Depressed Smart Device Ads

Pringles' Super Bowl Ad Features a Depressed Alexa

In its latest teaser for its upcoming Super Bowl ad, Pringles hypothesizes what smart home devices would be upset about if they became sentiment, arriving at the conclusion that the most devastating reality would be the fact that these devices will never taste Pringles.

The short, six-second clip features a depressed-sounding Alexa. The device is placed on a table next to a can of Pringles, some of these chips are out of the can, right next to the device. An emotional soundtrack accompanies the ad, as Alexa is heard saying "Do I dream of Pringles? I don't dream."

The clever teaser trailer is prepping consumers for the full-length commercial, which will air at the 2019 Super Bowl.
