    The Slowskys

    In 2006 the world met Bill and Karolyn Slowsky—two turtles obsessed with DSL Internet because of its slow, slow speeds.

    The Slowskys made it clear then that they wanted nothing to do with Comcast’s high-speed Internet or anything remotely fast. When their son, Bill Junior, was born, they even taught him that “fast” was a four-letter word.

    Well, now in 2019, everyone’s favorite spokes-turtle family is back, and this time they’re calling out Xfinity’s revamped customer experience. It’s fast. It’s easy. You can troubleshoot issues yourself. So you know Bill and Karolyn don’t like it. But their grown-up Millennial son, Bill Junior, couldn’t be a bigger fan. In fact, he’s an Xfinity customer.  

    In the new Xfinity Slowskys campaign, which launched on National Turtle Day, we witness Bill Junior embracing the fast lane, technology and life in the digital age. He constantly tries to convince his parents to switch to Xfinity to help make their lives easier. Spoiler alert: it won’t go well.

Rendezvous

  • Rendezvous

    The course of true love never did run smooth.

    It certainly doesn’t in this spot from Xfinity.

    The 60-second TV commercial harks back to classic John Hughes movies and features the challenges of a wannabe Romeo sneaking into the bedroom window of his Juliet. But in a modern twist, our young teen is defeated by a vigilant father and his Xfinity xFi app that’s notified him when a new device has joined. 

    So a word of warning to future suitors- maybe leave your mobile phone in the car next time.

    Every parent fears the thought of their kids watching something they shouldn’t be watching.

    Xfinity Parental Controls were developed to prevent exactly that from happening.

    And in a new social video series the brand proves the point, as young kids from Xfinity households are asked to explain the plots of movies meant for more mature audiences. Movies like Silence of the Lambs50 Shades of Gray, and Saw II.

    There’s certainly enough content in the world that Parental Controls can keep out of tiny hands.

A Holiday Reunion

  • A Holiday Reunion

    Last year saw the busiest Thanksgiving ever—54.3 million Americans traveled to see family and friends.

    To celebrate this idea of reconnecting for the holidays, we brought two of the most iconic friends in film history back together—E.T. and Elliott—for Comcast NBCUniversal, Comcast/Xfinity and Sky TV. 

    In this holiday short-story film, E.T. returns to Earth and joins Elliott’s modern day family on their adventures—sledding, scarfing down cupcakes and discovering all the technology that’s changed since E.T.’s first visit 37 years ago.

    Directed by Lance Acord and edited by two-time Oscar winner Kirk Baxter, the film features over 30 Easter eggs in the form of props, wardrobe references and callbacks to iconic moments for E.T. fans to discover each time they watch it. A number of these Easter eggs were custom-created by social influencers who then shared the project with their own fans.
