E-Trade’s talking babies returned to the Super Bowl in 2010 for a love triangle (punchline: “Milka-whaat?”) and a pile of tears over expensive brokers. The campaign was developed enough by that year that such scenarios came easily, and "Girlfriend" placed in the top 10 of USA Today's Super Bowl Ad Meter, but the so-easy-a-baby-can-do-it premise was receding at the same time.
The E-Trade baby spots would return in Super Bowl XLV ("Cat," "Tailor").
