  • From Bonanza to Batman: When Fictional Characters Endorse Real Products

    From Bonanza to Batman: When Fictional Characters Endorse Real Products
    Jan 11 2025

    In our first episode of 2025, we explore a strange aspect of advertising.


    Specifically, when TV and movie characters endorse products. Not the actors themselves - but the characters they portray.


    It's a trend that started in the early '60s with the Andy Griffith Show and Bonanza.


    Today, it includes characters like Breaking Bad's Walter White and even Phil Dunphy from Modern Family.


    Sometimes it's funny - and sometimes it bends the time/space continuum.

    Another one of our favourite episodes from our sister podcast We Regret To Inform You: The Rejection Podcast and just in time for the holiday, is the rejection story of the movie Elf. This beloved and timeless Christmas classic, starring Will Ferrell brought in over $200M at the box office. But, back in 2000 the script was rejected by production companies, studios, directors and actors.
