EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF

DOCTOR SNAGGLETOOTH'S

BACON FLAVORED DENTAL CREAM.

Hi, folks! It's me,

Chief Petting Officer
Toto Moto, the jolly
Shady's Place mascot

and your hound of

sound on S-P-M-M

Retrosonic Radio!

And I'm

Brian Griffin

from Family Guy...

another member of

The Shady Bunch

deejay staff.

Toto and I are poking our snouts in to let

you know that Shady's move went well.

Starting today he is easing back into

blogging and will visit you soon.

And with Valentine's Day fast
approaching... me and my
bowwow buddy Brian are

gonna throw you a bone
and bark the praises of our
favorite television commercial.
It's number one with a bullet,
the hottest spot in the land, the
most popular and talked about
commercial of 2020. It's the
one produced for the travel tech
company Expedia to advertise
their Expedia App. The tagline
reads: “Everything Your Trip
Needs for Everyone You Love.”

The commercial's catchy
jingle introduces to a
brand new and much
younger audience of TV
viewers an oldie but goody
entitled (I don't know why)
"But I Do," a top 5 charting
single released in 1961 by
R&B singer Clarence

"Frogman" Henry.
Check it out!

I don't know about you, Toto, but I could almost

hear the oohs and aahs of viewers all over the

country when it showed a closeup of that cute

Whippet gazing at his human mommy as she

soaked in a bubble bath and used

the Expedia App on her phone

to browse pet friendly vacation rentals

for an upcoming family trip.

Just call me snoopy, Brian,

but I did some digging and

found lots of people on

social media reacting to

Expedia's "Pet Friendly"

commercial. Many of

them think the spot is

supercalifragilistic-

Expedialidocious.

Just look are some

of their comments!

"I ❤ this commercial!"

"Love the song."

"Who is the actress? Love that song too."

(TOTO MOTO: She's Toronto-based actress Erica Levene.)

"The Whippet has such a cute little mug-- sold me on Expedia!"

"Love this commerical, the actress, dog and song.
Short and to the point, well done Expedia!"

"I love your commercial, the clumsy husband, the dog just is the high point!"

"Such a cute commercial, love the dog the most!"

"Love the song, the lady in the bath, and the dog, just perfect."

"I love this commercial: the song, whole family and the dog. Also I love Expedia!"

"My most fav advert where the lady and dog look at each other with so much love."

"She rocks! This is quite literally the best commercial I have seen in a while."

"I love this commercial. It is the ONLY one I will stop and listen to.

The look on the Black ladies face, her boy in the car and the last

look between the lady and the dog is precious. What ever

ad firm produced this should get an award."

(BRIAN: Credit for the spot goes to Razorfish Digital Agency and 180LA,
a creative boutique under the Wunderman Advertising umbrella.)

"This ad just grows on you: the kids, the dad, the mom, the dog

and the frogman song. Stuck in my head for weeks now.

Don't know why I love it, but I do. :( "

"I lovvvvveeeee that dog!!!!!"

"More of this whippet please!!!"

Hey Brian, all that

puppy love reminds me

of another great old

song - "Whippet!"

Now Whippet

Into shape

Shape it up

Get straight

Go forward

Move ahead

Try to detect it

It's not too late

To Whippet

Whippet good

Whippet good and, we hope you folks agree,

that Expedia commercial is, as Tony the

Tiger would say..."Gr-r-reat!"

Now for my K-9 kuzzin

Toto Moto, this is your

pal Brian Griffin saying

so long and see you soon.

To play us off, here again is

Clarence "Frogman" Henry,

who will be 83 next month.

I'm sure he's happy to be

making new fans thanks

to that warm and fuzzy commercial. Bye-bye!
