But I’m NEVER going to call it. So it’s a fail.
“Any advertising is good advertising” isn’t true. It’s just what ad agencies tell their clients to get more money.

Back when we got our first cell phones, I kept waiting for my wife to wonder why, out of the six numbers in my phone, I had one for “Jenny”… but she’s not that curious.
Well, now that it’s morning and I’m sober…kinda. I can’t say I remember the actual 8** prefix, but I can remember the rest of it.
I tried to remember Wentworth’s number and couldn’t until I realized the number I know is mostly not numbers.
Now that I have enough caffeine in me, I can remember the whole thing, and it keeps popping up in the jukebox in my head now.
My bad.
The singing buffalo in the Wild Wings commercial (buffalo with wings, buffalo wings - get it, get it?). Not only is it huge, ugly, and scary, but ‘BOURBON BARBEQUE WIIIIIINGS’ screamed out off-key sends me scrambling for the mute button.
I have an all-encompassing hatred for commercials where a Christmas carol is given funny new lyrics to sell product. There’s a new one out where the carolers are standing on brownstone-type steps singing at somebody that’s just infuriating. Don’t know the product. Thank you, inventor of the mute button.
The Vaseline Lotion commercial where the woman brags about her skin tone.
I think the buffalo has a lovely voice and if he wasn’t a buffalo, I would not have kicked him off the cruise. The singing glasses of Guinness, however. . …
It’s true, the butt-sniffing ad will never leave my head. But I still buy Secret instead of Lume.
May not be your cup of tea, but they’re just being body-positive for a segment of the population who have long been ignored, marginalized, or made to feel less worthy - anyone with a skin tone darker than mayonnaise.
My skin ain’t no Mayo color. TYVM.
I’m flesh toned. Light flesh toned, but still.
I like to be moisturized. I like Vaseline products.
I won’t buy that product because the ad makes me feel like it’s not for me.
Lotion should not be divisive.
I’m sure Vaseline had some lotion product you can feel is for you.
Too many women have felt that way about pretty much all beauty products, but didn’t have options.
Well, that put me in my place.
I hate the one where a woman trying to sound like a reporter “interviews” this guy from Andersen windows, tossing up softball questions that he will give his scripted answers to. So obviously scripted it made me glad I went with Pella.
Ann Rohmer? She actually was a reporter, at a Toronto TV station, back in the 1980s or so.
But I agree that the commercial is a little annoying. Rohmer makes it sound easy, but the window guy sounds too stilted to be speaking naturally. (“We do. Ann.”) If that’s the best take they could get, I’d hate to hear the others.
Ok. The Weather-tech Ad. The Dad unloads the Christmas tree. The back of the SUV is full of dirt, needles and bark. Dad exclaims “Oh, Fudge!”
Toddler exclaims “Oh, Fudge!” Mom gives Dad a dirty look.
Yada yada, buy Weather-tech products.
Sure. Fudge is a dirty word.
If you can’t use the real dirty word maybe you should rethink this ad campaign.
It’s just stupid.
…the big one, the queen mother of dirty words.
Yeah, they should have used a bleep.
I do love the look the mother gives, though. I’ve been on the receiving end of That Look many, many times.
