Hey Brands: Let's Maybe Give Einstein A Rest.

Mr. E=mc2 (and his tongue) is the most overused and abused historical figure in advertising history. Please STAHP.

The first bad Einstein ad of 2023 (there will be more) is Paul Giamatti’s cringy impersonation of the theoretical physicist (oy that accent) For Verizon. When Paul screams “BRILLIANT” Einstein’s skull power puked into the roof of his coffin.

Giamatti’s Einstein is even worse than his Scrooge.

This is just the latest in a very long line of bad Einstein ads. Believe me, below is just a tiny sampling—Substack has a hard article length limit.
