Adtalk


Anthony glared at Glenn when he suggested they watch Julia Child’s cooking program instead of the game.

Steve laughed in relief because this confirmed what he suspected; Glenn was not only gay he was responsible for the festive streamers on the coffee pot as well.

Something about working at Taco Bell has made this guy want to work out really really happy. He is back bending, doing lunges and jumping for joy all in outfits he most certainly could not afford on a Taco Bell employee salary. Dress shoes, designer jeans and a sweater vest? Really?
I have no idea why [...]

Ads are meant to inform. But this one? Leaves me with so many questions. First the copy:
“The worst thing you could take to bed when you’re feeling warm and cuddly are cold, lumpy headphones. You’d make out much better with Hear Muffs, the first headphones designed for comfort while lying down-in bed, on a couch, [...]

AdTalk: Curves ahead. Well ahead of the flesh

oc, blogger, top, mommy, blog, oc, orange, county,humor, vintage, ad, skinny

You heard it here first….
So take THAT all you skinny girls!
Of course the comedy of this ad lies in the fact that the drawn model is still pretty damn skinny.
“…add pounds and pounds of firm, attractive flesh to your figure…..”
Nothing like pounds of flesh to create a little glamour I always say.
Of course the added [...]

I think the brands name “Bloomers-n-Bows” is a bit misleading.
I would have gone with “Dismembered Dead Babies–N-Bows” myself.
And then maybe dropped the ‘bows’ part after the company went public.
You know, just to fit on the company stationary.

Come to think of it, I would give my right eye ball to see the tutorial on ‘many major [...]

Even though Susie was trying hard to fit in with the other housewives after she moved to The OC, she had a little problem letting go of her tomboy ways when it came to the fashion.

Yup, Mike-you really showed her.
Sleeping in your shirt and tie. Way to really drive home the whole “I am the the dominant one here” message. And I guess she really got the point.  Look at how  she is serving you and bowing down on her knees to show her respect for you and your manly [...]

Alice came to the party a little underdressed. But no one else seemed to mind.
She had no idea it was a turtle-neck, flood slacks and belt party. And she couldn’t understand why she was the only girl there.
And when she was feeling a little light headed after trying the punch all the nice fellas [...]

Actually ad copy reads..
Do the skate.
Skate right, clap hands
Skate left.
Shake shoulders, roll hands.
Skaters position, lean forward.
Skate forward right, then left
Take her knee in the groin.
Fall flat on your face, try to laugh it off.
Stand up mortified, tell you her you need some punch.
Leave dance and cry yourself to sleep.

Okay. I might have added a few [...]

Mmm juice made from babies. Yummy…no wait. What the heck?

Soon all the fashionable babies will be crawling around with ‘BabiJuice’ written across their little diaper butts.
Not sure that is gonna go over so well.

Sometimes, just for fun Mary and Phil would roll their dishwasher into the covered porch of their desert home
and would have their blindfolded children do the housework while they sat by, sipping dry martinis.
The kids loved it.
Phil called it ‘Chore Olympics Night’.
Mary called it genius.

Bob had heard Anne Marie was difficult to work with before he hired her for the nail polish shoot. He knew she insisted on sweet tea and ice-cold carrot sticks in her dressing room. He knew she brought her own hair and make-up people in. He even knew she was prone to taking random breaks [...]

AdTalk: The Tomorrow People (BBC)

Um, I don’t know how to tell you this Michael Holoway- you are indeed not a tomorrow person.
You are more like a day  decade-before-yesterday person now.
And yup. I found the show.

All I can say is wow.
As in WOW I feel really really sorry for all those British kids.

It’s like that in my head.

Baby’s got back and the mean hunk of wood.

 
You know how sometimes advertising executives think it would be really effective to convey their message to their target demographic, buy using the current ‘lingo’ of the day? And you know how sometimes they go insanely overboard using a risqué cartoons and way too many slang terms so the end result is a weird [...]
