Did we learn nothing from "You bet your Aspercreme!"?

Rolaids: Kick Acid!
They mitigate it at the end with “Kick Acid and gas too”, but still.

:slight_smile:

Where is the problem?

Try saying it aloud. Of course, it will depend on the audience, but some segment of the public will be offended by saying “kick-ass.”

I’m so offended, I shipped my pants.

That segment is vanishingly small compared to the people who will find it amusing.

Is your internet speed half fast?

Interesting. I’m not bothered by kick assid or half fast, but “I shipped my pants” seems juvenile. I’m not sure why.

JAQ, 53 going on 80

“Shipped my pants” has a scatological component that the “ass” jokes just don’t have.

This is the one I was going to mention. When commercials come on that’s the time I do something else so I hear more than see most ads. This one never fails to “get me” even though I’ve heard it dozens of times.

I wish “I shipped my pants” ran here. That truly gives me some (juvenile) joy :smiley:

You’d think so, but “you bet your Aspercreme” was yanked pretty darn quick.

Go take a ship.

Pull one off, and tell me what you think.

There’s a promo for a new show about NASA wives where one of them, apparently in reference to a husband’s infidelity, says, “That’s why they call them ass-tronauts”.

Gotta say, that does not seem to promise sparkling writing.

The aspercreme ad was amusing. It was “You bet your sweet aspercreme” too, which was even better.

Excuse you, gigi, but that Aspercreme commercial was the shit! Totally unexpected, especially for something I had generally thought of as an old, arthritis-y thing. I was so pissed when they changed it!

And it was, “you bet *your sweet *Aspercreme”. Then they [del]ruined[/del] changed it to, “you bet if it’s Aspercreme”. Jerks.

They’re trying hard to fill the coming void left by Mad Men. Like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

I was amused by them yanking it and then more amused that an ad agency would take a chance again. I guess Rolaids isn’t as age-specific as Aspercreme.

There’s a local window glass company whose trucks have a large photo of a donkey and the slogan, “Does this truck make our glass look big?”
