Watch the Newest Ads on TV From Samsung, McDonald's, Target and More

Every weekday, we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, the real-time TV ad measurement company with attention and conversion analytics from more than seven million smart TVs. The ads here ran on national TV for the first time yesterday.

A few highlights: McDonald's wants everyone to know the McRib sandwich is back—especially one woman who recently tweeted about it (wondering when it would be back). Target promotes a sale it's having on "Thanksgiving prep essentials" with a little help from the Minions and Poppy from "Trolls." And Samsung hypes its QLED TV as the perfect screen for Xbox One X games.
