AdWeek: Homer Simpson Buys YouTube Ads for His Small Business, Mr. Plow
In a rare collaboration, YouTube is rolling out a new commercial starring the characters from The Simpsons, in which Homer is seen using YouTube video ads to boost his snow-plow business, Mr. Plow.
Not surprising they are effectively producing a new ending for the Mr Plow episode. That episode was shaping up as one of the best Simpsons episodes until the point “God” intervened and the whole thing ran off the rails. I don’t know whether Matt Groening was trying to be quirky but he ruined the whole episode with that ending.
The Simpsons are so 1990s. You would think YouTube would have some content more up-to-date and relevant to use.
@Viewer – Who do you think is buying youtube ads? 90s kids.
