There are slogans that are funny, make no sense, or just seem perverted in some way…
Last week, a friend of mine bought me one of those Chocolate Oranges that you hit on a surface and it breaks into the bite size pieces…
I fliped over the box to see what it said for its catchy little phrase thing: “Whack it…Unwrap it!”
Now seriously, I wish I could get paid to come up with that. It lead me to think of all the other dumb things I’ve seen, some unintentional, some of which I am sure were on pupose, and some just plain lame…
“Just do it”
“Melts in your mouth, not in your hand”
and so on.
Please, share your favorites, I would love to read some new ones.
Actually it’s the same as all the other car companies out there. Every time we see a billboard with this ad on it, my boyfriend says, “Dodge. Desperate.”
Yup. The whole friggin’ slogan is spelling the name of the damn product. Apparently, the advertisers have come to accept the fact that half the population can’t read…
One of the stupidest slogans I ever saw was for the Volvo convertible.
“It’s like a bikini with safety pins”
Did they not run this by a single woman in their company? Wearing a bikini with safety pins (at least when I was younger) would mark you as the most socially inept dweeb on the beach.
“At Bennett New Car Alternatives- Everybody rides”
And they had some young lady on there saying it. It’s actually true, though. My brother met the girl in person one night. Everybody really does ride.
I think the “Zesty” thing is just rediculous. They should have stuck with the stupid dog. Come to think of it, Taco Bell has NEVER had a decent advertising campaign. They should just fire everyone in that office!!! Remember when they were using Rocky and Bullwinkle? Like everything else they do, that didn’t last long at all.
There are a bunch of billboards around the Twin Cities for an insurance company. They feature the name of the company prominently: Auto Insurance Program. and their logo down in the corner of the billboard is: AIG
… the hell? Shouldn’t that be AIP? or does the logo stand for Auto Insurance proGram, kind of like Calvin & Hobbes club, GROSS, or “Get Rid Of Slimy girlS Now!”
(Some kind of pain reliever I never bought). Little. Yellow. Different.
Those sports drink ads where people who drink the stuff end up with fluorescent sweat the same color as the drink. Umm, no.
Obey your Thirst. (the idea being that the mindless masses should ignore all ads, except for this one…).
I’d like to add the current outbreak of ‘What are you gonna do with your old antacid’ commercials. I mean, come on! The guy trying to sell them at a pawn shop… :rolleyes:
“What are you eating?”
“Nut’n honey”
it got old real quick… some ad campaigns should die quicker
and Weis “The power to save you more”
it seems wrong for a grocery store, should be for a doctors office or hospital…
“100 Billion Served”
sounds like the slogan for the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
