Review of Steve Pencil

I love this spot, but it reminds me way too much of what it's really like. My printer broke down in my office, and we couldn't aford to spend $75 on a new one, so I'm using something from the early '90s that was in the attic.

I wish this pledge spot was longer. Very funny stuff! Check out the other pledge spots from WCAI / WNAN, too.

Review of Steve Pencil

This is a very cute idea for a fundraising advertisement. The idea of saving money by not stapling as much as usual or buying pencils without erasers was very funny. I like the way it catches your attention by being serious in tone, as if someone is really contemplating asking people to stop stapling things so much. It had a very "Office Space" kind of feel to it and I love that movie for being so true to life yet being a funny take on reality. This piece is on the edge of reality, almost real yet still being facetious. Clever, and engaging. I'd like to hear something like this on the radio during a pledge break. Especially because pledge breaks can be so boring and this isn't boring.
