    Not for Bears

    Introduce one character Pest at a time. One at a time they all run at the door and try to knock it down. All pests are humans in full costume - spider, ant, bee, mouse. We show their attempted assault and fall downs in slo-mo. Eventually, they are all sprawled out on the ground. Guy yells out of window - Great Stuff protects my house from everything! Music changes, and Bear character arrives. He charges and crashes through the door. He stands on guy. GREAT STUFF - Not for bears.

    Bugging Out

    A man slowly starts to lose control of his faculties as more and more bugs enter his house and annoy him during his daily routines. To an outsider, it appears his losing his mind, swatting and yelling at imaginary objects..but his intuitive wife understands the answer to his problems; Great Stuff. She seals the house and the next day, the Man awakens to a peaceful house. He's beat up from slapping himself, but he can finally breath easy. -Can possibly be set to "Flight of The Bumblebee".

    The Great Stuff War

    This would be animated in stop-motion by Jen Ruiz, with fun, high-energy music. The commercial follows an army of cartoony, talking ants convinced that they can get past the Great Stuff seal, led by a general ant. Their attempts start small: All push at once, or try to lift the seal. They try to eat through it and it's gross tasting. Then it gets cartoony: they use log rams, catapults, and ant-sized chainsaws. But no matter what, the home is safe. Show product demo. "That's the Great Stuff"

    Pestering Apologies

    These pests are broken hearted. They never realized what they had until it was gone. And now they're willing to do whatever it takes to win back your heart (or at least a way back into your homes). Think John Cusack with the boombox over his head--nostalgia with a hefty tablespoon of comical romance. I'm going to combine stop motion-animation with after effects compositing to create charming stylized pests whose puffy eyes beg for your forgiveness. You almost feel for them. Key word: almost.
