D*nm it John. You need to start a virtual jar.
I’d fucking contribute.
Blimey dong thwap. My arsebiscuits are clunge-ing their wangdoodles across both spuff-trumpets
Funny ad!
But, does it make you want to use the product?
That’s what I was wondered during yesterday’s Superbowl ad breaks.
Ah, that video belongs in a spit lickin’ fracked up cream suckin’ son of a biscuit eatin’ jar full of bus wipin’ scum froggin’ sacks of bull vomit and pus buggin’ hooker toe jam wipin’ numb knuckle blog postin’ journalistic puke.
Darn, not one nickel for that one.
That f*cking made my day..

Doesn’t matter if you want to use the product or not.
Do you remember the product? If yes, then the marketing was a success.
Wow. I guess anyone who drinks Bud must be irreverent and edgy and cool.

#9–RBG–fight it all you want, but your own post shows the ad worked. (Haw, Haw!!)

I started my career working in an advertising agency and my mentors in the ad business thought differently than you.
What you believe is conventional wisdom but my agency thought this was scam that advertising people used to bilk industry out of millions of dollars!
I have to say, once I got my mind around their advertising philosophy, I haven’t been able to let it go.
I mean, there is no reason an ad can’t be BOTH funny and still sell the product. Yes, it takes more creativity but why not do both?
#11, Greg,
My thoughts too.
Years ago I asked our Marketing Manager why a certain French car tire company showed their product on very expensive German luxury cars speeding through very snowy mountain roads. He responded that I didn’t understand the ads because they weren’t trying to sell me their product.
Well bully, I already had that famous brand on my German built sports car. But I still slowed down when driving through snow.
I would think that if you are going to try to sell an upscale version of a mass market product, than use an upscale venue such as Golf Digest or Esquire.
So, what was this ad for again?
I guess if you watch any TV at all, you’re about ready to swear at this one:
Head On: APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD.
No mistaking the vendor in that one. No music, no acting, no punch line, but the commercial itself is enough to almost make you go buy the $&@#ing product so they’d just shut up.
Very effective.
I don’t fucking get it.
OMG… great.
Reminds me of my interview for my first real job. The guy sits me down and screams “Why do you want this f**king job?”. Every other word was a swear word.
I got the job. The executive didn’t last very long. I wonder what happened to him?
We need that at work.
