How to get ahead in advertising

[aceofkittens]

My favorite slogan right now is on my box of crackers: "Triscuit fills you, but not with regret!"

Hmm, I beg to differ. I would totally regret eating that whole box of Triscuits! :) And Wheat Thins... just because it has "Thin" in the name, doesn't mean I should eat the whole box either. I'm just saying. But I'm not listening!

Stupid crackers.

Oh well. Let's discuss all our favorite ads, commercials, and slogans. I want to hear about funny things. Dance, monkeys, dance!

Something about wheat thins...you can't stop eating them.

Triscuits? No flavor.

that's why triscuits are vehicles for things like cheese and other little treats! :) my grandma always gave us triscuits.

Is this the same grandma you tried to give a tampon to?

[cohen7.livejournal.com]

the same :)

I know. I can eat two boxes of Wheat Thins and not even notice.

My gay boyfriend makes little "Triscuit Pizzas." They're yummy!

the best commercials are ones that incorporate farts, in my humble opinion. very low brow, i am.

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see a link to a commercial with farts in it!

[cohen7.livejournal.com]

your wish is my command :P

Yum - Wheat Thins!

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

I really think they are filled with some kind of cocaine additive. I can't eat just one.

[mango-king.livejournal.com]

Well - that explains why I like them! Just kidding. :) (sort of)

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm still pondering my "drug-infused" vodka. Just kidding! Well, only a little. :)

I totally love that commercial (for coffee creamer I think) where a bunch of grumpy people are doing ill-mannered things in the morning. The best is the woman watering her flowers who turns the hose on the smiling paper delivery boy and then smirks. Next best is the office worker who idly knocks a bunch of folders off of a filing cabinet as he walks by. I feel like that some mornings.

My favorite commercial over Xmas was the holiday version of Capital One's Viking ads. It just made me laugh and laugh! :)

I haven't had any coffee/Diet Coke this year! Crazy, huh?

[sakeofmercy.livejournal.com]

i like commericals where extremely bored and listless-looking retail workers suddenly see a delicious fruity beverage, some loud obnoxious pop-music starts up and everyone starts dancing up and down the aisles...

:D

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

That happens in real life all the time! :)

My wife and I call the flavoured coffee-mate stuff, "coffee crack" because of its incredibly addictive nature...

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

Slogan: "We put the crack into crackers!"

Love it.

[trollpete.livejournal.com]

McDonalds - I'm loving it??? ew.

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

Definitely not loving it! Gross! :)

Okay, here's my confession.

[sashasana.livejournal.com]

That stupid weight watchers commercial with Cher playing in the background literally moves me to tears.

Oh god, and that mastercard commercial with Buster, the lost puppy. HELLO, WATERWORKS.

Man, I want to kick my own ass.

Re: Okay, here's my confession.

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

I confess I've gotten all teary eyed during that stupid "De Beers" ad where the younger couple is walking and sees the older couple holding hands. I don't even like diamonds!

:)

Newish Yoplait commercial.

In which they say their yogurt is "like zen wrapped in karma dipped in chocolate."

They clearly have no idea what these words mean. And people generally want to clear karma, not eat it. Maybe if they had said dharma... I could accept even something like "om wrapped in dharma dipped in chocolate." But no. Fucktards.

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

Oh, how lame!!!

But of course it reminds me of the joke about the Zen Buddhist going to the hot dog stand and saying "Make me one with everything." :)

[saladbar.livejournal.com]

I feel left out. I haven't watched tv in years.... :(. Commercials on the radio are pretty lame.

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

But there's still advertising all over everything we buy. For example: "Altoids. Curiously Strong!" "Chips Ahoy. Betcha Bite a Chip!" Etc. :)

I like the campy GEICO commercials. They vary.
