Is Chase the new Hallmark?

[Fantasmic303]

So I've come to the conclusion that Chase is the new Hallmark.

Why, you ask?

Well, have you SEEN their commercials?

Surely you've seen the one with the Five for Fighting song, 100 Years, where the couple's credit card changes as they age (Amazon to Continental to Disney to AARP, etc.) Yeah, I know you've seen it, and maybe you've thought it was sweet.

But NOW they've done it.

I just, for the first time, saw the (new?) ad, set to Wind Beneath My Wings. It's focused on the father and the daughter as they prepare for her wedding. It's a tearjerker.

Or maybe just any commercials that remind me of weddings and babies make me cry.

Don't even get me started on the Disney ones.....

Yeah, Hallmark is abandoning the tearjerker commercial concept (Hallmark employee here) for the cute/funny make you giggle commercials. Been a while since I've seen a preview for a tear jerker Hallmark commercial. I kind of miss them too. Glad to see Chase is picking up where we have dropped off.

GE and Kodak used to be good for a few tearjerkers but I haven't noticed that of late. I do enjoy the dancing elephant on the "GE ecomagination" commercials - he always gives me a giggle :

Ahhhh, yes...the dancing elephant. Always good for a chuckle.

Yeah, the Kodak ones used to do it to me too. Just like the pre-show for Honey I Shrunk the Audience. The old one I mean, that everyone loved before they changed it.


Ok, fine. Who am I kidding? I still get teary eyed watching the little boy get reunited with his dog in the new one. I guess you can add doggies to the list along side weddings and babies!!
