Scene: Chrysler Concorde cruising down the road. Mom driving, early-teen daughter riding shotgun, baby girl strapped into car seat in back. Mom and daughter are having a conversation while narrator extols the virtues of the car in between.
Daughter: So mom, how did I get my name?
Mom: Well honey, we named you after the place that you were concevied.
Daughter: So you named me Savannah?
Mom: Yes, that’s right.
Daughter thinks about this, then looks in back seat.
Daughter: So why did you name her Concorde?
Mom looks all kinds of nervous. Daughter faces forward and notices the “Concorde” decal on the dashboard.
Daughter: Ewwww, gross.
Narrator: “…and some people love it for the big back seat.”
I just love how mainstream crudeness is working it’s way to Madison Ave now.
The first being the MGD commercial where the black guy and girl are coming home from a date, kissing and groping as they enter the apartment. She directs him to retrieve a pair of beers from the fridge while she gets ready to settle in for some lovin’. The noise stirs her roomate who’s laying on the couch, the couple’s eyes meet in disappointment. He grabs two beers, closes the fridge door and notices a picture of the two attractive roomates arm in arm, hugging as females are apt to do. A look of epiphany moves across his face as he opens the fridge to grab a third beer, heading into the living room with a sly, devious look and a grin.
Oh yes, a genuine opportunity. Too bad its such a horrible beer, even by macro-brew standards.
Damn straight it’s a good commercial! No berline basher am I. Just a confirmed sedan fan.
Two-doors may look cool, but a sedan is where it’s at when you’re young and on the prowl. . .
But naming the kid “Concorde” is just sick. I once went to school with a girl whose middle name was Capriceimpala. Her folks must have had a serious Chevrolet fetish.
Zappo
Speaking of beer commercials, remember the one where the guy opens a beer and it spews all over the girl? Also, in the Coors Lite ads (It’s cold, but it’s not a Coors Lite) when there is a close up of the can being opened and some of the beer runs down the side? To me, these seem to be using phallic/ejaculatory imagery to sell a product. Anybody else agree?
