands on Saatchi & Saatchi’s follow up to their Kicking Trees commercial for Wendy’s which aired during the American Idol finale. This one’s called Hole and it’s a gleeful expression of the lemming-like acceptance people apparently have for McDonald’s and Burger King’s practice of leaving their burgers sitting in the window as opposed to Wendy’s which, according to red pigtail guy, come sizzling off the grill.

The ad, reminiscent of Carlton Draught’s Big Ad, hoards of people mindlessly race toward a big black whole in the ground until red pigtail guy rallies the troops against acceptance of window burgers in favor of Wendy’s sizzling burgers. Theater goers will see this ad first when it debuts July 27.

While we do like this new work from Saatchi, we had to watch it a few times to fully focus on the central message of the spot. After all, with all those “whoa what was that?” big, bouncing breasts shots the director “casually” placed in many of the commercial’s frames, red pigtail guy had to wait a while for our full attention.

The generation that was never allowed to be tired, never allowed to be lost, never allowed to need anything from anyone is now sitting in quiet houses in their late 60s and 70s wondering why a lifetime of being needed by everyone left them feeling known by no one

The real reason your aging father who never expressed emotion in sixty years of marriage openly weeps when the family dog dies isn’t sentimentality. The dog was the one relationship where he was allowed to be soft without it being questioned, and the grief isn’t just about the animal, it’s about losing the only door he ever found for the feelings he was raised to lock away

My daughter described her childhood to a friend last week and I overheard it from the next room—and the mother she described wasn’t cruel or cold, she was just less present than I remember being, less patient than I thought I was, and less fun than I tried to be—and the distance between the mother I performed and the mother she received is a gap I can hear but never close because her version is the only one that counts

Psychology says the people who check on everyone but are never checked on aren’t stronger than everyone else. They just learned very early that their pain made other people uncomfortable, so they stopped presenting it.

Psychologists explain that married people who feel lonely rarely lack companionship. They lack witness. Someone is in the house, someone is at the table, but no one is tracking the interior life happening behind their eyes, and that specific absence registers as invisibility, not solitude
