Comm 406 Favorite Ad




Glove and Boots is a video blog that has mesmerized the audience of YouTube and gloveandboots.com with fun, witty, and downright hilarious skits since 2011. This video blog contains material performed by many handmade puppet, two of which are the stars of the show Mario and Fafa the groundhog. Since their arrival to the internet they have steadily gained fans and recognition leading to them getting nominated and eventually winning a Shorty award for best video blog. 


Shortly after their nomination for a shorty Mario and Fafa created an ad addressing their competition. Who was their competition? Justin Beiber’s DJ, whom of which had remained in the number one position for many weeks, that is, until Glove and Boots came out with an advertisement video announcing their nomination and urging their fans to help them dominate the competition and crush Justin Beiber’s DJ.

In the advertisement we see a spoof of a scene from a movie where many people of different backgrounds gather to hear Fafa’s words. With this add urging (And a small bribe promising they will sled down a mountain in a port-a-potty) their small group of YouTube junkie fans to spread the word on to their friends and vote they successfully gained 50,000 plus fans and quickly moved to first place.
