Redbox Radio ads: The Good Stuff


The Good Stuff

SFX: A door opening up, a jingle of keys, the door shuts, the keys land on the table.

Marcy: Dave? Is that you?

Son: (In another room) Daddy!

Dave: (In the other room with the SON ) Hey, buddy. Hey, Marcy I stopped for a few things on the way home.

SFX: A powerful minor chord on the piano, followed by an ominous, repetitive melody throughout the FEMALE ANNOUNCER’S monologue; it continues until it crescendos and then abruptly stops at the end of the monologue

Female Announcer: Marcy’s heart begins to race as he turns the corner into the
kitchen. As he unpacks the bag, the tension is almost unbearable. ‘Does he have the stuff?’ she wonders. ‘Did he bring home the good stuff? The stuff that that will bring the peace, the quiet, the calm; the stuff that will let me escape, if only for a couple of hours?’

Husband: And last but not least, for my favorite boy: The Super-Ranger-Action-Team movie!

Son: YES! Thanks Dad! (SFX: padding of little feet on the tile floor, running away)

Female Announcer: Yes, Dave brought the good stuff. He stopped at a Redbox video vending machine, conveniently located outside his local grocery story and brought home a couple hours of relative peace and quiet. All for only a dollar. That Dave is an alright guy. Hey Marcy...

Marcy: Uh, yeah?

Female Announcer: Maybe Dave deserves the good stuff.

Marcy: (A knowing smile in her voice) Maybe he does.

Male VO: Redbox. Bring home the good stuff.
