TurboTax has created a trio of ads encouraging people to do their own tax returns, because no one knows you better than yourself, right? The spots each have a Mardi Gras theme. In "Mardi Gras," people live through events with catastrophic consequences: One employee is fired when she's found drunk and riding a float. A woman chokes on an engagement ring her boyfriend slipped into a glass of champagne. The coughed-up ring falls inside a tuba, where a man chokes and takes his entire band down with him. See it here. "Mardi Gras Statues" is happier, with a pair of city statues falling in love. Watch it here. The final ad, "Mardi Gras Loud Noise," features a man needing medical attention while on vacation. His left ear will never be the same. See it here. Wieden+Kennedy Portland created the campaign.
