Aldi unleashes a tunavalanche

Our pal Ad Nut can resist neither wordplay nor the brand's ongoing string of fun commercials.

Yep, Ad Nut is sharing the above TVC partly because it allowed Ad Nut to use the fishy portmanteau in this post's headline.

That said, Ad Nut's inability to resist things is not limited to clever wordplay. Ad Nut also cannot seem to resist writing about ads by BMF for Aldi.  

This agency-client pair is approaching Nike/W+K levels of effectiveness. Yes, it's on a smaller scale. And whereas Nike does bigly inspiration, Aldi does chuckles. But Ad Nut is honestly hard-pressed to think of many working partnerships that deliver as consistently. You can count on BMF's work for the grocery chain being not only fun but also strategically sound.

Pointless bonus material: The tunavalanche reminds Ad Nut of this favorite scene from Steve Martin's underappreciated work of genius, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
