In 2020, working from home became the new norm. And the ability to stay connected virtually allowed us to pull off what was previously unimaginable.

And pulling off the unimaginable takes center stage in our holiday campaign for client Xfinity. Titled “The Greatest Gift,” this short film starring Steve Carell and directed by MJZ’s Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya and Disney’s forthcoming Cruella)—finds Santa Claus summoning his merry band of North Pole elves. Given the rough year 2020 has been, a sleep addled, stress-eating Santa says the usual toys and gifts just aren’t going to cut it. The elves will have to come up with something bigger and better. After an initial panic, the elves soon realize there’s one thing everyone truly needs in this most unusual year: a little more togetherness.

What's it like having Xfinity Internet? We asked regular-guy Hollywood superstar Ed Helms, who through a series of absurd metaphors describes just how fast, powerful and secure it truly is.

Whether he's riding a cheetah, firing space lasers, supplying Internet to hundreds of WiFi-loving clones or getting security tips from a former heavyweight champ, Ed Helms is able to become the Ed Ed wants Ed to be thanks to Internet that's made to do anything, so you can do anything.

“It’s not that bad.” We’ve all said it before. About some unfortunate situation it was too late to extract ourselves from. But we grin and bear it. That insight drives the latest campaign for Xfinity. “Not that bad” shows consumers who’ve chosen to live without home internet—and how they suffer for it. Not just technologically. But metaphorically, and to humorous effects. Directed by Spencer Riviera of O-Positive, “Bear Trap” and “Hornets Nest” show the literal pain points of making do in less than ideal circumstances, when a simple change could make everything all the better. Because living without home internet? It really IS that bad. Additionally, in time for the campaign’s Halloween launch, we created a playlist of the frustrated screams of some people who’ve chosen to live without home internet. Titled Xfinity Halloween Screams, the YouTube and Spotify playlists are available to stream for any Halloween party or trick or treat parade… if you dare.
