Ep 41: Advertising in the Y2K Age

from Talks in Class · host Jenna Barclay

This week we're talking about iconic advertising from the '90s and Y2K era that became an important part of popular culture in itself. From the Budweiser WASSSUPP commercials that were quoted for years, to GAP Khakis commercials igniting a swing craze nationwide, to scandalous innuendo campaigns from brands like Herbal Essences and Candie's, '90s advertising was definitely memorable. Jenna talks about some of her favorite ads, the impact advertising had on pop culture in the days of a monoculture, and why these ad campaigns worked so well.
