For client Little Debbie, Marcos Ambrose joins forces with a talking koala. They’re so cute together, it’s oddly gratifying to see them draw housewives’ attention at the supermarket or co-pilot a race while koala eats Zebra Cakes.

“I thought you only ate eucalyptus leaves?” Ambrose demands, slightly miffed, right before he peels out onto the track.

Collective awwwwwwwww. Don’t you just want to rub their tummies and feed them a Devil Square?

The spots went live in tandem with racing season. So far Ambrose isn’t doing too terribly, no thanks to his choice of snack food, but a talking marsupial riding shotgun (think of the crumbs!) probably keeps things interesting.

See more of their routine on Little Debbie’s Miles of Smiles website, put together by Luckie & Co., which also did the creative.

I followed every rule — worked hard, saved carefully, planned for the future — and when the future arrived, I sat in it and felt robbed of something I couldn’t quite name

I’m 70 and I just realized the reason I feel lonely isn’t because I’m alone — it’s because I’ve been surrounded by people my whole life who loved the role I played but never actually wanted to know the person underneath it
