Ace Hardware helps Dads

Another Father and Son ad comes from Ace Hardware, courtesy of Goodby Silverstein and Partners.

The ad begins with a boy and a man playing basketball on a driveway. All of a sudden the roller door of the garage opens and a second man, covered in paint, emerges to ask the basketball-player, “Who are you?” The player’s response: “Brad, from the Sons Without Dads Organization.” The kids sneaks out of the picture. But the truth is out. Apparently, Dad has been too busy with projects to spend time with his kid. At this point we cut into another guy in the driveway, dressed in a red vest. “Ace is the helpful place. Come in. We’ll show you how it’s done.”

The ad was released in early 2003 on North American screens but is not being shown online because the contract with the actors does not allow it.
