In 2014, Dissolve created an advertising video called The Generic Brand Video which generated significant publicity. Adweek referred to the video as Everything You Hate About Advertising in One Fake Video That's Almost Too Real. From Time (magazine): This 'Generic Brand Video' Parody Is About Nothing And Everything And Is, Thus, Perfection. Sequels to the video included The Generic Presidential Campaign Ad, which was described by the Washington Post as a 'completely honest presidential campaign ad is very funny and The Generic Millennial Ad', and Fast Company dubbed as 'This Generic Millennial Ad is Everything Wrong With Advertising To Young People'.
