“Child of the ’90s” — a nostalgic, fun ad from Microsoft for IE.
Via email, one DF reader compared it to Don Draper’s epic “Carousel” pitch on Mad Men. I wouldn’t go that far — this isn’t that good — but in that pitch Draper describes nostalgia as “delicate, but potent”, and I think that does apply here. (Maybe I’m one decade too old for this to really hit home, though.)
