Summary

This week, it’s our annual Brand Envy episode, where I tip my hat to great ideas that have lasted for years.

We’ll talk about a very funny character who has made the world laugh without uttering a single word.

An idea that was born on the side of highways.

And we’ll talk about a movie that has had the longest run in cinema history.
