store commercials

This page is for stores for which I don't have a lot of ads. Lowes and Old Navy have their own pages.


Gap
A series of khaki ads from the late 90s: Swing, Country, A-Go-Go, Soul... and there were at least a couple others.


Ikea
A sad commercial about an old lamp... with a twist ending.


JCPenney
A playlist starting with ad featuring the song "Bluest Skies" by Jess Penner (but that got deleted); then a series of four ads from 2019 called "Remember the Little Things" (Scarf, Earrings, Blanket, Serving Dish). Aside from the playlist, there are a couple of ads I could only find on iSpot: an Easter ad from 2017; an ad from 2019 feating Katy Mixon (from American Housewife) and Leighton Meester (from Single Parents).



Radio Shack
"The phone call"


Target
Playlist: "don't cry milk"; "2001 Halloween"; "2009 Christmas"; "Domo Halloween"; "2nd Grade Teacher (Tania Gunadi)"; "Alouette (Delta Rhythm Boys)"; "My kind of holiday"; "Santa Catcher"; "Alice in Marshmallow Land"; "2015 Holiday (series)"; "Show Off Your Way" (featuring "Soy Yo" by Bomba Estéreo)"; 2016 Halloween (featuring "Diggy" by Spencer Ludwig); 2017 Halloween (I love when the vampire girl says "bite size").


Toys R Us
An ad that mixes scenes from a 1982 commercial (or commercials?), with the same actors (including Jenny Lewis) in 1996. I couldn't find it on YouTube, so here's a link to Retro Junk. And here's a 2015 video: "Like Father, Like Daughter."


True Value
This is an ad from 2003, with Santa, an elf (played by Danny Woodburn), an angel, and a snowman, all in a car together. What's driving me nuts is that the same year, there was a similar commercial, which I had thought was a car commercial... with such characters all getting into a car. I thought this was a continuation of that commercial, like the second in a series of ads. Maybe it was. But I can't find the previous ad anywhere, so I can't be sure. Still, I guess I should be grateful I've at least found this one (in 2013).


Walmart
A really great 2015 ad called "Star Wars: A New Generation Awakens" (on Vimeo). Then a YouTube playlist with Halloween ads from 2010 and 2011, a Star Wars ad from 2015, a couple more Halloween ads from 2016 ("Freaky Haunted House Party" and "Invisible Man"), one from 2018 called "Cars" (extended version), 2 Christmas ads from 2019 ("Holiday Rap Battle", "Walmart Nutcracker"), a 2020 ad called "Famous Visitors", a 2023 Black Friday ad/sequel to Mean Girls.
