ALLY Spots

Do any of you see the ALLY Bank spots? Not sure if they are national, however, the center character is a child. The guy in a suit offers something to the child such as a pony, bike, or toy truck. He then quickly takes it back citing "fine print". Of course the gist of the ad is that ALLY has no fine print. In the one ad that is classic, the guy in the suit gives a boy a toy truck and says "have fun with that truck". After a couple of seconds the guy takes the truck from the boy and gives the boy a cardboard cut out of a truck and says "it is a nice one, I made it myself". The look and next line by the young boy is priceless. The boy holds the cardboard truck as if, what the heck is this, and says "this is a piece of junk" and delivers the line superbly. Does anyone know the background of these spots and how in the world were these kids coached so well to really deliver solid looks and lines. The kid's lines couldn't have been scripted as they are so real and honest.

You must be referring to a local bank chain because unless there's a nationally known celebrity as the pitch-person - NO ONE outside of the Providence Metropolitan Area has a clue as to what you're even talking about.

I don't doubt you saw what you claim to have seen above, but if the chain isn't somehow a national chain, we have NO WAY of seeing it for ourselves if we live outside of the Providence Metropolitan Area.

I hate to say it, but them's just the facts Jack.....

Cheers :)
 
Ally spots run regularly and nationally on CNBC.
 
Well, I guess the FACTS are that the Ally bank spots are played in quite a few places besides Providence. I see them on the cable channels a lot here in Houston. I think those spots are quite effective.
